We had an ozone treatment system to appease our guests but it has since quit because of a lightning strike, and I have no plans to repair it. I had a sediment filter into the tank but it kept getting blocked. I have since removed it and all I notice is fine sand on the bottom of the tank. I plan to redue the whole system next year, adding a solar powered pump, to lift the water into my storage tanks, thereby saving the CFI charges. I also think I will add additional storage to collect the rain water for use in my garden. Diverting the rain water will be fairly inexpensive other than the storage. I may put in a holding pond, just depends on how extensive I want to make to this project.Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-49906882577501243922008-11-06T08:34:00.000-06:002008-11-06T08:34:00.000-06:00cool.

Depending on where you are, there are cross feeds. In town water is erratic at times, some times during the year, it is available only 3 days a week. Most households do not use water in the way Americans have become use to, so a 250 liter tank will hold a family for several days. It would be prudent to use conservation and wise to provide your own storage. A household without water is not too comfortable. San Gregorio is on the way to Tacambaro about 10 km east of Opopeo, in the mountains.Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-28827768699698926142008-11-05T12:26:00.000-06:002008-11-05T12:26:00.000-06:00Is that town water?
