Background
As many homesteads in the Jasek’s neighborhood are needing to lower pumps deeper into existing wells or drill new ones, the Jasek’s switched from 100 percent groundwater to 100 percent rainwater for all household needs. The home has 16,000-gallons storage capacity from two different systems plumbed together allowing for easy movement of water to where it is needed. The primary system is stored indoors and was designed so water can recirculate to help prevent pipes from freezing. Additional benefits include mitigating erosion and flooding and having the garden/orchard areas on an automatic watering system that also fills a bird bath.
