[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1648530, member: 9933"] Nesi, I'll take a picture tomorrow. (If I remember my phone) I mentioned the monitor to my husband and he said he had looked online at some possibilities. If you know of anything specific, let me know. He thinks he fixed the circuit breaker problem today. The thing was full of bugs behind the circuits. The break in the pipe and the overflowing tanks are fixed too. We have power at the well. The well is at the top of a ridge and at 1120 feet elevation. All storage and stock tanks are located at lower elevations and gravity fed. We have a number of pressure relief valves located about every 100 feet of elevation drop to prevent things blowing up. We built this system and learned a lot along the way. We had some real geysers the first time we hooked it up to the springs and let things roll.😲 The lowest tank is at about 500 feet elevation. In some places it goes over or under creeks. We first began using this system after fencing off the creeks in 2002 and have added to it many times since. Every year we have floats that need grit removed, pipes that move and break or crack, and tanks that get cracks from age, abuse or soil movement. It is a pain sometimes, but mostly a blessing. The creeks at one time had at least some water year around, but now only have puddles at the lowest elevations from June to November, and the output from the springs is insufficient in late summer too.
