cool and dark does it a world of good... also, these are generally total water supplies, so usage keeps it fresh... i would venture to guess that if you had the water around for a long time some sort of aeration would be in order... or some sort of sealing it... bottled water doesnt expire.

does the cistern have some kind of filtration system? i can see where good storage conditions and constant use makes it good (and ancient and modern city water supplies are proof of course).

i think i'm starting to understand something new! awesome :joint:

the simplest types i have seen are just screens at the intake and the tap above the bottom of the barrel... above any possible sediment.

personally, i would want some sort of modern micro filter on mine if i was gonna actually drink the stuff.

i knew an old farmer though that always drank out of what came from a series of rain barrels... open topped and all... he would pour a shot of kerosene into them to keep the mosquitoes from laying eggs :o

his rationale was the very bottom and the very top never ever get used.

let me point out that he was an OLD farmer... couldnt have been that bad :mrgreen:

When i was a kid i knew where the safe streams where and the locations of springs (still do know some - but getting fewer all the time).

But rain water collection didn't seem the same somehow. I agree about the filter. For watering the garden - not necessary - but for drinking - differnt story :mrgreen:

those farmers knew a thing or two!

In 1902 when This house was built
This system of Indoor Water supply
Was Designed. And is still in use.
Water falls from the sky.
Goes down in a series of ducts.

All ducts lead to here.
A switch so water
Can go away from the house
………OR……….

Go Down to Fill The Cistern

Where it is stored by natural
Means until needed.

But I would NOT drink That Water.

the good news is, plants dont mind gray water usually... but, why do you consider the water unpotable? maybe time for some tests to see if the plants can use it... BUT, if the water is a toxic puddle, you are already halfway to having a decent rain water system... instead of letting the ducts go to the old tank, divert them to your new barrels :D
