Lilo Stitch

This can supply as many people as needed. Just expand the system. Store water carefully, cleanly, non-contimated for non-sunny days. If one opens the transparent material to recharge the trench with wet stuff, ONE MUST keep the inner surface as clean as possible. Re: What Should I Do?: The Basics of Resilience Part 2 Question Will a Doulton filter system purify and remove the salt content from sea water? I hope this isnt too far out of context this is not about drinking water, but I Lilo Stitch done extensive experimentation with grey water systems or to be more precise, re-capturing relatively clean water bath water for re-use flushing the toilet. I find that this is a much larger and more consistent supply than rainwater, but some of my trials were more successful than others. I have yet to find a single soul out there doing this, so I would appreciate it if anyone else has been doing this too could get in touch with me so that we could compare notes or we could start a branch thread separate from here if there is enough interest. Re: What Should I Do?: The Basics of Resilience Part 2 Can I filter sea salt water through my Berkey system? No. The concentration of salt in sea water will more than likely ruin the elements fairly quickly. I have a water softener installed in our house, can I filter that water through my Berkey? Some people do, but we do not recommend it. It is best if you put water in your Berkey that has not gone through your water softener the excess salt will likely shorten the life of the elements. Re: What Should I Do?: The Basics of Resilience Part 2 The water bob works great as a way to store up to 100G of water, provided that you you have a spare bath tub in your house and you have some advanced warning to fill it. A place to consolidate previous posts, explore future scenarios, and share preparation plans for the hard times to come. composting Lilo Stitch are prefered as a long-term solution, IMO, since flushing toilets not only wastes water, but also wastes a resource, compost. Plenty of info out there already on safely composting human waste, so no need to go over it. If youre interested in converting a pre-existing system, its a lot of work! You need to be able to capture the grey water in a tank, where it needs to be circulated and treated. No way around this, grey water stored even for a few days gets RANK as the bacteria Lilo Stitch to multiple. Rough filteration and UV/bleach sterilizing works, but now youre talking about extra maintenance, power, etc. It can be done, though. My system Im currently working on uses harvested rainwater, my grey water is used to water shade trees via underground perforated pipe. My goals were low-maintenance, safe, and water frugal. The shade trees are decidious, and placed to reduce my substantial cooling costs during the summer. After doing the research and a few experiments, I came to the conclusion that re-using grey water for toilets was not efficient for my situation. For storage of water, i personally am leaning toward bins rather than totes. You can harvest rainwater in these at about 330 gallons each and then purify using your chosen system. Rainwater is usually very clean, mine tested the same as my RO faucet at 10 ppm dissolved solids. You can add a little chlorine to the tank to keep growth in check til you use it. Bleach is cheap and effective! Re: What Should I Do?: The Basics of Resilience Part 2 These can be made with local materials and are used as a way to make drinking water out of scummy ditch water in third world countries. The process is simple. You use a 5 10 gallon container made from plastic, concrete, or another material. Place layers of sand and gravel into it starting with the course material and finishing with the fine material, add some simple plumbing and tada it is ready for use.
