Gunk From First Flush

The water tank has started to fill up. I checked the first flushes and they are collecting a lot of gunk. One of the devices had even blocked. I put in wider apeture drippers.



I shone a torch into the tank. It had a slight brown tinge. Hopefully it will settle.

The system actually has a number of filters. A course and fine one in the form of a leaf guard. A fine mesh one into the tank. And finally a very fine one just after the pump.

I think the secret will be in cleaning out the gutters and leaf guards often.
