Pumpless pump progress

Still trying to work out a method of using the irrigation well with no electrically powered pump. May have hit on it but had to do a small scale test before even considering it on a full scale. The small scale model worked, so now it's time to try out larger scale.

The idea is nothing elaborate. It's just a siphon system. Siphoning is typically done with the supply placed higher than the receiving container. However, this can be substituted by elevating the siphon hose in an arc. So, i'm going to try this using a hose with a shutoff at the end. Keep the valve open while submerging the hose into the well. Close the valve once convinced the water level is high enough in the hose itself. Raise the hose and elevate it and then open the valve again.

I know the idea will work. Only question is how high I may have to elevate the hose. If the actual water level was 25 ft down, I wouldn't be considering this. Since actual water level in the well is only 7 ft down, it may be reasonable. This will not supply water at any pressure if I can make it work but it will work for slow drip irrigation. To put it fully in place will require investing in several more garden hoses but that money would be saved off the first water bill or two. For other people, it would be possible to use such a system to fill a reservoir with a low turnover of the water level.

Daughter and I went to the indoor pool today. Had fun. This pool was actually nicer than the indoor pool we once went to on the NE side. Water was warmer, pool better maintained.

She's been hyper all day long. Ex said she woke up that way and it just continued until a short while ago.

Write more tomorrow. Getting to bed.
