I have 2 field with no water and another 2 near by with not the best of set ups. It's all very well running two fields together but it's hard when bulls are out.
So I am thinking about pumping it. At an outlying shed i have electricity and a half inch water pipe. The water header tank is 820 feet and this shed is 705 feet. According to my pressure gauge I have 3.5 bar.
My first two water troughs would sit 950 metres away from the shed at 860 feet high and the next to would be a further 300 metres away so 1250 in total also at 860 feet.
Obviously it isn't going to run uphill but could and inline pump work? I think 3.5 at the shed should pump in 35 metres higher and it need to go about 52 metres from the shed 1250 metres away.
Any experts on here?
This is my first choice and if it won't work I will look at finding drains and probably over flow troughs or tanks and pumps.
