Aquaria Installation Series, Part 1: Pre-Install Site Walkthrough in Georgetown, Texas

[00:02] Good morning, this is Orlando with

[00:03] Aquaria. Today we are out in Georgetown,

[00:05] Texas.

[00:06] We're trying to

[00:08] kind of get set up here and get ready

[00:09] for an installation. Pretty much

[00:12] plan to be here for a few days. So one

[00:14] of the things I wanted to start off with

[00:15] today is the clearance, right? So we're

[00:17] at this great property here in

[00:19] Georgetown, Texas. [music]

[00:21] And the installation actually is going

[00:23] to be in the very back of the property.

[00:25] And so in here you what you're seeing is

[00:27] the very front of the property.

[00:29] And what I want to point out here is the

[00:31] fact that you know we have to account

[00:32] for since this [clears throat] area in

[00:35] order for our truck deliveries to take

[00:37] place. Our machines are pretty large,

[00:39] you know, in [music] this installation

[00:41] specifically we're installing our two

[00:44] largest machines which two of the

[00:46] largest machines, I'm sorry, which is

[00:47] the Hydro Pack X and then the smaller

[00:49] machine in the greenhouse back here that

[00:52] you'll see in a minute.

[00:53] But I wanted again cover since the

[00:55] beginning, right? So we definitely want

[00:57] to account for things [music] such as

[00:58] like 18 to 22 22-foot box truck dropping

[01:02] off these machines.

[01:03] >> [music]

[01:03] >> Also the

[01:04] water tank storage if one is going to be

[01:08] part of the installation, they can you

[01:09] know vary in sizes. We want to account

[01:12] for you know tree [music] limbs and

[01:13] things like that. You know, just to make

[01:15] sure and also accessibility, you know,

[01:16] since the installation way in the back

[01:19] we want to make sure that we account for

[01:20] everything to make sure that again it's

[01:22] successful and that we don't damage

[01:24] anything for you know in the customer's

[01:25] property. All righty, so now that we're

[01:27] on the other side, [music] you know, we

[01:28] were just speaking to you on the main

[01:30] side of the property. This is a

[01:31] customer's additional entrance here. And

[01:33] obviously you can tell [music] big

[01:34] difference, right? We have plenty of

[01:36] space to get into the area that we're

[01:37] going to be working on.

[01:38] >> [music]

[01:39] >> And again this is a good you know good

[01:40] exercise or good something to good to

[01:42] look at in order for you know for

[01:43] [music] things to be in the clear since

[01:45] the beginning of the project. You know,

[01:47] we've we've came out here and scoped it

[01:49] out before, [music] you know, trying to

[01:50] make sure that everything was accessible

[01:51] while we were doing our walk-throughs

[01:53] with the customer.

[01:54] And so again I just want to kind of show

[01:56] you you know how it would look in a

[01:57] perfect scenario, you know, for us to

[01:59] kind [music] of be able to access the

[02:00] property

[02:01] uh without, you know, hassling the

[02:03] customer here or being in their way.

[02:05] >> [music]

[02:05] >> And of course, you know, again talking

[02:06] about the safety and and accessibility

[02:09] for our units and our water [music] tank

[02:10] storage and also for the installer uh to

[02:13] be able to bring in heavy machinery.

[02:14] [music] Uh to show you exactly, you

[02:16] know, it's still quite a way, but we

[02:18] made sure again the clearance with the

[02:19] trees, uh you know, structures. Um

[02:22] another thing you want to be conscious

[02:24] about is some folks [music] have septic

[02:26] tanks, gas lines, and additional water

[02:29] lines that may be damaged by trucks or

[02:31] anything like that. So again, we want to

[02:33] make sure that even you know, trees are

[02:35] one thing, [music] structures are

[02:36] another thing, and also we want to have

[02:38] those conversations with our customers

[02:40] or the homeowner [music]

[02:41] um in regards to any gas lines or

[02:43] anything else that may be, you know,

[02:44] something that we can damage on our way

[02:46] to the property.

[02:47] Um and right now, again, this is our

[02:50] desired location for the installation.

[02:52] Uh these guys back here are setting up

[02:54] the concrete Um and so at the end of the

[02:56] day, what you'll [music] have here is

[02:58] you'll have the

[02:59] in the very back, we're going to go

[03:00] ahead and install the water storage

[03:02] unit.

[03:03] And right along the side of right here

[03:05] um in this area that we'll get to here

[03:07] more details in here in a little bit,

[03:09] >> [music]

[03:09] >> we can uh we can see that you're

[03:11] starting to build a form away from from

[03:13] the structure of the building. Um and

[03:14] that's a good reason.

[03:16] Uh there's a reason for that. [music] We

[03:17] would definitely want to make sure that

[03:18] our machines uh maintain a good airflow

[03:21] uh throughout on both sides,

[03:22] specifically on these large [music]

[03:24] uh Hydro Pack X, they have a filter on

[03:27] both sides of the machine. So in this

[03:28] case, this structure [music] makes a

[03:29] little bit of a difference cuz it's a

[03:31] very see-through type of flowy situation

[03:33] here.

[03:34] Uh but if it was more of a concrete wall

[03:36] or something more solid, [music]

[03:38] I could be a little bit more concerned

[03:39] of the of, you know, regarding the

[03:41] airflow, but if it again, in this case

[03:42] it's, you know, it kind of helps us out

[03:44] that we're working with the greenhouse

[03:45] here and everything just kind of flows

[03:46] with what we're doing. We're inside of

[03:48] the greenhouse right now. We're walking

[03:49] through to the electrical uh process of

[03:52] it and then show you how our water our

[03:54] electrical lines are going to be running

[03:55] to

[03:56] uh from the actual main panel. So, now

[03:59] that we're here inside of the

[04:00] greenhouse, uh again, I just want to

[04:01] show you the electrical intent, and what

[04:04] we we would do in these kind of cases,

[04:06] especially we're dealing with concrete,

[04:08] you know, plastic uh kind of wall that

[04:10] we can't really get out through, or

[04:12] it'll affect the actual greenhouse here.

[04:15] So, again, we just want to show you the

[04:16] electrical pump panel starts here.

[04:19] You know, we have our intention here to

[04:20] connect our

[04:22] uh

[04:23] >> [music]

[04:23] >> our Hydro Pack X takes a 150 amp

[04:26] breaker, double pole, so that should be

[04:28] two of these. So, we're we're expecting

[04:31] one machine to take two units here. The

[04:33] next one that'll be two two big uh units

[04:36] going in, so we're going to take these

[04:37] two slots for one, these two two slots

[04:40] for the next,

[04:41] then these two slots that are going to

[04:43] be for the next 20 amp double pole

[04:44] breaker just for our internal or smaller

[04:47] machine,

[04:48] >> [music]

[04:48] >> our Hydro Pack S. And then we'll have

[04:50] one more uh that's going to be utilized

[04:52] for an actual plug that's outside in

[04:55] order [music] for us to, you know, be

[04:56] able to pump the water back into the

[04:57] home. I wanted to point out that our

[05:00] lines are going to be very similar to

[05:02] this, [music] and we have three lines

[05:04] that are going to be coming in here.

[05:06] So, we have three lines that again that

[05:07] are going to go up through [music] the

[05:08] ceiling racks, and then go all the way

[05:10] to the back.

[05:11] And then we'll we'll either zip tie them

[05:13] [music] like you see already here, or I

[05:15] in a very nice structured line, you

[05:17] know, we're very huge on aesthetics,

[05:18] [music] and you know, just make sure

[05:20] making sure that everything looks good.

[05:22] So, we'll do some of the same process

[05:24] three times, and we'll show you what it

[05:25] looks like. [music] Again, right now, we

[05:26] haven't started that, but we'll show you

[05:28] once it's done how everything got

[05:30] wrapped up, and how we managed to get

[05:31] outside and to get our power, and then

[05:34] we'll definitely be able to access the

[05:36] >> [music]

[05:36] >> anything electrical outside instead of

[05:38] having to come all the way in here. Um

[05:40] you know, so again, the the idea is for

[05:42] us to get outside, uh

[05:44] >> [music]

[05:44] >> bringing in all the power that's needed.

[05:46] Uh we could have we could have created a

[05:48] sub panel outside but that would have

[05:50] been a little too heavy on the structure

[05:51] here

[05:52] in order for us to run a thicker wire

[05:54] [music] because again we would have to

[05:55] create another one outside.

[05:57] So in this case we just chose to run an

[05:59] each individual [music] line all the way

[06:00] this way

[06:01] just for keeping the structure safe as

[06:03] it is. And so one of the biggest things

[06:06] in this project is you know it's a it's

[06:07] a large amount of concrete here. We're

[06:09] looking at about a 50 ft by 120 [music]

[06:12] ft building. And the reason for that is

[06:15] like in this in this case particularly

[06:17] they're looking to [music] maintain

[06:20] their humidity levels and all that stuff

[06:22] based on what they do here. But for us

[06:24] as far as the installation [music]

[06:25] process we also want to you know we

[06:27] could have

[06:28] torn through the concrete and created

[06:30] [music] a new slab or created a new

[06:32] pathway for our electrical process

[06:34] >> [music]

[06:35] >> or trenching any kind of trenching

[06:36] whether it was here outside. But again

[06:38] we always want to take some somewhat

[06:40] path [music] of least resistance when it

[06:42] comes to

[06:43] dealing with

[06:45] already existing structures or things

[06:46] that we may damage if if the customer

[06:48] you know has a future intent for the

[06:50] structure. So we want to ask all those

[06:52] questions before we start going and

[06:54] obviously [music] pick the right process

[06:56] understanding you know the customer's

[06:58] situation where they're trying to do in

[07:00] their desired location.

[07:02] But again [music] it's it's it's a part

[07:04] of the process that we should be

[07:05] clarifying these questions just to make

[07:07] sure that we're on the right process

[07:09] [music] with the customer.
