right Rand Water, bring on your water maintenance project and watershedding for all I care.

New bigger Jojo Tank to last a week is in, filled up and pressure pump (mobile tsotsi-proof) ready, fully integrated into my Home Assistant dashboard.

Next project to check and maintain the borehole that has not been used in 10 years.
