Yea sounds like an amp draw issue. Hope you find something when you pull the pump out. Try to stick w 240 for the next pump if you can. Saves on heavier wiring and current draw. Good luck.

You can train your bones to feel the weather and water. It takes some tuning in but it's possible. It's in your DNA.

Cows/animals start laying around resting. Air pressure feels heavier.

If you have the money hire a septic company to locate it. They have their ways. Or an excavation company they have transponder they can locate the pipe in, especially if it's metal. Plastics a bit harder.

If you don't have much to spend try dowsing. If you're minds open to it lol. Grab couple copper or metal rods. Hold em in front of you apart. And walk the property, when you cross a septic line or tank the rods will cross. You're mind has to be in tune for this to really work. You will be able to see where the leach field line are and the tank where they branch from.

Any good growth in the land will give you hints. Looks for subtle settling over the years on the ground, like during a heavy rain. Back then things were more simple and straightforward so the location may be easier to find than you may think.

These days I've been drinking maple syrup and water(maple water). Great for the heat.

And honey water. Sugar cane water is another good one.

Great idea. I also thought of using the painters plastic blanket cover( clear). They have different thickness. W a stapler gun. Or sow a zipper around it, rivets etc

Totally doable. Dig deeper if possible use bigger tubes if possible and run a solar power fan for cool air. Or a fan over the water cooling tubes

Does anyone pump water from irrigation ditch into 300 gallon tanks positioned high enough to feed a drip irrigation system?
Does it work if the drop from tank to drip line creates enough pressure? How high would the tanks have to be?

Thanks...

There's a way you could do it without placing the tank  too high. You reverse the orientation of the drip emitters. Flip it. And you will be able to get the water to drip down without much pressure. Although it won't be much flow at all, it's steady and you won't need barely any head pressure. It works.

I planted Egyptian walking onions along with garlic in the autumn and they're thriving now in winter. I think all the 'soup' veggies all like the cooler weather. They seem to taste better. I know leeks like the same.

You should be fine. Your plumbing and pump will need cleaned and maintained though. I'd try get into rain barrels if possible. Filtration is also possible but you will need to maintain it.

Ok so your spring is 5 ft deep. The house is about 5 foot higher and 200 ft away. You will need to put it a 200 ft water line from the spring to your house. Dig the trench find out your frost depth so your pipes don't freeze. Pour in 6in gravel. Lay your line. Check for leaks and pressure test. Pour more gravel. Compact. Then add the backfill back in, in 12in increments. Compact accordingly.

Then you will need a room or closet, or build an insulated shed for your pressure tank and pressure switch. Google the parts and fittings needed.

Fairly straight forward watch some videos and take notes. Not too bad. You will need a well submersible pump. If you use a pump that isn't submerged ie. Lot more involved but still possible.
