Water Filters

I forgot about the new water filters we put in last week. Our street water gets dirt/sand in it on a regular basis. Enough to clog shower heads and faucet screens, build up on the bottom of the cistern and stops one-way valves from working.

I've also decided we got too fancy with the valve system that automatically switches from street pressure to tinaco pressure so am going to try to remove them all and run direct lines. Too fancy because sometimes I have no water or my water is draining back to the street.

do you have a picture somewhere of the finished house or is it still
in the process of being built? if i remember correctly, you said you are living in it so it must be pretty well finished. i would love to see a picture of it. do you know steve cotton? we met 3 years ago before he moved to mexico and then saw each other again during christmas 2010 when he was back in salem for a vist. we originally met via the blog. i've met other bloggers that way too. i spent 2 winters,2007-8 doing volunteer work in chacala, that's when i first started reading blogs.

take care,

teresa in nagoya
