During our 2015 Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar in Kendall County, Texas we had the opportunity to see some 5-inch LDH being used with a TFT low level strainer in a jet siphon water transfer configuration. Our friends from the Bastrop FD showed folks how to make it work and it seemed to work just fine. Granted, it was 5-inch hose so the flow was probably less than a 6-inch hard suction hose, but it still worked pretty well and if we were faced with a shortage of suction, this set-up would make a difference. Now we just need someone to conduct some flow test work on the set-up. |
