How high does a 300 gallon water storage container need to be, in order to get pretty good water presure? Is there a mathmatical equation for this? I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance ! |

The formula is .434 PSI per foot of elevation

Now your getting into friction loss of Gallons per minute through the diameter of the pipe. In your case I would run 1.5(inch and a half) schedule 40 PVC down from the tank and then down size that to your needed diameter going into your trailer

Oh, I forgot....you have to have pressure calculations to pass your tests.... I still am impressed though. |

Yes you can figure 1/2 psi per foot.
I have 300 gal tanks for sale for $75.00
Bobby How meny pounds is 300 gal.
is it 6.2 lb per gal. or is it 8.? lb per gal.

Dude 8.34 pounds! 300 gallon tank weighs 2502 pounds  plus the weight of the container. Ya better know what your doing  to build a water tower out there! It could get pretty ugly if something went wrong

One gallon (in volume) is equivalent to 3,785 cubic centimeters (i.e.
3,785 cm^3). If the density of water is assumed to be exactly 1.0
g/cm^3, then the mass of one gallon of water would be 3,785 g (from
3,785 cm^3 x 1.0 g/cm^3 = 3,785 g). And 3,785 g of water is equivalent
to 8.346 lb. near the earth's surface because a 1,000 g mass near the
earth's surface would weigh about 2.205 lb. However, the density of
water varies somewhat with temperature and pressure, so the exact
weight of a gallon of water might vary a little from the number I have
given here because I have assumed that the water density is exactly
1.0 g/cm^3 and this is an approximation. |

Damn budley how do I increase the span of my cable ride yet increase the velocity a child is propelled down .Letting them come to a stop on the other end without being catapulted into the side of the camper.I need to get this speed-length-velocity issue figured out so the maximum G-force exerted on my child remains low enough so they dont suffer from blunt head trauma.
LOL JK!
I did put one in the camp for the kids though...
