Is it safe to use rainwater for washing machines?

Yeah,but you dont't want to kill your new threads before the big first night, surely you ladies know this, ladyboys surely know this already.....

 

Well, OP, you better not hope this post makes it to the majority of Australia, God knows how they survive without a pipe from the local dam, who collect's every dead animal, bit of oil (even from your crappy car), soil and land run off, many thousands of birds who poop, as well as millions of other animals who poop, not too mention the old septics, who, you can guess whose poop is in them....run into your precious clean tap water.....

Oh, yeah, that is right, it has been treated with many deadly chemicals too keep you and your threads happy....

Geeeeeez

Don't go to many European cities, you will get too make your tea or coffee from someones pee only hrs later.

Now, wake up.

 

Yeah, I was raised on a farm. We had green house frogs in our tanks.

At least we knew it was going to rain, way before we saw the clouds. Their croaking was (nearly) unbearable .

 

Same here as the gauze in the trap inlet had broken away. Visitors from town always commented on how beautiful and sweet the water was. Fortunately unlike the frogs no one croaked.

 

Travelling salespeople used to always drop in and ask for a glass of water.

We gave me a drink from the tank with the most frogs.

They would always remark that rainwater was so much sweeter than town water .

 

Rainwater would be far better, if not only to avoid the lovely flavors from the chemicals in many town water systems.

Plants seems too like it better....

The disconnect with many in this day and age is a worry.

 

Rainwater or not, at the very least it's good to see some PC'ers have a sense of humour, and it's not all doom and gloom about Sydney's property. This thread's made my day!

 

Town water stinks like a swimming pool to me, been on rainwater 90% of life.
Dead frogs, birds, bird **** etc, its all good bacteria.
How do you reckon our ancestors got on drinking from a stream?
I remember drinking from a stream years ago, looked upstream about 10m and here was a dead cow in the water. Water tasted just as good as if it wasn't there.
Still here to tell the story.

 

I heard a rumour (from confidential sources) that Sydney has hit the “bottom of the valley of despair “ and the green shoots of a recovery are starting to appear.

Spread the rumour!!!!

 

Bit like the drought, needs water.

 

... and fertiliser.

There is plenty of bull.hit flying around .

So the green shoots might take off .

 

I am always thinking of ways to capture more of the golden stuff......if I had room for a couple of hundred k tanks I would gladly be drinking it.....poopy bits and all
