Home Rainwater System Not Working

Lausgunner on 12/02/2022 - 14:54

Hi,

I've recently noticed that my wet rainwater tank system at home has not been collecting any water.

The pipe running along the top to feed water into the tank does not have any water running through it.

Is there any way I can check what the issue is?

Thanks.

My tank hasn't been collecting much water lately either. The problem appears to be a lack of precipitation.

Yes. Have a look at the pipes and see where the water should to enter and have a look.

Use your peepers.

  And if you have trouble using them set your camera to video and poke it around the place. Tape camera to a stick/broom if necessary.

It's caused by dehydrated H2O.

Contact your Bureau of Meteorology and ask them to send only rehydrated H2O to your tank.
