General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: water lines submerged
« on: December 12, 2011, 12:32:29 PM »
So here is my update. The 150 section (purchased from Earth) to the house in DRY.
I scoped it with a flexible fiberoptic scope and it truly is dry.
The 60 foot section to the workshop is flooded! I am going to pull this up and encase it in 6 inchs schedule 40 PVC!
In hind sight......i should have put the entire line in 6 inch PVC.
Please heed my error ...its so true that you should strive to be at the frost line (18 inches) and OUT OF WATER........... than buried 5-6 feet deep and bathing in water!
Why does everyone think that deeper is better?
I do not know!

Good morning---
Installing an Earth 505 OWF in southern Ohio. The stove is 150 feet from the house. This past weekend I trenched (4 feet) the path for the insulated water lines. However, the trench partially filled with 12 inches of water (water table is high in 2/3 of the trench).
My question---- proceed with burying the lines? NOTE: the lines are insulated and within a black flex pipe......however, if even a tiny hole exists in the protective flex pipe......this will allow the flexpipe to flood with water and "bathe" the OWF hot water lines! Please help!
