Excuse the pun. But my new pet hate is tank water being anywhere else but the tank or in the garden. :evil:

My last post about this matter was when i flooded the dinning room. Since then ive flood the kitched.

At least once a week i manage to siphon water over the floor but its only a little bit. Enough to be a pain.

450L tank emptied onto floor 2x
500L water barrel leaking onto floor 4 times (bad tap)

leaving house on while filling barrel then running out of the house 2 times (3000L's was my best effort)

Managed to floor the dinning room last week. Luckily my new place have tiles.

Also had a 4ft colapse and smash. Luckily that was in my garage and I was home.

Oh the joy!

Hehehe I think all Fish Tank owners have been there at least once. I have only had the 4ft tank go once. But within a whole month I had the fish tank go, followed by the Washing Machine, followed by the Dishwasher, followed by the Dishwasher again.

Thank god for the person who invented completely tiled houses.

I used to fill my RO barrels upstairs in the bathroom above the kitchen. I used to put them in the bath just in case they overflowed and it would just drain down the plughole. Not this day though, I left them filling just on the bathroom floor, forgot and when shopping. I came back home after about an hour to find rain falling on the kitchen window . Trouble was it was falling from the inside AAAAHHHHHH!!!
Needless to say, I was not very popular that day :lol:
