Spring water maintenance 

Always enjoy your vids regardless of what they're about and even if they're short, thanks for sharing

I have been watching your videos since you started building your house and u are a real inspiration. I enjoy watching you videos and have learnt alot from watching them and want to thank you for that. I just watched House's on the edge and it was all about you and how you started and where u are now and I must say it brought a tear to my eye hearing your story. So please keep up the great video content and can't wait for you to build the new work shop.

👍👌👏 Good maintenance is always rewarding and very important. Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck health and wisdom.

the dipping supply to this tank . remind me of a churn i used to put under , a dripping tap much slower then that. it produce a full churn evry morning. that drip is much faster than my tap . suspect tow churn will be the result come morning .

Hey Kris. Have watched a ton of your videos and I know you are going through a low water season right now and you talked about diverting water from another stream for hydro power as well as scavenging some from the pond if needed. Have also seen where you are having a ton of water and bummed over losing all the power that is there. Well might I suggest setting up a ram pump? When you have a lot of water flow in the stream you can run the ram pump and get a little extra water up in the pond to use during times where you have less water available. You can also use it to take and push water into a tank for the trees and garden's use instead of having to ferry water around by hand. A couple of swing gate check valves and you should have little else to do other than adding a " T " into the line that your hydro is on or running another line for the ram pump. A couple of the swing check valves like what you used in your anti flow back system for your water heater will work perfectly. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A9W0zx2D7aU.html

Might help with water conservation if you put a lid on the spring to slow evaporation from the water that collects there in the little reservoir. The sun will heat those rocks, inturn heating the water, making evaporation faster. Plus, might help keep it cleaner.

This reminds me of Dell boys Peckham spring! I know you’ve got that hose hidden somewhere 😂 Great job on the videos mate! You’ve some awesome content 👍

Great stuff, friend.

Thaks for such a great video

I didn't know that you had spring! How cool is that

No issues with runoff from the field above the spring contaminating it? Do you drink this water?

You videos are so interesting to me. I can hardly believe you created it all. Such a hard worker.

Looks great 👍

Just seen your video on Barcroft, just subbed buddie

This video was found on 11/5/2020. Is there an update on the spring? Are there anymore maintenance or repairs?

hi Kris, hope to see you some time in september. just got to confirm my leave dates....

Good video thanks

Chris lov you're videos but you need to work on the sound, better mic or talk louder please....cheers man

What happened to all the trees you planted a while back? Are they going alright, with the drought and all?

Yay new vid

Good clean water..Nice

Check out charcoal used to purify water , cheap and low hassle , may need another water container or too but it will also increase reserve capacity some.

Thumbs up!

Maybe get an IBC (plastic tote on a pallet which can contain 1000L of water...If you can find one which had food (syrups and the like) in it you are set...

How are your planted trees holding up in this weather?

Hi Chris. Have you thought much about extending this spring area?? Add some reefs into the gravel area, they’re brilliant at absorbing nutrients from the water

why not use a syphon hose to clean the sediment from the tank... simple and affective

Kris, it'd be great if you could explain to us viewers on how you managed to live off grid. E.g. Getting the permissions etc!

any plans for a crayfish or carp pond?

What's the water quality like in there, pH, oxygen exchange, temperature fluctuations, does it freeze completely etc? Could you put some crayfish or something in there?

how well is the hydro setup performing now? is there any water at all? :)

How’s the hydro during this hot period. Thanks for the video

Would an intermediate settling tank/cistern close to the spring reduce the amount of sediment getting into the pipe and into the main tank?

Just saw your story on "Homes on the Edge" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sB0lxYLULho.html) . Very impressed Sir, the exposure can't but help you. Good to see you are getting wider acclaim!

How's the stream with your hydro power doing?

Who makes those boots?

I hope you can show how to make fire without matches as I live in Holland it is difficult just to make fire as my weather here is humid

Check this out

0:50-1:15 what?
