dude need water pressure at the hut to use water blaster gavity feed not too good really bad when someone parks on the hose......

[Beer_Cruiser]

Who leaves a hose on the ground in a car park were it can get parked on anyway????

[Sadam_Husain]

Dunno what my plans are that far ahead but I think it would be just plain rude not to go

What are you thinking of with the water supply Jerry, the water line is a communal line that feeds Green Hut and the 3-4 residences further down the hill. We would have to install a large storage tank for Green Hut to inprove the current trickle feed pressure and even then its going to be a bit limited on gravity feed through all that 15mm pipe?

[Jerry]

Ok I'm not really a water engineer or whatever they are called but maybe get you (abbo) and bundy together to figure out what needs to happen (and he can clear it with the shareolders etc) and what is needed and what we need to hunt around for and then put up a plan of action....

can you pm me your number abbo?, maybe go up and see bundy if you are able to....

how hard would it be to get drinking water up there? maybe something to think about?

[wgtnnewbie]

well i have a weekend pass for this so i'm in if i can get a ride......lol no tools but a strong back and a weak mind

[86-surf]

Ill be in if i can get a ride or better find some one who wants to go up but need a ride and has a full licence:D

[Jerry]

its down here....if you go up you'd be in jafa country

[86-surf]

foollll. you no what i meen lol

[skid]

its easy Jerry, you go to supermarket and buy 20l container of loverly drinking water

[Jerry]

Cool, bring some up when you come up to this .....

[curly12]

Will be in for this one

[Mark]

Oh man... couldn't go 1/2 Feb because of Sevens and cant' go 16/17 Feb because I'll be away (yet again). Starting to think that life is getting in the way of my 4wding... might have to do something about that

[abbo]

with the water supply i work with pumps dont know anything to do with gravity feed the things you where talking about with the water is what a plumber does i will talk to my boss about it he on to it when it comes to water supply so hope i can sort some thing out on this but if we need any thing i say i will be able to get my hands on it

[dazza85]

Bundy was talking about running a new larger main from the tanks, this will provide better flow ( and may provide better pressure less frictional loss maybe ).
There was some other changes but I can't remember what they were.
Abbo, the system is a simple gravity fed system, a dam feeding a 2000ltr storage tank which feeds down to the hut etc.
There is only part time power from a generator that is normally only run in the evening for lighting etc.
I think that to provide "drinking quality" water would require treatment of some sort.
Is there a treatment process that would work without power ??
Even if it was set up so that it was only feeding one tap so there was not so much water to treat.

[SV1K]

I would love to help on this one but it looks like the "ARAC Trip Leader Training" is on that weekend, if it's not then I will be there...

[Jerry]

will advise closer to the time exactly what we will be doing, the whole water system may looked at and the new toilets/showers may be started then

[Mark]

Oh wow... lucky they notified me that they had a date planned

I guess I won't be doing it after all as I will be down south. Doh.

[wgtnnewbie]

i'm still in and still need a ride....

[curly12]

Any plans firmed up for what work is to be done next weekend??

[Sadam_Husain]

Any plans firmed up for what work is to be done next weekend??

I think its just the usual drinking beer, swearing, telling lies around the fire, talking about girls, trucks, V8's, chainsaws and all that sort of stuff

But other than that my guess is we should keep exploring and re-opening other tracks that we havent found or used before?

disclaimer: nobody mention Widow Maker in this thread coz theres already another active thread for it

[taz01]

widow maker......widow maker.......widow maker
