Only a geek could love this

I spent the last couple of days putting together this thing that looks like a high school science project gone terribly wrong. Starting from the bottom piece and moving up the panel as the water flows, this contraption consists of:

  1. The water pump, which moves water from the storage tank to the house at a steady 55PSI.
  2. Sediment and carbon filters, removing particulates and odors.
  3. An ultraviolet light zapper, the long stainless cylinder, killing off bacteria or any other living organism which might be present.

Luckily, this mess will eventually be hidden from view with some sort of enclosure. After the UV treatment, the water goes back down underground for the voyage to the house. Next on my list is to install some toilets, sinks, etc. to actually do something with the water. And an aerobic septic system for taking care of the water waste. Enough fun for the geekiest of geeks!

Gosh! You're having fun! We want to visit. AND, while you and Ann are standing on your heads in some Wimberley-yoga posture, Chuck and I will hit the wineries.
