It has proven to be adequate for cottage usage. I never ran out of water, not even close. So now the question is what about the freeze up in a month or so. I am planning to drain the lines soon but keep water in the barrells for as long as possible. So far no real cold yet #. Rain water harvesting stats and experience canada.

Fill up the lines in the house, check. The 2005 rainwater harvest is underway. #. Thursday, May 12, 2005. 8:02 AM ) Mega. This is the result of last week's setup. Fresh clean rainwater being downloaded from the filter tanks into the cistern. Note the surf and sailboards and other assorted junk. Monday, May 02, 2005.

Had 500 litre's of rain water so I cleaned and hooked up the cistern and filled it with that water. Now It rained again last nite so I should be able to fill the cistern and start the pump and hopefully fill the hot water tank etc. So far so good. #. Wednesday, April 14, 2004. 11:11 AM ) Mega. Cleaned the roof and eaves and casks. Probably won't be able to check it till next week some time #.

Obviously here in canada for at least 6 months our water is frozen solid. The laws of physics dictate that it takes energy to liquify the stuff. Because I'm lazy. I didn't bother. Although I do have a rather cool device called a heat-line. That I highly recommend to any one with a frozen pipe problem. I have used this in the past and as the cool kids. It is da bomb!

So anyways I have a new problem, my brand new 1/2 hp monarch shallow well jet pump seems to be fucked. I think maybe it ran dry over night and well its fried. So in order to enjoy water this week end I had to buy another but now they are $400. I found out about a special cut off switch to prevent this. Why don't they sell that stock?

Monday, July 21, 2003. 10:19 AM ) Mega. OK so I designed and built the rainwater harvest system. This post details pressurizing the system. In the past I've taken water from a well built over a natural spring. The water was pure and plentiful but each spring and fall silt from the surrounding fields was gradually filling up this well and infecting the submersible pump I had installed 10 years ago. Then I wired the pump and let her rip! It worked great and the water is clean and free of sand. It rained la...

Lots of water. This whole thing is great. Because my neighbour bullied me into it I bought a huge plastic tank from him. I don't really need another cistern but perhaps I will use it to add capacity. I need to clean it though. Then place it downstairs. All the coo kids have em. Email if you want one.
