Compost Tea Brewer

large regenerative blower motor and 2 inhc air pipe goes to a 250 gallon tote. The tote get's rain water that is collected from the roof into another 250 tote hooked to "down spouts" on the pole barn. Rain water is then transfered to the indoor "tea brewing" tote as needed. Some times only 100 gallons is needed other times the full 250 gallons is needed for brewing large batches of worm casting tea or compost tea. The tea is transferred VIA truck or trailer to larger containers such as a local farm then from there they spray beans corn or orchards maybe even spray in the fall on the tilled in soil as a soil drench to add microbes to the organics in the soil.

Looks like a Siemens regenerative blower (also know as a Ring vacuum pump). The Italian knitting machine company called MecMor used the same one for many years. They are very well built blowers.

I wonder how high you can push water if you use that blower in an air lift pump :)

[NOSMOJEFF]

@FenderGibsonWashburn High...very high :) it would be neat to see but I bet it would take me about 20 feet of 2" pipe or more..this thing is really industry quality

@akajondoe1 ..understand after 5 years and using a microscope along with a digital camera recording the analysis finding high numbers of various beneficial microbiological activity I am aware of what is not enough and what is torrent. This same system cost $4 to $5K and gets high marks. I am using the same methods as those out there and they are world wide. It works trust me ;)

there is a thing as too much thrashing of the water. Your Compost tea is full of living organisms that can be killed by too much volatility.
