Water System
300+ gallons of reserve water. When we water with the drip system, the water flows through the barrels and refreshes the water in them. We can fill the watering can and we have a sink to wash vegetables. The valves allow me to bypass the barrels in case something goes wrong. We use a manual timer to control the water. I plan to hook up an electric timer to water if we need to be gone more than a few days. There is a vacuum break sticking out the top. I discovered that if the timer shut off and I forgot to turn the valve off, the water would siphon out of the barrels, sucking them in and semi collapsing them.

Looking at the Synesso with the side panel removed. The large steam boiler is in the back and the three stainless steel heat exchangers that feed water through the steam boiler to each of the three independent group boilers are clearly visible.
