I actually don't. I thought I'd have to squeeze some rubber washers on each side but the hole I cut fits the pvc pipe perfectly tight and there are no leaks.
Please reconsider using this due to the possibility of chemicals from the tire leaching into the water, especially when exposed to heat and sunlight 😬 Exposed steel wire used in the tires construction if ingested, can lead to the potentially fatal hardware disease. The wire can also cut or poke the cattle.
People have done this for decades successfully. Most of the stuff that comes off the surface of the rubber leaves film on water happens shortly after install. After u dump it few times that goes away. Imagine a person drinking from a plastic cup at home or restaraunt. Same thing.
Really curious to see how this works this winter. I like having a drain but can easily be pumped if really needed. Looks awesome
Just curious why did you dig 10 ft down is that so he will rise up the chamber and heat the water
How do you seal around the water lines where they come through the culvert? Thank you

How well did it work on Dec 22?
Lol pretty good. It got about 3" of ice on it with that cold snap but the floats never froze up or anything.
What brand of float is that?
Jobe
