I have a couple available on a grant, but need to get done this year. I'm wondering if it is really worth the effort for 40 sheep? Would mains be easier as it is close by. I need to calculate how much the sheep cost with water but I doubt its that much...
I am in 2 minds as I have a trough fed from a stream using a pipe and gravity. The pipe is always blocking up and yesterday the trough was full with black ug from 1 year of use. Do ram pumps not block all the time? Does the tank they fill not get choked with sediment?
Just wondering how much maintenance is involved vs linking to mains. I get 1.5k for each pump which won't fully cover things so need to factor money in too.
Any advice much appreciated.
