Going 700 Feet Into An Abandoned Mine For Water

I rappelled 700 feet down into the Union Mine to check on the water source here at Cerro Gordo!

Silly question, but how often do you test lead content?

[ThomWalbranA]

I believe you want to start with a larger pipe, add a pressure tank on the 300 level, change to a smaller pipe from 1st pressure tank to a 2nd larger pressure tank at the top, add a heated pump room, add 3 levels of filters with cut off/ bypass valves for service add a UV light for bacteria add a bib spot and down to town. I have a detailed diagram complete with a part list and instructions.

It would be amazing to live there!!! I am a rockhound, so you literally are living a life I have been manifesting for a while!!!!

[scottprather]

Definitely would get the water tested for heavy metals

[master]

I would build a ram pump to send water to the surface to a storage tank above the town to act as a water tower

Who saw the pool float in the reservoir 😂

[HoopinZilla]

Reckon the plastic floatable is best to have in the drinking water constantly?

[FartyMcNuggets]

You need a larger pump !!! That motor size is incredibly to small for that distance. Yeah, it will work but not without issues over time. You should use a different style pump to bring it up to a storage tank, then a 2nd pump for your actual supply.

You are crazy brave! I just checked, I am full of marshmallow filling.

THIS IS LIKE YOU ENTERED ANOTHER WORLD, I WISH I COULD SEE SUCH A THING IN MY LIFETIME OR BE THERE FOR JUST A DAY

[bengoldman]

Past the pump and down the shaft.. hahaha

[gordonmurray]

I'm curious about how this water is filtered and treated, to remove the heavy metals and toxic minerals that leach into it during transit through the mountain.

I'm imagining that federal authorities will be seeking assurances, before paying customers residing at guest facilities in the town may be exposed to contaminants from water extracted from the mine?

HURRICANE HILARY HEADING RIGHT FOR YOUR AREA

Whats the story of the led light cable.

[jasongates-]

I'm just glad that part of the mines never had collapse.

[jph]

I hope you’re ready for the record breaking rainfall that you’ve got coming!

[edgotbait]

Has that water been tested for lead ???
It has to have lead in it it’s a lead mine lol
So I can’t imagine it’s safe to drink

[waterbuffalosick]

Wait until the flag drops in the water and plugs the pump😂

Oh no! PLEASE don’t switch to this “Mr Beast” /OVERDONE YouTube hype format. You’ll cringe at it in 5-10 years. Just continue being YOU Brent.
