Grundfos SQF-3 Pumps
10 101 SQFlex Control Boxes
and the CU 200 SQFlex
Control Boxes
will be featured in the segments on Water and Wells
for their ability to be powered directly
from Photovoltaic Panels
with a back up of generator power when needed.

Demonstrations of set up will be occurring for
a 500 foot deep well which is located at a
saddle point on a forty acre mountain top
location where the series is being filmed.

Water will be lifted an additional 500 foot of
rise via multiple water tanks and pumping
stations to a holding tank which will be
designed into the roof gardens of the 2
bedroom, 2 bath home, currently in design
phases, to allow on call, gravity feed water to
the home, garden, and outstructures on the
lands.

From the Ground Up
now has its own website at
http://TLS-FromtheGroundUp.blogspot.com

Information on the series will be posted here as well as at the master
Broadcast Website for
Tamara Lynn Scott
at

Grundfos Pumps were chosen because they
can be driven on
direct hook up to Solar Panels,
as well as being able to be powered through
a generator as a back up.

Segments demonstrating the installation of the
pump and control boxes are currently in
pre-production planning.

Timbron International
is entering the series,
From the Ground Up
with their environmentally friendly
moldings.

Timbron is composed of 75% post consumer plastics,
and 15% pre-consumer plastics,
mainly polystyrene, a popular shipping
material that is nondegradable,
providing a sustainable closed loop
manufacturing system, and a durable,
long-lasting waterproof, mold and mildew
resistant, termite and insect proof molding
which is great for high moisture areas, such
as laundry, bath, kitchen, porches, and
entry.

Timbron moldings can also be recycled at the end
of their useful life and have a low (practically
negligent) VOC content. Not only is Timbron a
great environmental product, it is also durable,
waterproof, mold and mildew resistant, and
termite proof (eliminating the need for toxic
pesticides). You can cut, nail, glue, sand, and
paint Timbron – Just like wood.
