Catchment Issues

[Mitzi M]

Thanks Les! I'll check out the Waterworks clarifier. I do have a UV filter, but I can't use it much on the solar I've got without generator backup. A solar option would be nice...My last catchment experience was an underground concrete cistern I built in a much colder climate. I used muriatic acid just to bring down the PH to water plants. I never used it for drinking water, but the neighbors did use theirs on a filter. I cleaned the cistern out myself about once a year in the summer (Not completely awful, but definitely a little too "pet cemetery" for drinking!)Thanks for the info!
Aloha,
Mitzi
