It is good reading. There is much to consider, but for me, this is the way I'll go with my last house.

WOW--THAT's good info!!!

The roof flush system really makes me want to scrap this whole idea and just do this simply and unfiltered on a metal barn roof.

Too bad about the pressure issues too. I wonder if there is an easy, inexpensive pressurizing unit that I could impliment into my system.

I like the 50 gal drum idea, personally, if I could buy them cheap enough. We have a guy here locally who sells plastic soft drink drums really cheap.
