[QUOTE="Mr Mackay, post: 7799346, member: 2575"] I wanted to have our cooling water on a booster pump which would turn on as the milk pump fired up,then off a few seconds after it shut down. We just decided to let the water run through at the pumped rate and collect for drinking ,washing down. Our water supply allows this ,whereas its a problem for others who maybe wish to collect the warmed water for boilers calf feeding etc ! (I also dont like the thought of it being a breeding ground for bacteria if handled stored wrongly ) I found it can be an obsessive train of thought ,so opted for the cheapest and least technical way for ours - by choking the milk off with a ball lever valve with some weld dabbed on the lever to ensure its always shut just enough and not too much which means that we dont have the variable milk pump either because my bro in law never gets around to fitting it :) [/QUOTE]
