    Wish you luck on that we put one in and it lasted about six years it kept pump coco fibers in to the mound cause the never put in the 18 inches of crush stone just below the coco fibers so it allowed it to pass the coco fibers to the mound and plugged up the pipes in the mound four times we found this out when I got mad and ripped out the eco Flo and I put in a adventk tank

    Four inch pipe will be more than adequate. So would three. Check the 0.25 multiple you used to find fall in pipe lengths, to my eye the slope is steeper than 1/4 inch in a foot. Good luck.

    I don't know why the algorithm made me watch this but I also wondered if you'll want cleanouts maybe via sanitary tees just before turns after long runs.. Also wondering if the main should b bigger to carry the expected volume of water in a heavy downpour.

    • @freetotryit
      @freetotryit 27 днів тому

      Great questions. I figured the upright sections could be used for clean outs by removing the downspout if needed. Also I talked to a gutter guy and he thought with the size roof I have that the 4” would be enough.

    @jynnandtonnyx 28 днів тому

    Math is solid. My only thought is that it is a long distance with a lot of turns I would hate to try and have to clean it out to remove a blockage. It will be leaves, sand from roof tiles, etc. that won’t flow too nice with a slow gravity fed system. Couldn’t tell where you are draining too. Just worried you will have to dig up all the nice work 15 years from now.

    • @freetotryit

    Hi there. Thanks for providing this video. I finally found a video on exactly what I am about to do. My lean to is going to be 40' long by x' long. That X is where you might be able to help. I am in NH so I also get snow like you. I would like to get as much span as I can. You mentioned you are using 2x10x20's. My question is are you seeing any sag? My local Lumber yard is telling me that even if I do a 2x12,x20, I am exceeding span. Also wondering about the span between posts on the outside. I know you mentioned you used LVL's for the beam and I see 4 posts, I am guessing they are pretty close to 16' between each post. You posted this over 2 years ago, so I would really like to hear how it is doing before I build what is virtually the same thing. Thanks again for posting.
