Water from a hose

Going to be snow here for months. I live in SW Michigan. Trying my hand at indoors during the winter. Not as easy as outdoors and a crap load more costly

Middle of suburbia in GR or so. Not that bad.

P.S. Wyoming, Grandville and Gaines share the same 9+ PH water in spring and fall the last 2 years. I need to see where and what you got before I can help. But local for some time.

Happy holidays.
 
Your thread. I can't sleep. What you got or would like to do? Tell you what I would do based my experience. I do well indoors and out. Bit more work. Minimum cost after lights and fan.

Cinder block 10x12 @1500 watts. Michigan basement? 8x8 max. Humidity and mold are going to kill you. Sorry to say.

I tried that with a 65 gal poly barrel but at 3 feet. Water was slow and the farther away the slower it got. Friction you know. I have seen some 12 v battery pumps. I have no idea how much pressure to get. Also thought about a water trough with a sump pump.

Seems odd, I have this setup in both my places and water comes out FAST, like 8-10gpm. I presume you maybe had a small diameter hole somewhere along the out let path, thats why I suggest 3/4" ball valve and 3/4" hose. Since this setup isnt pressurized any small holes the gravity fed water has to travel through will slow it down.

But even at the end of my 100ft hose, water still came out just as fast as a faucet on full tilt so Im not sure why you would have had bud luck with gravity feed
 
Usually the valve in whatever your using to stop/start flow has the smallest orifice, Ive seen 3/4" listed ball valves have an actual 1/4" orifice, where as the nice valve I found locally has about a 5/8" actual port

Makes a big difference when there is only gravity pressure behind it
