ok guys, i need a solution and all i can think is buying a water pump. (mr ed, can you offer any solution? I've reached my limits at D.I.Y :/.

* problem, cant get enough water pressure to feed machine.


i have tried changing 'quick clip' to jubilee clips to increase flow.

also opened up as much interaly of tap as i can

had drilled small holes on top of barrel to improve air flow.


as is gravity fed, will raising hight of water buff help?


any and all advice apreciated View attachment 172640View attachment 172641

What exactly IS that? What are you trying to do?

A visit with the mysterious Lyn is also a dream of mine....
Maybe a could also do a loop of Scotland.

Filling a water tank that will feed a pressure washer? Or supplying water from the tank to the pump?

 

[ZEROPILOT]

You'd need a few lbs of pressure it seems.
But I've seen gravity fed rigs.

Oh no John! What a blow for you. I'm so sorry to see that, doesn't the place you are working have insurance to cover things like that?

Nothing mysterious about me Ed, just your ordinary run of the mill Welsh girl!!
When I have had all my house renovated I will invite you all over.

Well. Seeing that you are the only Welsh girl in my small circle of freinds. You will remain unique even without your great sense of humor or your thoughtfulness.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

John. Without pressure, you'd need to elevate the water tank to get it to feed. The higher up, the more water volume.
I'm not sure how much vacuum comes off of the intake side of the pressure pump. It might be enough to draw water from a tank. It might also just suck the hose closed. Burning up the pump.
Let me do some looking. I'll get back to you.

Ooh that looks nice

It is the only outlet in this country and if one does not like the sea then there is no outlet whatsoever. Imagine that.

 

[Gillian M]

Southern Jordan.
Enjoy and if you can, take pictures.
I know you aren't really big on taking pictures.

Oh I really am excited and am hoping to enjoy it.

Will take pics though you are right: am no good photographer.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

It is the only outlet in this country and if one does not like the see then there is no outlet whatsoever. Imagine that.

It might be time to move?
Seriously. It sounds more like a prison than a place to live on purpose.
I mean this with no disrespect to you.
You need more joy in your life.
