Here is my tank

I try to keep it covered to keep Algae from growing.

The down spout

This is how it comes in

For a long time I only had the hand pump. A bath in the tub requires 15 pots of water and at 20 pumps per pot, it was pretty hard work. Especially when I've been out trimming horses all day.
So I put a sump pump in and attached it to a hose and plugged it into a power strip so I can easily turn it on and off.
I plan to get a torpedo pump and hook it up to the existing pressure tank from the defunct well. One day I will have hot and cold running water again and can just turn on the tap for my bath!

I have one of those heat tapes wrapped around it excuse it is above ground. Then I covered it with hay and black plastic. I've not had any problem

I do shock it which I don't like. But I keep it to a minimum. I hate to do it but until I sort out a better filtering system for the intake it is what I have to do
