Running on the tank again.


I have started on lagging the pipe work going from the garage into the loft now.





The last picture shows the new float switch and it is much better quality than the last one. For a start the magnet is not exposed and so will not rust. Also the switch has a better connection allowing for a tight fit. I have been monitoring for 1 week and finally no leaks.





Next up is to finish the lagging and boxing in the outside tank.

Redesign of tank float connector.

Due to my leak I have been spending some time redesigning my float connector connections. It has been far too hot to go in the loft space lately so I am waiting for it to cool down. I have got some new connectors to use which sould solve the leak problem I am hoping.

The filter that I made from an old drinks container seems to be working well. We have had much rain lately and my tank is full again.
