Another Leak!


There was a leak where the float valve went into the tank and it has made some of the artex fall off the ceiling.   Wife is not happy.    Another job to do.   It is not too bad and I think that I should be able to repair it.



I have added an extra filter going into the main tank.   I used a plastic container with some filter media in it.  Not sure if it is going to work but did not cost me anything as it was just going in the bin.




I have got a manual timer that just runs during the day.  Will see how this works out.   Still lots more to do.


Rain water is flowing in more ways than one!



Well what a weekend.   I have now connected up 3 toilets and they are using rain water.  I have had lots of problems to over come.  Had some real problems with the relay the I got from ebay and after 2 failed ones arriving I decided to get one from maplins.   It is working well.

As you can see I have already used 300 liters of water.







I added in a small hose pipe as the water was gushing out quite a bit and making the relay switch the pump on an off again.   It is just pushed in so I am not sure how long it will last.
