1kVa UPS powering the TV & Wireless router in the bedroom. Going to get a 2,5kVa router to power the TV & primary DSTV decoder in the lounge as well.

A generator is noisy & I'll have to pay for it. The UPS is free.

Do share the secret on how to get a UPS free?

Not sure if we even had load shedding... my Inverter and Batteries just rock!

I have a 5000 liter water tank in my backyard. Main line feeds into tank and pressure pump feeds to house from tank. Putting up another 5000 l soon. We've had some hectic water supply problems in the past. I think there is not 1 house in town without at least a 1000 l backup.

Thats my plan for the very near future... want to put up a 5000l from the mains water and another 5000l for rain catchment when we eventually get rain.. need the rain water for veg gardening(my other hobby)

 

[Noddy]

Go for it. With 5000 liter you'll have water for more than a week if not two weeks.

Our water was off from 6am this morning, and is still off..Rumors going around now that the town has run dry compleatly..had a water tanker come by bout 30mins ago.. with temps in the 40's with no rain we in for a rough summer
