Thank you kindly! I appreciate your input and watching. 👍🏻

Very lucky to have two sources. Hooking a 1/2@ line into another 1/2@ line would mostly restrict flow from well 1 or 2. At your tee, replace it with a y into a 3/4 line. A colection tank with an overflow will produce more water than one could use. 24 hours a day. You are a lucky guy to have these. Great job. Thanks for sharing your project.

If possible try and avoid using shark bite quick lock fittings, they decrease the id of your pipe causing a restriction. They make a black plastic version that has a larger id for increased flow but it is not reusable. The best option is get a cheap set of crimping pliers and just get plastic fittings the flow will be better, I believe if you ran two separate 1/2" lines or where they come together at the T adapt it to 3/4" and you would get more volume

Great ideas!! Thanks for the input. There’s an updated flow report coming out soon. Thank you very much for your feedback.

I would put a small tank so the water can be filtered through the tank and you could have a bit of better pressure

Good idea 👍

Great stuff man. How would you move the spring water UPHILL if the spring was at a lower level to your property?

Alot of water. Congratulations. That blue hose should have been rolled out instead of loops fed out. Hope pipe doesn't freeze. Should have put loose rock in spring to support dirt & acted as a filter. Congratulations! 8kgal/day is my guess. My spring in east Texas is 4kgal/day(32oz/5sec, 3gal/min,4320gal/day. Very blessed. Need to setup a filter&solar pump system.

Thank you kindly buddy!! You have great production. I have continuous flow all year so no frozen pipes. Thanks for your viewership!

The pulsing water at the end is likely due to air that is in the hose. I bet overtime that disappears once the temperature increases, and that hose flattens out. That is a nice flow. I agree with others… Whenever you can save up enough money, buy as manytwo or $3000 water tanks and just keep filling them up all year. Just amazing.

Will do my friend. Thanks for watching!

3600 gallons a day, you could fill up a little lake with that. You could put a tank on top of a platform, and not have to use any electricity.

So right!!!🤩💡

I would for go the tee and instead run the two source into a collection box and then run the supply to end use. Another option to incres pressure and flow it use a much larger 3 inch pvc a few feet from the seep supply pipe and put 30 fee of 3 inch pvc down hill to the blue hose and place a plastic barrel were the pipes joint. Smart idea to use multiple sources to provide a stable water supply..

It’s the Darth Vader and me.

You would increase flow dramatically if you abandon the small diameter PEX for the PVC. PEX is fine under municipal water pressures, but at that length of run, purely gravity fed, you're introducing tons of loss through the PEX.

Thanks!!! Check out the new video about winter production.

Why did you need more than the the flow of the original spring? That looked like just over 1 gal/min which is 1,440 in a 24 hour period. That would be more than enough for 2-3 household(EPA est. 138-400gal/day for a typical family of 4) would be able to use that much water. That is not the proper way to develop a spring. Rule 1: do not disrupt the spring, Rule 2 do not obstruct the out flow. If either of these are not followed the outlet of the spring can move and seep from another location. 5gal/min, why do you need 7,200 gallon of water per day?

How do you keep the pipes from freezing in the winter?

The water flows throughout the winter and the pex does not freeze. Thanks for watching!

Will any part of this system freeze? I know running water will not freeze to a point but wondering how cold it has to get before it does freeze.

My guess is that it is pulling air from the first seep since it was like that before he added the 2nd line in. The second seep had a nice smooth flow coming out the end of the pipe before he hooked the pex up. Also, the flow from 2nd seep looks about the max that that pex line can free flow like that. I would check what flow from each line looks like where the two lines are joined and do gpm test there.
