Tank still holding.

Well as I only seem to be able to put in about 2 hours at the weekend when my daughter sleeps, I am hoping to really get a move on now that we have lighter nights.

I have got the pump plummed in along with a water metre. I now need to work on putting it into the roof space of my house. I will put some more photos up soon as I can.

My tank is still holding the water also. We have not had any more rain lately so still about 200 litres full.

Leaking Tank

Well I could not believe it.  It rained the other day and I filled my tank up in 1 day.

The Next Day it was Empty again!!!

I has been leaking from the float switch.   I have had to redesign how it is connected to the tank completely.  With the help of my local plumbing shop, I have used a waste pipe joint to fit to the tank and then fitted the float switch to that.

It was a real pain getting it connected to the tank but will allow easy servicing on the float switch if required.

As you can see from the pictures the switch is recessed with in the waste pipe joint.

It Rained last night and I have collected about 200 liters of water.  So far no leak!!!!

We shall see when the tank fills up a bit more with some more pressure what will happen.
