Monday, August 18, 2003 ( 11:28 AM ) Mega A simple roof washer that is working for me. materials: 1 20 litre plastic water jug availble from grocery store 1 ft long section of 2 inch abs drain pipe 1 2 inch T fitting of 2 inch ABS drain pipe 1 small piece 2 inches long of 1 1/2 inch ABS pipe Take the water jug and use a circelar drill to drill a hole in the bttom 2 inch diameter. Then insert the length of ABS pipe (2inch) seal around the hole Then take the small piece of 1/2 inch pipe and seal the top of it with plastic or foam then drop it into the larger diameter pipe. place the T fitting on top of the 2 inch pipe that sticks out of the jug. drill some small holes into the lid of the jug to act as a slow drain when the washer is filled up. Voila attach to system the water enters the jug through the t fills the jug lifting the small piece inside the pipe till the jug is full of the first 20 ltres of dirty water then the t closes and the remaining water flows to the cistern. when the rain stops is slowly drains out of the jug the valves slides back down and is ready for the next storm cheap and easy
