The solar pool filter is working wonderfully using all that energy produced by the bright sun in Jamaica. We have also just had all the gutters replaced as the old ones were really beaten and worn and we were loosing a lot of water. In addition ro the gutters we have enhanced our rainwater storage by another 37,400 litres giving us a total storage capacity of just under 200,000 litres. The new gutters mean that we will now be able to capture rainwater far more efficiently. Long term plans are to become as close to self suffucient as possible with our water supplies and then put our pumps on to solar energy as well. The green practices continue at Hotel Mocking Bird Hill.
