Has anyone installed a rain water harvesting system for their water fed system?
I have just had the downpipe routed into my IBC tank, and will also be routing the other downpipe from the car port into the tank too.
The water seems slightly cloudy, but the TDS reading is only 25 ppm ( I was expecting like 10 ppm but I remembered yesterday I power washed the tank with tap water and that's at 375ppm). I have tested it through the DI and it comes out clear in the cup. I can only assume the resin is not only de-ionising the water but the resin beads themselves are acting as a trap.
will this make my resin go off quicker with rainwater due to the high turbucility ? or is this negligible?
also any tips?
cheers
