Wow. So it's not quite been a year since the grey-water system has been functioning. It went through a few phases. But today was a new one. Occasionally, if i space out after turning on the 
pump to get the water from the holding tank (bin--let's be honest) to the outfeed tank (that giant plastic box on a shelf), sometimes, the water overflows a bit. I usually catch it and it's ok. Today that happened. I caught it, and thankfully left the area, only to hear about 60 litres of water come crashing down with the shelf that was holding it. My floor was flooded, and only as i stood ankle deep trying to open the drain holes to release the water did i become aware that the pump's extension cord and power bar were partially submerged. Everything is (mostly) under control now. So it's back to the drawing board.
Oh my! You could have had a shocking experience. I am glad you didn't.
ReplyDeleteHey, Dave! Yeah--it wouldn't be the first time on this blog. I did get a little shock the next day. I do not enjoy it! So can we look forward to a blog from you?!
ReplyDeleteDude, you really need a roommate- if only to keep you from electrocuting yourself. Be careful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tiks! Yes, before doing anything i consider even slightly dangerous, i perform what has come to be known as the 'Safety Call.' There is no 'Safety Dance' as of yet. Basically, i call Yael and tell her if i don't call again in 5 min. she should call an ambulance. It's a good system. What's scary is when you don't think to make a safety call because you're not doing anything!!
ReplyDeleteBut thanks for the concern.
