Just found your blog, nice shots you posted here. I see the simple pump in front of the cistern, is it working well for you? We also homestead in the Ozarks and have a simple pump, odd coincidence or synchronicity?

I love all the roof catchment you've set up, so crucial here in the Ozark with abundant rain. Does any algae accumulate in your pipes? We have a PC elevate black cistern plumbed with pex and it grew algae in the pipes over the summer. No biggie as an inline filter takes it our before it goes to irrigate.

Thanks for sharing these inspiring images.
