It never ceases to amaze me the body of knowledge and skills that a rancher/farmer has to have to be successful--Animal science, animal husbandry, animal nutrition, animal psychology, agronomy, horticulture, plant science, plant pathology, basic veterinary medicine, electricity, plumbing, carpentry, welding, fence building, auto/truck mechanics, agriculture equipment maintenance, meteorology, insurance specialist, and banking/money management. Based on observing my family members and friends who have been involved in farming/ranching, I think a deep faith and supportive network of family and friends is also necessary! You and Marisa are a good team and are successfully working through all of your obstacles and challenges together! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!! I keep you and yours in my daily prayers!
If you want to have the air moving in your well house they have solar powered fans that would work. We put one in our greenhouse about 10 to 12 years ago and it is still running. They have them at Home Depot.
The bladder keeps the pump from switching off and on every second.
... by keeping the system at a steady pressure. A bladder for a boiler furnace or large hot water heater is there for the same reason.
Nice job you two! The Lord is GOOD in providing the water needed.
Glad to see you got the well working again. Now just keep the Bison out of the water tanks.
Marisa is a great wife and helper 👍🏻
Ranching is so much more than feeding animals. The knowledge of running equipment is neverending. Blessings 🙏🫶🙏🫶
I know nothing about ranching cattle or Bison .I guess you can call me a city girl . But I LOVE Watching your videos ❤ I cryed last year when that little calf pass away and you buried it 😢 But I got so excited 😂🎉 watching a new calf being born and how its mother started takeing care right away ❤❤❤❤ Thank You for shareing with those of us who have no idea how hard you work and yet for me I get a kick out of watching the Bison follow you as you drop those cubes .
Thank you for shareing with us your daily life and shareing your family as well ❤ May GOD Continue to bless you and your family ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
I grew up up on well water. It was what we drank at meals. It was always cold and refreshing. The neighbor boy, who lived on a farm just half a mile down the road, would come in for a glass full, first thing, whenever he came over to play, as he liked our water so much more than his own well water.
I drank well water as a kid on my grandfather's farm all the time so cold and tasty but created to much iron deposits on my teeth rotted them my teeth literally where falling out of mouth now I have dentures be careful if you drink well water. Or get it tested for iron
@@darceyschultz2370 Luckily, we didn’t have an issue with iron in our water. Problems with my teeth came the candy I bought from cashing in beer and pop bottles that we picked up from the ditches on the walk to the bait shop on the other side of the lake.
I grew up on well water also. Have well water now. Sometimes you have rust, but you deal with it! 🌻👍🌻
❤
😂Marisa, got a refreshing shower😅🌸
Love how you tease each other, "Mr Muscles"😂
Plumbing the Ranchin Way, hope you fixed that well issue for good!💧💧💧🤞
Good thing Marisa was there Supervising!🌸💜
Keep Bison Ranchin Dusty and Marisa!🙏🦬💜🌸
Awww did y’all see Thor smile!!! So cute.
Great job Dusty😊🎉 thanks Marisa 🎉for your support in this getting done for the Bison.
DUSTY and Marissa, great to see your well house is up and running again, hope it lasts for many years to come. Have a wonderful week with the bisons. David B.,Utah. 🐕🐕💞💞❤❤❤.
I watched a video about Bison being brought to a ranch in middle Tennessee. Those who watched toilet. Told her to watch your videos so she can learn from you.
I watched it too!! Narrow bottom ranch or something like that. She got 25 females and one bull if I recall. It will be fun to follow her to! 👍🏻👌🏻.
WOW Dusty, an electric saw + water...way to make your viewers extremely anxious 😳
"Toilet"??? I also saw that video and noted that several viewers mentioned Dusty as a great resource. She needs to have a second bull, with that number of females, right Dusty? Besides, you don't put all your eggs in one basket. I wish all the best for her; she's going to find it hard without a partner.
Her name isn't toilet. she has family around her. She is part of the same organization as Dusty
I made a mistake. I wrote that I was sorry for it.
So proud you got the pump replaced, great job👏👏❤️❤️
Hi Dusty, Marissa and Brooks. Love watching your videos. Always working on something at the ranch. Glad you got a new pressure tank. Good to see water system working God bless and love yall ❤❤
make sure to charge the air tank up to 2 PSI below the start PSI of the pump. Otherwise the pump will burn out much quicker than otherwise
Woo hoo glad to see you again❤. He was trying to cool you off Marisa 😅
The bigger the pressure tank the less that the pump runs and saves the pump
Yes and no; the bladder (In Dusty's case it's inside the tank) plays the largest part of it. A larger bladder would be the correct suggestion to preserve the pump.
Well water - YEA! I’m so excited for y’all! God is good.
Dusty and Marisa, you all hit the water lottery there. Thankful to God for this blessing. Hope this well stays plenty full all year!
I just love the way Marisa is willing to help. Just love watching your videos.😊❤
So glad you have water well working! Linda
Marisa,I love how you ask questions,I'm learning through you. How are the eggs doing?? What a team you are.Thank you for letting us in.
I am Super Proud of you n Marissa for working together so wonderfully getting your tank n water figured out!!! May God n Jesus continue to protect n Guide you thru life!! N Brooks n Bison n all else!!!Glad your water is cold also!!!
Love and enjoy watching your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the bison and other animals and working on the homestead well system
That blue tank is called an accumulator. The same technology is used in most hydraulic systems in trucks, aircraft and many other situations. Basically it helps to keep the system pressurized and working at full capacity. Without it all you would have is the pressure generated by the pump.
Glad the pressure tank was the problem. Good job Dusty and Marissa.
Seven words that make algorithms love You.
My son Brad glued himself to himself 😂😂
I super glued my 2 fingers to the super glue tube while repairing my HP laptop hinge a few months ago. 🤣(HP stands for hinge problems lol). The tube cracked and I wasn’t fast enough getting my fingers off. I didn’t wanna glue BOTH my hands to it so I sacrificed my right hand. 😂 I couldn’t find the nail polish remover and my daughter was in bed so i couldn’t ask her. I googled and used baking soda. It took a long time and it was pulling on my skin. The next day I found the nail polish remover. It was under the kitchen sink where I put it in case I glued myself to something. 😂 I forgot. 🤣 Never again without gloves!! Oh and my hinge is working great. Superglue and baking soda makes a nice hard resin.
@@rockinrobin1007 my husband and I were out on a date when I got a phone call from my daughter asking if we had any fingernail polish remover. Knowing she doesn't use fingernail polish, I asked her if she glued her fingers together. She didn't want to admit it but finally did say yes. Needless to say I was laughing very hard! I know I'm a horrible Mom to laugh at her.
Congratulations! I know the water supply was a concern.
Hello Dusty and Marissa.. I’m so glad the pump is fixed again !! That watering system was a blessing for watering the Bison !! I think Dusty might have turned the spray of water right at Marissa… Lol.
Thank you two, for this awesome video. Very interesting ❤❤❤❤❤. So glad you have water and never a dry well.
That glue does not wash out of clothes...son is a plumber not a single pair that doesnt have pipe glue...
My husband worked with resin. We still have it in the dryer from that job. We got all his work clothes at thrift store because they were stiff in 9-12 months.
Hey Dusty looks like you did pretty good job to me. The rule with this type of pressure tank is to start with an empty tank. Find the cut in pressure on the pressure switchand pressurize the tank with 2 lbs less air pressure example is if rhe cut in pressure on the switch is 40 psi you want to have 38 psi in the empty tank. That pressure switch usually is rate at 40 to 60psi. Cuts in at 40 psi and cuts out at 60 psi. There different switches that are 20 -40 and also 30-50. These switches switches can be adjusted but I recommend not to mess with it if you don't know if the pump in the well can handle it.
I grew up on well water. I do miss it. Glad things are going WELL. LOL Keeping my 🤞 for the well not to go dry. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us Dusty, Marissa and Brooks. 👍😊
Y'all are a good team 💪❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
My nephew just got a male and female bison. He’s got them in with a small herd of Holsteins lol. He knows absolutely nothing about them. lol love your show. Hope things are better from the tornados
Also when you are gluing PVC pipes together, better to apply glue to both surfaces of the joint. Makes sure that there are no weak spots.
your twos teamwork is fantastic and Brooks supervision is darling
Great problem solving and repair! You did it!!
We put in a storage tank so if something happens to well we’ll have some water it also allowed more pressure in water lines. Have a blessed week. We on an aquifer to but some times it gets fouled due to a large oil field behind us but since they started cleaning up the field water has been good but high lime so we have a softener in house.
I'm sorry I laughed Marissa, but that was funny. Great to see that the well has water!
At the top of those pressure tanks is a Schrader valve, just like your car tires. You can use that valve to let the air out and reduce the pressure in the tank, before you cut the pipe. That way the water doesn't spray all over you. You could have also attached a hose to the spigot and turned that valve on to reduce the pressure and even opened the main valve to let the water drain to the tanks.
Another good video. Always learning new things.
Hopefully at that rain has raised your water table and you won't have to worry about your well!
Just make sure the pressure switch shuts off with in a short time after the tanks are full
Use the wet or dry glue it’s an aqua blue color for water systems it can glue pipes or fittings even with water dripping
Teach your wife how an in line ball valve works. When the handle is a cross the pipe it's off, and when it's in line with the pipe it's on.
Wow! That tank seemed totally waterlogged! It's bladder must have been deflated. Our first house in CT had a shallow well, and that water tasted so good! But, at some point, we had up to 8 family members living in it. We would run out of water every summer. We had to schedule fast showers and laundry, which was a pain in the neck with teenagers. Here in Florida, we have city water. It's so nice not having to do with a water tank and well, now that we're seniors. There certainly is a never ending supply of projects on your ranch. I guess the positive side of that is you can never get bored. With prayers and love from Donna in Spring Hill, FL.
On any farm, you never run out of work waiting for you.
Why not a union for ease of dismantling in the future?
I put a compression fitting on the pipe into my tank. Glad I did, as tanks don't last very long in the Florida sun-3-5 years. When I need to change tanks, I loosen the compression fitting and pull the tank pipe out, Switch the pipe from the old to the new tank and back into the compression fitting. Takes all of five minutes.
Rancher not a plumber. Lol
Hey she was a Help and wow the new take is going to help you all so much.
Awesome this worked out for you and Marissa
Good job. I’m a city dweller and learning so much about teamwork on a ranch.
I didn't mean toilet when I wrote that sorry.
Interesting and great video, thanks. Fingers crossed.
If you would have put a union in instead of a coupling you could take it apart easier in the future.
I didn’t notice you putting Teflon tape on the male fitting into the bottom of the tank. I probably just missed it BUT if you didn’t keep your eye on it. It may leak without it.
So happy you have your water well fixed Dusty
Hope that solved your problem.
Why is Dunbar being moved back to the original place? Is he going to be processed like the other Bison there?
Negative
Use super glue to put soft paws covers on cat nails . That will have you stuck to your cat.😂
Congrats on your wells ! 😂 Maybe clean out a couple of them.❤❤❤
Water probably feels good 💦
I hope that does the job for you!
That nice long walk you should be holding hands since you have a few minutes alone and not busy.
amazing video- have a great day,🙃
When I built a home in southern Colorado, (desert country 7,600 in elevation. I drove a well point 1 1/4" galvanized pipe 16' into the ground.
Added a tank as you have plus a water pump. It supplied water for showers and watering the garden, and laundry for 8 people.
Our underground water and ground were much different than in Oklahoma.
@patevans3709
16 hours ago ..., plus operating all the equipment. OH! Yeah, and raising a sweet baby girl!!!
Good job, Dusty!
Every day is a new adventure. I love your videos. 🎶💐💖
With a water well i had it go far down deep into the water so many families well had gone dry i didnt want to be part of that list:)Dusty and Wife amazing job working together is Praise The Lord. Love you both Barbie & Sam NWP, FL
Put the date of install on side of tank with marker
Thanks, another day of ranching, best of luck. ✌🏻👊🏼
new way to shower lol
Good job Dusty.
Thank you Dusty and Marisa for the update on how things are going there in Oklahoma !
fyi....... you should get your favorite brother-in-law to dig a few wells further in pastures with that fancy yeller shovel he's got..... you could rig up a solar pump or even a gas pump...... It would help relieve your current pumps not having to pump so far and add extra fillup locations while burning pastures. also, save from needing ponds that need maintenance and aids in breeding mosquitos ext. oh.... also has a good chance of being a backup water source on premises if a well drys out elsewhere.
if you dig down and hit water..... stick a 3ft culvert pipe with holes drilled at the bottom and bury it and cap it. plump with a foot valve on the bottom an add a pump or pump connection and poof free water.
These blue pressure tanks are quite common. Every time an electric motor turns on and off it places more stress on the motor. If you just has the well motor connected to a pressure switch at the use point the motor would be turning on and off with grease rapidity. This is called short cycling and it’s a bad thing.
In the old days we used to have huge galvanized tanks that held 20,40, 100 gallons of water, they lasted about 50 years and held water between 30 and 50 PSI, 50 psi means mostly full, 30 psi means mostly empty. There is a problem however in these tanks that air would leak out. So you would need to shut off the pump and drain the tank. The baffle keeps the air and water separated.
The newer blue tanks are a magnitude smaller and have a higher tension baffle in them which maintain pressure, these tanks need always to be charged, if not they over stretched as the baffled is pushed toward the outlet. The typical operating range is 45 to 65 psi absolute or 30-50psi when atmospheric pressure is subtracted, depending on one’s elevation above MSL. As a consequence the newer tanks use more of their volume relative to the larger tanks. The problem is that they have much lower capacity in a drought and don’t last as long.
You actually don’t need a sealed tank at all, my uncle had a raised cement cylinder about 40 feet high on his farm. As the volume raises so does the PSI at the base.
To get 40 PSI you need 40*6.89 kPa or 27,560 Pa which is Kg/(m^2*sec^2).
Since water has a density of 1000kg/m^3 you need to stack the cubes about 28 meters high or about 87 feet high to get 40 PSI or around 110 feet high to get 50 PSI. It helps to have a hill on the property to build such a tank. Municipalities often build water towers, in which the majority of the tower is at or above the PSI target then use pressure regulators in different parts of the system to even out pressure. The advantage of the cement water tank is that it can store significantly more water in a drought (my uncles was about 10 feet across), even though at the end of the drought you will end up having to pump water from the bottom of the tank to maintain pressure. The other problem is they tended to leak and grow all kinds of critters in them.
A better strategy is run-off capture tanks that are fenced away from the animals. The levels of recent flooding on your property indicate you and your neighbors are well below optimal surface water storage. Surface tanks not only store water to the animals, they feed water slowly into the aquifers depending on the clay used to line the tank. Because of the lack feed water last summer your wells went dry. The other advantage of large fenced off tanks is that you can stock them with large mouth bass, sunfish, chad. This will give something for your snakes to feed on😎 From these tanks you can feed water to the animal watering tanks or irrigation systems.

Those pressuretanks don't last forever - and a plumbingguy just told me their lifeexpectancy has not increased during the last decades...
Ruts my heart that Dunbar always gets shipped off. Why not big Joe. I love Dunbar. I thought he was Top Dog.
What pounds is the pressure switch set to?
I hate spiders and snakes , they freak me out ….I love furry, cuddly animals
lol! You two are funny. “Water”. “water” ! Yup water! Love watching!
I have well water. Water is the best for drinking!! Yup,cost very little
Im sorry if i missed the explanation, but why is Dunbar being moved? Is he not well?
Glad the well is working. Hope it continues. I read in the news that a white bison was born in Yellowstone National Park recently.
Nice surprise to get an extra video report from Oklahoma! Hopping to get anotherone on thursday!
Our pressure tank went out last summer. It had rusted out the bottom. In this heat, water is primary for comfort. Your herd is always well taken care of. Thank you for sharing your experience 🦬
You should go back to the well house with a permanent marker and put the year date on the blue tank. The next person who has to deal with it will thank you. It might be Brooks.
Working that new water tank is like me and my husband hooking up the hoses and stuff for our pool. We do it every year, but it's still a process. But it all works out in the end...😂
Usually there is a nozzle type fitting on the side to add air if the diaphragm is deflated or air has seeped out. Glad you got it running! You will probably have water unless you have an extended drought since it's a shallow well. If that turns out to be a problem you could look into building a cistern to store water during droughts. Those silos might be good for that if you're not using them but you'd have to worry about the weight and whether the seams would hold. The good thing is you'd have gravity feed to supply the water once pumped up there.
Thanks for your videos ❤🎉😊
I absolutely love Marisa.. She is my kind of gal..
We have a 52-gallon tank on our irrigation system well. . In Ohio we had well water and it was never tested but we used it for everything.
What females will be coming over with Dunbar?
Did Danial teach you everything he knows,,haha. Love to see your wife with you
A way of checking how much water is in the well is dropping a rod with an eye in it down the shaft till it stops then pull it up watching for the water mark on your rope market and measuring it to the bottom of the rod should give you an idea of how much water from bottom up to top of water and marking the rope at the top will give you total depth of well and how far below surface to water table in well
Check to see if tank is filled water or air if tank is filled with water then it's bad I the air surrounds the bladder when you knock on the side of a tank it should sound hollow I watched a RUclips video guy called H20 mechanic he does wells
Copper will help control algea in those tanks as well as other microbes, bacteria, viruses, etc.
