Monday, October 27, 2003 ( 8:27 AM ) Mega So now after a summer of rainwater harvesting. Which by the way worked out great, we are headed for freeze up. I disconnected one barrell all together and cleaned it. It was a settling tank under an eave. It was not to dirty I will let it dry then clean it with soap and water for spring. The other settling tank I kept on line and its full. I disconnected the water lines and the flush valve worked sealing the water in. I'm curious when it will freeze solid. And if it would split if left to freeze. The lines are drained and there fore will not freeze and crack. I have the heat on in the house so the cistern which is full at 600 litres should provide for enough water till at least xmas which is when I stop using the place till Apr. So we shall see. # Tuesday, October 07, 2003 ( 8:48 AM ) Mega Well Fall is truely here and the system has served me well all summer. 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 # |
