Trenching in Water for Your Property

For those wanting to trench in some water pipe and set up water points around their property. This is how I set mine up and I'm real happy with it. Also a demonstration of my mobile watering system for my flock of sheep which get moved to a new piece of ground every other day. The pipes are set below frost depth for my state which is 18inches to prevent freezing.  The mobile tub is only used during above freezing.  For winter I use a 25 gal tub and break ice in the morning and re-fill morning and night.

Here is the equipment list I used:

I have 8 of these water points on 10 acres of pasture so anywhere I move the sheep and dogs there is water right there (also great for watering in new trees).

The water points have these Plasson Quick couplers attached to a water pipe buried 18-24 inches (Virginia frost depth is 18 inches) so the water pipe wont freeze and bust open.

Not sponsored this is what I bought and where I got it: The water pipe I used is POLYETHYLENE HDPE 1-1/4 IN. - ROLL PIPE (500 FT.) $545 webpage

I used 1500 ft of water pipe on 10 acres.

You only need 1 or maybe 2 as a back up for the Job Float Valve - $57 - https://powerflexfence.com/products/jobe-valve-34

You need 1 each of these for each water point:
Plasson Quick-Coupler Valves - $15 - webpage
Plasson Riser for quick coupler - $5 - webpage

You attach the quick coupler to this PHILMAC FEMALE TEE, 3/4" which is connected to your water pipe. $23 https://powerflexfence.com/products/female-tee-34

Using a water hydrant for each water point would be anywhere from $100-$250 depending on the hydrant so those Plasson quick couplers are a huge savings.
