    One overnight rainfall? Full.

    And if we didn't do that, it all just drains into the back 40 and makes it a swamp. So you'd be surprised. Also, rainwater is essentially purified already
    You haven't met my daughter.

    but would you drink water that's been sitting in your tank for a week?

    Greydog is 86. His daughter is probably in her late fifties. Not that I'm judging . . .

    That tank specifically? No. But if I set it up properly, yea I'd have no problem with it And I'm not talking anything fancy, mainly just dividing the tank into a "dirty" settling side and a "clean" drinking side. Have the tank de-germified once per year. Maybe throw a tad of chlorine in every once in a while. Ya, I'd totally drink that.

    My point was that you can collect a LOT of water in not much area. That's all. Would be great for greywater use.

    If gas was sold in 500ml bottles, and advertised like H20, it would be $20 a litre.

    Yah well haha, I feel better about it. Whole IN = OUT for water on the bill is annoying as hell when you water the lawn.

    And no, there was no build thread, I posted it under some "post what you have done this weekend" threads I think under Home and Garden. Here are some pics when I first build my 4 barrel version back in the day, it's the bigger version of this underneath as I moved everything to the side of the garage to make room for a bigger deck.

    It really is a rental fee, then you have to pay again to ship it out (sewage).
