I'm curious to know how you went about setting up the recycled rain water. Sounds like a great idea. And how you likeing the ONR so far?

Hi Simon

ONR is pretty good and something I am trying to use more - as a 2BM wash, no pre-wash or rinse Still experimenting to find my preferred wash media for it though....

I 'accidentally' created my water solution. I had 2 water butts connected in series for garden use and noticed that the main one that was fed by the gutters was collecting all the gunk from the roof and guttering. The 2nd one was almost clean.

I added a 3rd tank - a 1400L water tank - in series with the other 2, and they act as a gravity filter that collect all the sediment. I used very fine paper paint filters for ages on water for this tank and never once collected any visible particle matter from the tank so have stopped now.

It easily provides my water needs for all foams, rinses and buckets of water, although it is cold in winter :
