Hey guys

Was just wondering, now that day zero will be 21 April - what are you guys doing or planning to do?

This is what I have done and am planning to do:


  • Installed a grey water system (connected to a 100 litre tank)
  • Have a well point


However when the taps run dry a grey water system won't help and just hear that Beaufort West's ground water has run dry, so the well point won't last that long.

So I am planning the following (comments welcome)

* Getting a porta potti to use as a toilet - I have read that you can get about 50 flushes with about 9litres of water. I just don't know where to get rid of the waste??
* Buy a 750 litre JoJo tank to possibly catch some more rain water (there are only 10 left in stock at Builders Warehouse YIKES!)
* Use a 12 litre solar shower (https://www.takealot.com/leisurequip...e/PLID40900606)
* Use a 5 litre tank with a booster pump to connect to the front loader and use in combination with airwash to get the clothes clean.

That should get us through with 50 litres per day. (New ration is 25 litres per day and we are two in the house)
