Kenny202 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Is there any harm in doing this? Older roof about 10 years but still solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I wouldn't drink it unfiltered, but not because of the roof material more because of what's dissolved in the rain or what washes off the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I would ensure it's filtered properly first .... would be fine for washing and taking a shower in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny202 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 I know one thing. It tastes bloody good! :-) When we first came here we were drinking water from my missus grandmother's Ong next door. I didn't realize the jar had been covered and not touched or refilled for at least 5 years. Wasn't a trace of algae or anything in the jar. I didn't know the water was so old until a month of drinking it but it was pure and sweet and we never died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlehead Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Seems most of Issan does it. Those big cement vase looking tanks aren't used just for washing and cleaning. They drink that water. I cleaned one out at my wife's mother's house once. Only to find about 20 cm of mud on the bottom. After totally getting it all out, and sponging it clean and dry, I asked when was the last time they cleaned it. "Never" was the answer. No one cleans them. Crap just settles in the bottom and they take the water from the top. Found a dead chicken in there one day. (that's why we cleaned it) My theory is that the human body gets used to certain bacteria and creates a resistance. But dead chickens? I wasn't ready for that experiment.
