"I've done a lot of offshore sailing and racing over the years, and it didn't make sense that ten people could live on a boat for 15 days out in the ocean and survive on 200 gallons of water, and you come ashore, and you use 20,000 gallons a month," he said.
Boettcher said all it takes is nearly two inches of rain to completely fill the tank. That much rainfall is rare in Southern California, so some of the systems he's built over the years actually recycle water.
California should have been using recycled water for all newly constructed home landscaping since the 70's. Extremely poor planning.
This should of been decades ago 😖🤦♂️
