Maybe an on-line search would reveal some useful results. I'm still wondering how the ends of the greenhouse roof will be finished out - left open, or closed-in somehow. I guess all will be revealed in the fullness of time!<br /><br />It looks good, John, real good.Allen Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500590136731959920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-26938019660714613432011-01-29T14:47:43.584-06:002011-01-29T14:47:43.584-06:00John, I purchased a Big Berkey purifier for potabl...John, I purchased a Big Berkey purifier for potable water while at the Ranch. It's about $200 but will purify 1000's of gallons of water you get off the greenhouse at a rate of 3.5 gallons per hour. It's stainless and simple. Might be worth a look.Bruce Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268522945704021703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-12238453087441072222011-01-29T07:44:52.549-06:002011-01-29T07:44:52.549-06:00Hey Ben...yes, I do intend to capture the water of...Hey Ben...yes, I do intend to capture the water off the greenhouse roof for my potable water - not sure what filter system I will use at this point. All that creek water I pump into tanks when it rains will be used for the greenhouse gardens.John Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783305402239706779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-70230497236772518062011-01-29T04:47:08.967-06:002011-01-29T04:47:08.967-06:00OK JW, I GOT to ask cause this has bugged me for e...OK JW, I GOT to ask cause this has bugged me for ever. Do you intend to capture that water for drinking or simply for the green house? There has to be a simple way for you to take advantage of it for your consumption.Ben in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068952818736489066noreply@blogger.com
