I've never heard of it before, but I always wondered why it wasn't more common. What kind of filter(s) does it go through before you drink it? Does the tank cover the whole roof? When it is full, it should have a significant heat capacity -- does that help keep the house from heating up too much on a hot, sunny day? -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
