Here you can’t have enough water.
After drinking and cooking, in the summer, a wet towel on your shoulders, makes you think it is cooler.
The pets will need a cool spot to lay down and cool off.
If you have food growing you will want water.
Bill always intended to buy a couple guns that would fire the NATO ammo sizes, as he said there would be lots of bullets on dead bodies, in the war zone, if we were invaded.
On your water storage, one of the good ideas that I have heard, came from a caller to the Dr. Bill Wattenberg program at kgo.com, he is a scientist and inventor, who likes good ideas.
His suggestion, install a new large hot water heater, put it in the line with your old water heater, do not connect heat to the new one and it must have faucets on both the intake and out going pipes. So you can be sure that the water does not siphon out.
The goal here is to have a water tank of fresh water at all times, in case you need it.
The fresh cold water enters the new tank, and goes out of it to the old tank and the old tank heats it and sends it on its way.
With the fresh water going through the new tank, it is always fresh.
I did not listen to Dr. Bill this past weekend, he is on Sat and Sunday evenings at 10 pm, so don’t know what he talked about.
He can be heard on replay at the kgo.com site.
