Thanks Big G
Hi Thanks for the replies so far. Yes I have also heard that people stop flow to their filters as most of the bacteria will die when it comes...
OK, I don't think anybody understands me. So far I am only getting replies from people who use buckets, or make some other arrangement to let the...
Who's got time for buckets? :) I refer to hose pipe into tank, and then open the tap...
