The water supply

You hear a lot less about our water than a few years ago as it is much better (plus we are more experienced in managing it). But from time to time it still does run out. Cleaning the horse box with the pressure washer often causes this - particularly by the time we have had a couple of showers as well.
It ran out last weekend though I had recently changed the filter so I went to check it really had run out because we had used it all rather than the filter being blocked again (that is the most frequent reason and we have a new type of filter). I managed to break the plank - which has been on its way out for some time, so I was being careful,  but clearly not careful enough - and bruise my leg. Thought it was broken for a moment! You can see the tank here pretty much in the center (side to side) and about a third of the way up.

This is the naughty plank

Looking in to the near empty tank. It never get's totally empty as that red thing causes the water to cut off when it hangs on end from it's wire (when the tank is full it floats on its side)

This is how the water flows in to the tank

This is where the water comes out of the spring and is captured :) takes quite a bit of wading in the swamp and battling nettles when this bit goes wrong
