2.8. Dealing with dirty water
No farmer wants to pump dirty water, as this dirt will foul pipes, tanks and troughs resulting
in more work at some future date to clean it all out.
Our advice for moderately clean water resources:
2.8.1.
Each React pump comes with an intake foot valve strainer and replaceable intake
filter socks. It is fouls too quickly install a much larger stainless wire basket and filter
sock.
Ensure you have good access so that you can easily lift out the foot valve and
replace the sock as needed and to check that the foot valve is always in perfect
working order.
Our advice for rather dirty water resources:
2.8.2.
Provide a small pond where possible so that your water resource has more time to
settle. Ensure you have a large flush pipe and valve in the bottom of your pond so
you can flush silt away, otherwise your pond will soon silt up and be difficult to clean
out.
Ensure you have good access so that you can easily lift out the foot valve and
replace the sock as needed and to check that the foot valve is always in perfect
working order. See the operation section at the end of the manual.
