The earthquakes have reminded me to add in some additional emergency water stockpiles (we've got some, I just want more).
At our old place I installed a 200L Tank Guy water tank that filled via a diverter from a downspout. This was really good, but it did mean that you were supposed to periodically empty and refill the tank to flush through the water. Of course I did this regularly. #yeahright
We'll be in our current place for a good long while and so am happy to spend a bit more money to do it right. Are there water tanks that self replenish? i.e. older water is cycled out as new water is added? What is the correct word(s) for this so I can google options?
I am also thinking about adding a first flush diverter and some kind of leaf shield. Can I do this myself (legally) or are there rules about using plumbers?
