Did this a couple weeks ago, bladder exploded. Don't buy Lowes/Cobalt bladders. Home Depot one didn't explode, but it also doesn't clear the drain. You can't even get five minutes before it's backing up into the sink. So no, these bladders do not work. Save the $20. Not that the auger is any better; I got an electric auger and it's useless garbage. Granted, it's a Cobalt, and thus Lowes and a waste of money; a real one probably would work better.

Great video. Explanations were simple and to the point.

would you have one of those truss brackets for the icf left over, I would like to buy it from you .

Subbed. I'm looking forward to learning more from your channel. Great videography as well.

Me too wow lol

I'm going to put my "uh, akshully" hat on and mention that a ground-source heat-pump is not _technically_ geothermal, because the heat is actually coming from the sun, just very very slowly. A "technically correct" geothermal system has to gather it's heat from the heat of earth's core. It's a completely irrelevant and pedantic thing to bring up, but _I_ thought it was interesting!

Heat rises how do you loose 1/3 of the heat throught a basement? Walls i understand but are there any numbers on slab or under slab heat loss. Really trying to figure out if the expense is worth it. Hoping to build next year thanks!

My wife and I so enjoyed watching this video, I built my Shop with a chicken Coup out of Texas. Very similar numbers and details. I am geothermal Air Conditioning mine. Mine is 40 x 40. Shop first then Barn 3000 sf Then House underway. materials in barn so I can still repair or fab.

LOLOL! Keep your home in the 40's?

Yer clock ain't werkin. Give er a lil tappy tap tap.

I want to develop MEMS based ultrasonic vision under ground (one sledge above also) for steered drilling and perhaps robotic creation of the pipes from fibre concrete. Forst stage would be to drag in the pipes and use 2 trenches for the parallelising thicker pipes. Has anyone experience in such a micro tunnel drilling system automatically sweating out the concrete pipe? I think it is time for multiple use of environmental energy, and pf course we have to work with low anti-freeze % so it stays at low viscosity and high c of water near 4J/gK. I diy excavate for some 700m copper pipe (10 parallel circuits), for direct cooling fluid heat pump having 1:5 throughout the year for heating and 1:3 for shower water (U of outer walls is 0.3, so not too good, need about 32 °C for -10 °C outsides ca., so also not too good. But machine is cool, but today, way too expensive. Regarding politlcs today, I would rather replace by wood heating using chopped pieces, and perhaps some bio gas.

You can also use a cheap steel frame pool and insulate it. You can get a cheap 30m³ seasonal storage, top use multi-layer insulation foil, sides cheapest would be 1.5m straw, and underneath is a problem, the most expensive part: best we have to DIY hollow micro glass spherse. For the insulation that is compression-resisting the weight of say 1.2 m head of water. Foam glass is also nice, or old underground wall insulation thick enough. The advantage is you can store up to 100 °C if the foil of the pool can cope with that. So you could drive a sterling or similar, and will not have to use your heat pump a long way. So directly mixing the temp down to heating temp. This implies you have to use a lot solar thermal collectors eg diy by concentrated solar light.

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I tried to use it to unclog >50 year old cast iron pipe and I could not get it to seal to the pipe walls, so it simply pushed water back up to the cleanout. Any tricks for getting this to seal better in the future? In hindsight I should have tried turning up the pressure at the regulator, that may have caused it to expand more and seal with higher pressure

I used a large bladder in my 4" main line. After turning the water off, the bladder got stuck when i tried pulling it back out. I figured out how to twist the hose clockwise so it wouldnt unscrew the bladder and that freed the bladder to retrieve it.

I wonder if you are recording from a tornado cellar? 🧐

Don't blame the tenant for that s ..Blame yourself for not having your home sealed properly AND they travel through neighborhoods through the plumbing...genius Typical slum lord title

Nice job explaining thanks I think I will never install one of those I live in a city.

Been using the DILDO method for many years! WorksGood

when you were talking about the hypothetical farmhouse, what did you mean by the ground could become saturated? thanks for both your videos on this system and congratulations- you did a lot of work!

i use mine to inflate bike tires to 90psi and it turns off after the first tire and then stays off for like an hour before working again. it isnt hot anywhere on thr device or dewalt battery. does anyone else have this issue?

And check out sand generator, way better heat sink then hair the ground

Cheap, only if you own your own excavator.. not exactly cheap is it?

Can I use this in my bath tub? I only have a clogged pipe in line with my bathrub

Thank you so much for your insightful videos! I live in Salina and hope to build an ICF home in the next three years. I hope I can reach out to you for advice and counseling.

Very nice information

I'm disappointed. I expected cost saving tips as the headline stated. It's good info but not cost savings

This was so informative! Thank you so much! My wife and I are going to build a home on a mountain slope north of Waynesville NC. The property has a spring-fed pond on it. I don't know the depth, but I don't believe it freezes. I learned from you that I can run my coils out to the bottom of the pond which is probably about 60 deg F year round. Obviously my tubing will have to be something non-corrosive ... aluminum? Anyway, GREAT video and GREAT info!

Worked like a charm thanks for making my day!

Heat pumps are garbage.

Good bet on burying deep, good insurance for not accidentally hitting a line if it's 10' down.

will this work if it has tress roots in it, a few with a size of a finger and then some small roots? thanks

Saw one video I can’t stop watching

I have wanted to build such a system but I live on granite and the temperature on the BC coast can go pretty low at times. We keep our above ground water line on a slow feed during the coldest weather. There is no clay anywhere. Impossible?

Biggest con of ICF is it blocks the concrete of your wall to work as thermal mass.

19 ½ minutes of video - of which 95% is this guy's face & voice. Very little actual demo of "Geothermal System" !

What size rims fit this rotor please great video

With all the major steps towards super insulated houses I don’t see a future for harvesting and distribution of heat with fluids. The btu demands of houses will go down so much that ROI of heat pump vs electrical heater will have the electrical heater as the winner. Yes people will scream: “but the heat pump is 5x more efficient” very very true, but money wise… count the totals for 20 yrs. Installation cost, maintenance cost, replacement cost and usage cost. TLDR; spend 95% of your budget on insulation, and the remaing 5% on the heat supply. The more you spend on insulation the less expensive the heat supply gets, even to the point where small electrical wall mounted heaters will be enough.

This was an informative lesson, thanks. Dry subject, but you did very well to cover lots of points, without being boring. Thank you, peace!

Love the content. The prolonged eye contact without blinking tho….. 🤷‍♂️

Just get a drain snake, whether hand crank or electric. Pay once, cry once. So long as there's washouts in the line, a 15 to 20ft. hand crank drain snake is all you need. Depending on where you buy it from, its around the same price as the bladder..

You can get an uon exchange resin filter or rent one from a water treatment company that will be cheaper probably

:( i was scared it was going to burst my thumb out -.- sadly i wasnt able to unclog

What a nice morning there. Engine sounds excellent. well done

If you have blockage on sewer line after cleanout, then you don't even need bladder. Just stick the garden hose as far as it can go towards the septic tank and turn on the water full blast. Jiggle the hose back and forth to knock the blockage and it will often clear the blockage.

Perfect. Saved me today. 😊

You have to use an egg stopper first to prevent them from reproduction

My 4 inch sewer line was backed up between the cleanout in my yard and the street. I tried the drain king 3 times for about 10-15 minutes and it was still clogged. A few days later I tried it one last time but this time I forgot that I was using it and it ran for about 2 1/2 hours. After I pulled the hose out it made a big burp in the cleanout and the backed up water dissappeared.

i dont wanna spray outside for the lizards. they dont cause a problem and theyre cute

I wont watch this video. I hit play & scroll my screen so the video isnt showing but I can hear it. .... I D9ONT keep a clean house, Sugar on countertops, sometimes feed my dog on the carpet. sometimes leave crumbs on my computer desk, stick coffee spills etc. Years with no roaches, now 2 within 2 weeks. They both Died.
