[Cob] rain water harvesting and purification system

[Amanda Peck]

that's about what I did, having looked long and hard at his site, and some 
other stuff.  Not sure how it's going to stand up to frost, but.... It's in, 
with a way too small tank that I already had.

A friend of mine loaned me a turn-of-the-LAST-century Canadian book on water 
for the homestead.

Apparently what they were doing then, was using a hand pump to go from their 
cistern, well, or spring to a tank in the attic, which gave them flowing 
water, (if not enough to heat with a demand heater that hadn't been invented 
yet).  And I think sometimes they would do the same with hot water, heated 
in the resevoir on the cookstove.  I'd be happy with it, I think.  Might 
want to have dual power--e.g., hand and 12 v, to send the water to the 
attic.

I thought this was useful and detailed enough to learn from.
