Water Tank Filter

[RGilliam]

I need a good filter that I can put in between my filler line and my water tank, we have some jobs that get there water from wells, and the water in my tank starts looking merky. Then the trucks we wash have a film on them. Any suggestions?

 

[Connor]

This is what I use. It keeps up with my 5.5gpm pump, tank is usually full unless the well is really bad. Get at home depot.

 

[JBurd]

Connor, where'd you get that sweet little skid? is it direct drive or gear box driven?

 

[Christopher]

I would get a large sample of that water and take it to a place like culligan as it could be different things and a particulate filter might not be enough, you might need a carbon filter and/or particulate filter and/or something else, you don't know what it is until you have it tested then you can get the filter you need.

 

[Connor]

I built that skid, It is direct drive. Going to change out the 3 gallon gas tank with a 12 gallon one this spring.

Tank-Feed Pump filters

In this image you can see a clear-bowl filter on EACH pump
..at 12gpm each, and fed with a fire-hydrant.
that takes a 5" cleanable stainless steel 80 mesh element..



10 inch version is also available..
for well-water.. use 5" for 5 gpm, 10" for 8gpm
If you ever pump reclaim water.. double that.

Whatever you do.. ALLWAYS use a clear-bowl filter so the users can SEE what's going wrong
.. BEFORE it causes downtime.

I stock the above filters,
and every fitting and adapter you could possibly need (just ask Tony Shelton.)
.. call for price

Is that a metal gas tank that you carry, I would like to have one that holds about 20 gals for gas, let me know if you can make/ get one you have my cell number!

 

[Sirocco Jerry]

That's a diesel engine.
I can get fuel cells in any material you like.
Gasoline tanks have new limitations, so prices have gone up a bit,
but diesel fuel is easy.. it isn't the hazard in vapor-form as gasoline.
I did some research on gas tanks in the past 2 months and have a few shapes in the 20gl range.
I'll call you :{)

Jerry Where did you get that set up and how much?

 

[Glen Hogan]

I'm talking about the power washer

 

[Johnson]

I'm talking about the power washer

He built it.

 

[AquaMike]

Is that an Izuzu/Yanmar diesel?

 

[Sirocco Jerry]

It is a Vanguard-Daihatsu Diesel
they have been great motors
I like ALL the Japanese diesels
35hp gets this 24gpm system up to 1800 psi

We built 4 of 'em for a shipyard for rinsing ships after rennovations.

can you say.. 3 wand soft-wash system ?? :{)

..and the new version will have a smaller footprint by about 12".

 

[Kiloman]

MMMMM nice

I would look at renting softener tanks first that should filter the water down enough to eliminate the filming issues. You will also notice the detergents performing better for you as well. If that doesn't do it you may have to step up to DI tanks or an RO system, but i really think the softener will be enough.

 

[Sirocco Jerry]

ditto Paul..
Good call on the water softener.
..and softening is half-way to spot free !
