Hydroelectric Turbine and Highlifter Pump Pictures

We are still connected this morning and decided to download pictures before we disconnected and packed up the computers.

Here are some pictures of the hydroelectric turbine and highlifter pump in action. In the first pictures, Dane is checking the pressure gauge on the inlet pump.



The turbine is inside the white part below the blue motor which generates 380 volt, 3-phase electricity. The highlifter pump is the long skinny thing with the white hose attached to it on the right.






This picture shows water entering the 1000 liter tank here at the house. It used to take 2-3 days for us to use all the water in the tank for our daily use and the highlifter fills it completely in about 15 hours. With the continuous water being pumped up now, the tank is almost always full.
