- After installing the seaflo model 33 water pump and accumulator tank to control water pressure at the off grid cabin, it's great. Completes my diy rain catchment system.

Thanks for the video... I have a very similar situation living off grid in the Texas Hill country.
I can't wait to watch them put in the septic hole. I have one and want to learn more about it. I liked watching your pump installation today. You might have to insulate and heat that pump and hose for winter. Good job Joe.
Awesome job 👍👍👏👏👏👏
LOVE IT!!!! VERY informative, thank you sir!!🤩✌️🇺🇲
You learn something new all the time.
Water system installation was great.
Joe, thanks so much for showing this Seaflo 33 kit. Its just what I have been looking for. I am no plumber or electrician either, but it looks simple enough.that I'll give it a try. Thanks again!
Great job Joe! Just got off the live feed. Good talking to you.
And just for those that are looking to do this and don’t wanna spend $80-$100 for the whole thing because your pump still works they sell the accumulator tank separately and in various shapes and sizes for RV pumps or regular jet well pumps
They only thing I did not know is that I could use this instead of my 120 V jet pump
What a great setup water accumulator save your pump off grid. Great review we all need a off grid setup the city has gone mad .we coming up to live next door to you bro. We getting the hell outta the city. We coming up your way get off grid next door to you.
And if you want to be able to run things with heating elements, such as toasters or microwaves or anything that has more wattages than 700 W like you’ve gotten now or 725 I can’t remember what it said on there but all you gotta do is get a new inverter that is at least 4000 W And a pier sign wave and you will be able to run a lot more power than you do now
Seaflow pumps work well until the pressure switch invariably dies. Replacement of the switch is difficult or impossible. Find a way of externally switching it either by pressure or DC on/off switch. Sadly it's a problem they've had for years and have never rectified it adequately.
Great job, Joe! I need to hook my new pump up to my on demand hot water thingy for the off grid shower. I hope I don't need an accumulator tank for that! It hadn't ever crossed my mind, dang it!
You will need an accumulator. It will reduce how often the pump comes on, and eliminate the pulsing, Joe was talking about.
Looks like agreta system! i would imagine you could use mutiple ones On the same system if you add more water spigots.
Hi buddy.
You could make life easier for yourself by pre-assembling the unit with pipes and wires " before" having to crawl underneath the floor ?
Keep em coming !
hay its working,,,i would shut the juice off on it when leaving,,,i did that on my well pump all the time..just for safety...dam good job joe,,your giving me ideas...
If you don't what could happen? Mine stopped working suddenly and I'm trying to find out what happened. It was left on for a while.

Nice

I like this idea my camp is all plumped for a indoor hot water heater and pressure tank I’m sure I’m to late I need to continue with the regular pressure tank but would this run 2 sinks a shower and a washer not all at once one at a time
You got it all in the us, we try to take rain water here, we go to jail for stealing water companies water 😢
There are some places here in the us that is the same.
I wonder if the freezing temperature is going to be a problem in the dark of winter. Any insulation planned for that tubing or pump?
Can you use the seaflo and the accumulator with a tankless hot water heater?
Ad an expansion tank ,very cheap, that will fix everything, plumber here!;)
+J. N. That’s what the accumulator tank does.
...thank you for the informative demonstration...question, what happens during freezing temperatures? AIways nice to have running water :)
Guess we'll have to wait a few more months to get the answer about the freezing temps!
Thanks for the video, I've often wondered how I might figure this out on my cabin. Now do you add a tankless hot water heater to it to get hot water?
+@jackallen5240 Yes, I will be installing that this spring.
Getting old is no fun crawling under stuff Least you got a bit of room under there. not like working under a car loosening bolts upside down with no room. that. hurts when your over 50. heheh
I looked online for a pump and small tank but couldn't find anything that looked like your setup mounted on the black plastic board. All I find are components sold separately or a setup with the pump mounted on top of a 1-gallon accumulator tank. My plan is for a sink and a shower connect to my water barrels.
+Dan Reed I looked back. It says they are out of stock on this one. SeaFlo has one with a 2 gal tank on Amazon.
I put in a sea flo pump with 120 plug runs all the time should it not shut off at a certain amount of pressure build up ?
