Hi, I'm not self sufficient but am trying my best. I have 3 x 400gallon tanks fed by rainwater which is then pumped to a loft tank on demand, from here it is pump fed to my toilet, washing machine, dish-washer and shower. I am trying to build a constant heat greenhouse to use with hydroponics.

Sounds like a good set up you have there for your water, did you put it in yourself?

Many thanks for the welcome - I have a 1966 mk1 cortina gt which I am renovating.
Yes I put the water system in myself, if anybody's interested I'll tell exactly how I did it

Definetly, if you put it in the green building section I know of quite a few people who will be interested - myself included.

Hi Cortina, Welcome from downunder. I too will be interested in that water system.
