Friday, May 21, 2004 ( 8:21 AM ) Mega Pouring rain up there last nite. cleaned the eaves & spouts as they got full of debris and were clogged lots of rain in the forecast this whole thing is working like a charm for the most part general maintence is needed on a system like this keeping down spouts clear ensuring overflows are functioning properly chlorination of cistern # Monday, May 17, 2004 ( 8:43 AM ) Mega Had the whole gang up at the lake this weekend 3 kids 2 adults. we had enough rain over the past week to have filled up the cistern we used maybe 1/5 of the cisterns capacity so it seems to be a great alternative to drilling a well for us. water quality is good the only hitch is I keep have to remind everyone to make sure no driping facets and not to let taps run. these are things someone from say... water challenged southern california would never do anyways but up here in water plentifull Canada our wastefull habits are hard to break # Monday, May 10, 2004 ( 8:10 AM ) Mega well the rain came. my main cistern filled and I though I had a leak but I've discovered that when you first fill a water system like this you get some small leaks that soon stop. mostly from the joints. so after initially being pissed and thinking i will have to replace the cistern. It stopped leaking Its raining today and i think I left one of the shut off valve open. fuck! # |
