[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 354275, member: 6969"] This keeping water fresh thing puzzles me. You want water to hose down some sheep. As I keep saying my SIL down under collects rainwater off every available roof into big tanks for all their water needs including drinking and washing. It sits for months in the tanks with no treatment and provides them with good clean drinking water in a hot climate where you would think bugs would prevail. The only significantly different thing there is they have a wet season where it rains a lot, so they collect most of their water for the year in a short period. I guess that deals with all the bird poo on the roof as it gets heavily diluted. We tend to get many more wet days but often little rain so here you hight get a higher percentage of "roof dirt" in the water. I would just collect it and use it without worry. [/QUOTE]
