Very little rain.

I'll have to find out from RON what is supposed to go in there.<br /><br />Bkid, the water from the mine, TR and BBMI is all really lousy water (Unless BBMI has started filtering theirs. I will only buy water at the Cottonwood now because it is good clean city water. I hear it is RO. I buy drinking water separate anyway.<br /><br />Bigfoot, Wish you'll could have stayed longer.<br /><br /><br />Quixote, That tank is the second thing I've wone in my life as far as I can remember. The first one was a cheap pocket knife probably 40 or so years ago.<br /><br />The ranch HQ is only with in a couple of miles closer than Study Butte from here and the water there is really lousy to. Also I'd much rather drive down 118 than the ranch road. That was the first 4 inch PVC fittings I've bought in years.<br /><br /><br />Budweiserkid, The red stuff is actually iron oxide and calcite that settled out of the mine water. I always add a quarter cup of bleach to 275 gallons when I get it, but I think the water from the Cottonwood may already have some chlorine in it.<br /><br />tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-45349822246113273022013-03-20T12:42:03.207-05:002013-03-20T12:42:03.207-05:00The white tanks let the sun light in and causes al...The white tanks let the sun light in and causes all of that yuck, black tanks are better at keeping the sun out.

Is the...A free tank! You've got all the luck. <br /><br />Is the water at Terlingua Ranch HQ any closer? I think last time I was there they were selling the non-potable for .03/gallon. Might be better than driving down 118? <br /><br />Seems like the price of PVC has gone through the roof. I bought a bunch of pieces at bee mtn hardware for a project last summer and almost needed a loan.
