Water has returned to the mountain top with the help of Dan Wilson, shown here at the water's first run up into a Dimension One Arena Spa being featured in the series.
A Grundfos pump pushed the water up a 500 foot deep well, and with the help of a generator, successfully pushed water up another 200 feet of rise to the mountain top.
Dan Wilson laid in a patchwork of 1 inch PVC pipe which was tied into the previously existing buried pipeline to bring the water to the tub.
Stay tuned as the water will soon be circulating through solar heated hot water panels in a passive closed loop system that will allow the natural heat of the water to lift it into the tub, a system which requires no pumps.
