With the money I got donated from the U.S. we will purchase and install our new gasoline powered pump soon. I need the final member of our financial committee, Pete Kaburick's approval. I may be able to reach him by phone sooner. We need to gat with Dr. Paco and make sure the dogs are secure so we can dig the line into the pool.
We will be going to 3 inch line instead of the 2 inch that we now have. Three inch is a little more expensive, but it has 5 times less resistance to water flow and we can use one T instead of 2 Y's at every hydrant, saving a little money and a lot of time. This will dramatically increase our water flow and should enable us to flow 4-8 nozzles where the three inch is.
The prototype sprinkler will be constructed this week and tested. This is a very inexpensive and efficient way to suppress fire from spreading.
