Dump Site Operations #22 - LDH in Lieu of Suction Hose
By President Mark Davis
January 7, 2021
During our 2015 Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar in Kendall County, Texas we had the opportunity to see some 5-inch LDH being used with a TFT low level strainer in a jet siphon water transfer configuration. Our friends from the Bastrop FD showed folks how to make it work and it seemed to work just fine. Granted, it was 5-inch hose so the flow was probably less than a 6-inch hard suction hose, but it still worked pretty well and if we were faced with a shortage of suction, this set-up would make a difference. Now we just need someone to conduct some flow test work on the set-up.
