Dude adding that goose as a float is genius. My intake basically sits on the bottom of a pond and occasionally gets clogged. By adding anything that will suspend the intake in the middle of the water will eliminate future clogs. Great video man! Subbed! 🤘🏻
Hello TJ , I have been losing prime .. my water source is from my canal .. I changed the check valve at the canal.. then filled my system with water from my hose that I connected to my system.. I got it running but when my system shuts down it loses prime.. any thoughts on what it could be ? Thank you and thanks for the videos
Even though it may seem that the check valve is holding correctly, you still may have a slow leak. I usually cut out the check valve, fill it with water, and let it sit. This way i could see if its leaking or not.
TJ. After I prime my Sprinkler Water Pump, and it works successfully, when I turn it of, I hear gargaling sound throughout the pump and in the Intake line too. Then it would not pull water again when I try to restart it.. Could it be the prime water gets deciphered out of the pump and the intake line from the Output pipes, when pump gets turned off ?

Thanks man. You made my life a lot easier with that T hack
Yeah man, that hack is awesome. Glad to help. Thanks for watching.
I pump out of a spring creek and this time of year the moss gets bad and of course it plug up everything, I'm going to try the Goose, Thanks man.

Cool man, glad to help.
Where can I get that goose? You got a link?
Any sporting goods store should have them, Cabela's, Sportsman's Warehouse, I've even seen them in Walmart.

AWESOME VIDEO@@@@ !!!!! Where do they sell that filter>?
Check your local sprinkler store. I don't think home depot sells them. They should but they don't. Are you in Florida?
yes , I am in Florida, Fort Lauderdale area

You need a check valve on your suction line. Make sure it's installed the right way.
Great video! What gauge wire did you attach the goose with?
Thanks, I think i use 12. Any copper wire will work. Just don't use any rope and make sure it is tied tightly.
Hello is there something else I can use besides the goose? I don’t want to spend $40 on goose.
tie anything that floats. Maybe a couple large empty water jugs will work. I have seen people make them out of PVC pipe and fitting as well.
