MICRO HYDRO SYSTEMS
These hydros are currently residing (resting) on our property. They have been collected over the past 20 years, usually when they were replaced with one of our newer models. Many others have come and gone over the years, but these very early models are still hanging around.

This was still running until a few years ago. The wheel is good, but the bushings are worn and need replacement. It also needs a new alternator.
