Hi, I’m Peter Bester, the Knysna Property Gladiator and owner of Home Caretaker Services, your home management & maintenance company in Knysna. Home Caretaker Services was created for property owners who want good value for their money and the peace of mind in knowing that their property is being looked after in a professional manner. Home Caretaker spends a number of hours every year on a local community project, collecting toys for underprivileged children in Knysna. On Christmas morning we distribute these gifts to those less fortunate than us. At one of these events, the kids at one of the Family welfare Children’s Home was extremely happy for the gifts. What struck me was that she did not even know how to open the wrapping! Now she can’t speak (not sure why as the social workers may not discuss the kids cases or circumstances with us), but the expression and the look in her eyes told me that we achieved our goal of helping a child that really needed it! When we left she stood in front at the fence waving bye to us. So often we and Roundtable help people that are in need, but seldom do we see full appreciation like this. The aim of this project was to create a entertainment area for both winter and summer. The patio was closed off with framless folding glass doors, wich can be opend in the summer to let the outside in and inside out. We removed the build in gas braai and replaced it with a conventional wood/charcoal braai. To give the braai/fireplace a artistic look we cladded the walls with a stone tile. Using river rock and other materials asosiated in the natural area, it makes for a perfect retreat in nature. Everything from the floors to the ceiling was inspired by nature. The Superhead rainwater tank filter is the only unit on the South African market that combines all of the following products into one unit, making it cost effective, neat and compact and easy to install. (Stops any floating debris from getting back into the system and blocking the insect screen) The Superhead rainwater filter is designed to automatically flush the first polluted water that comes off the roof when it rains and then diverts only clean water into your rainwater tank. The Superhead rainwater filter can either be mounted directly to some water tanks or on the wall and is suitable for both side and top inlet tanks. The adjustable drainage plug which is attached to the bottom of the flush pipe is designed to slowly drain the dirty/polluted flush water. This means that in the event of frequent rain, the system does not need to do a full flush every time, maximizing the amount of water that you collect in your tanks while ensuring that the water entering the tanks is clean. It is recommended to have a Superhead unit on every downpipe. However, Depending on the size of your catchment area and your requirements, you may only need a single unit. If you want to use the water for drinking, then it is recommended to have a larger flush. When it first rains, polluted water is washed off your roof and gutters and flows into the top of the Superhead. This polluted water flows into the unit and is automatically diverted through the one-way filter into the flush pipe (Standard 110mm pipe) which is connected to the bottom of the Superhead unit. As soon as the flush pipe is full, the clean water is diverted into the water tank. This water passes though an insect screen, stopping any insects or floating debris from getting into the water tank. The polluted water will slowly empty through the adjustable drain at the base of the flush pipe.
