AngusMactavish Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Isn't that why every house has a tenaco upstairs to store water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And usually an aljibe under the driveway or garage. But if unbeknownst to you, no city water has been running into the aljibe--and hence not being pumped up to the tinaco--one can indeed have no water. How many people actually know when city water is running into their storage tanks? I never knew that in Ajijic, and don't have a clue now, in Mexico City.

solajijic Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 We are on Donato Guerra between 16th de Sept and Constitucion and have water but it could be the aljibe supply. I guess we will know in when its time for morning showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafemediterraneo Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Our outside hose and washing machine both run on a pipeline that branches off before the tinaco. If water is not being sent there is no water in those pipes. Haven't been able to water the plants for 2 days...sometimes Simapa turns off the water when they're doing a big project. Could it have to do with the carretera construction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Water came back on here around 6PM yesterday. Unusually long interruption, maybe construction has something to do with it. In recent years the water supply has become more reliable in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in Ajijic, back in the dark ages, my tinaco was made of asbestos and I didn't have an aljibe. You're right about Rotoplas. It's rare to see a different brand.

I know what you mean I never send water from my aljibe to my tinaco as that water has been sitting around for awhile. My tinaco is filled directly from the street water supply. Many asbestos tinacos have been phased out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Don't you put chlorine tabs into your aljibes? I don't use the water from mine either but I put three chlorine (little ones) into a 6,000 litre aljibe every single month. I can see them clearly on the bottom but there is some scuzz on the top of the water. Gets cleaned yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
