    Rainwater cistern as a supplement to private well options?

    Wow!!! That was 2 years before I was born. Lol. That's a good thing. I still want the cistern as well to catch rainwater but I see that adding the bladder style pressure tank and then the cycle stop valve can be a great combination to the pump system.

    Rainwater cistern as a supplement to private well options?
