Creating a High-Performance Filtration System: Optimal Flow and Efficiency for Spring Water7/28/2023 Creating a High-Performance Filtration System: Optimal Flow and Efficiency for Spring Water Welcome back to Base Camp WNC! In this blog post we'll be discussing the construction of what could potentially become one of the biggest Springboks ever built. Both myself and Mr Chuck have older models that pull out from hillsides; however, dirt and sediment in our water supply became a problem for us over time. We decided to tackle it head on by installing filters onto our outflow pipes - but even then there were still issues with sedimentation left unresolved. This is why we took things up another notch altogether: building a spring-water filtration system designed specifically around removing these unwanted particles once and for all. The filtration system we've devised involves utilizing two 15 gallon drums. We cut off the top of one drum and placed it upside down on another to create a container for settling water inside. The tube directs incoming liquid towards entering through bottom part where dirt particles sink while leaving behind clean H2O that flows out via overflow pipe into catchment systems with ease! Additionally, filters were added atop this outflow pathway allowing for quick swaps or washes when necessary - making sure only pure drinking quality results are achieved from start till finish! With such an efficient setup in place anyone can rest assured knowing their household has access to safe & healthy hydration options every day! Cleaning your filtration system can be a hassle but not anymore! We've added an ingenious valve at the bottom of each drum that makes it easy to drain out dirty water without any manual intervention. This means no more messy cleanups or potential accidents - just open up the valve and let gravity do all the work for you! To create our filtration system we removed a 10.5 inch section from another barrel and positioned it atop the bottom one. We marked this line using an object measuring five inches tall before sawing along its length precisely. Afterwards we used ratchet straps to hold both sections together tightly while securing them with self tapping metal screws for added stability. This ensures that all water passing through is filtered effectively. With these steps completed successfully, you can rest assured knowing your aquarium's healthy ecosystem will thrive! To ensure a watertight seal we used Lexel, an adhesive that can stick to almost anything. We applied it on the joint between two sections and let it dry completely before filling up our drum with water for testing purposes. Our primary aim was checking if everything worked effectively without any leaks or gaps in the sealing process. To ensure that our system was watertight we used a two inch bail adapter for the inflow side. We also added threaded adapters and female connectors to link up black poly pipes from springs into drums using reducers inside them for controlled flow of water. This attention to detail ensures optimal performance from our setup. To optimize the flow of water and allow for sediment to settle we incorporated a 90 degree pipe with slots at its base. This component sits on top of our drum's bottom surface allowing for proper filtration by preventing clogging from occurring due to excessive amounts of dirt or debris infiltrating into it during usage . With this setup in place users can expect smoother operation when using their equipment while also minimizing maintenance requirements over time as well! The lid of the drum includes a half inch valve that serves as an overflow prevention mechanism. It allows excess water to drain away without causing any spillage or flooding inside the container. We also added a pipe with holes for even distribution of water within it. This feature ensures optimal utilization and conservation of resources while minimizing wastage at all times. The filtration system is designed to collect dirt and sediment from spring water so that cleaner, clearer water can flow into the catchment system. Its easy maintenance makes it a practical solution for dealing with sediment in your water supply. With this system you'll have peace of mind knowing that you are getting clean drinking water every time!
