“These are the times that try men's souls.” | The best that have been here 30+ years are the Woodford Model Y34. I have some Ritchie hydrants, but I bought them 20 years ago. We bought some cheaper junk from Hardware store that failed the first year. The drains weren't big enough, and they would freeze up. If I had to vote it would be the Woodfords.
I've been getting a real good PVC tape from my pump supplier that is green. We wrap all galv. pipe fittings down well casings. Really saves them, that tape you can't tear it. You have to cut it with a knife. Our water is soo hard here, you can't plumb a 90 degree fitting can only use a 45 degree. LOL It's a no brainer why everyone used to drink a lot of beer here, you couldn't drink some of the water! |
For you Northeners that deal with cold. Who makes the best water hydrant?
