872162 2010-04-02 11:23:00 Warranty test coming up?



(If you tried to claim on that with NL near here, they would advise you that it was faulty water. They told a customer his toaster had faulty bread. Mind you, I've heard of hard water - - - - )

Suppliers agent inspected,took pics and said he hadn't seen this sort of thing b4.
Skellerup are no longer about as the have combined with another crowd.
He was going off to see what was to be done.

872164 2010-04-02 23:04:00 Hope the damage is confined to the roof, i . e . water isn't leaking from the base or the sides . I just got back from Waiheke, where water tank levels are getting critical, my hosts had only about a weeks reserve left . Good luck to you on both counts .

872166 2010-04-03 02:39:00 How about: There was this Black swan flying over that night. It had a heart attack and died. Now, an 11kg swan falling from about 1000ft would reach about 130kph, until the fall was stopped by a water tank. That could possibly cause the damage shown in the photo. There probably won't be any remains left as they are quite a delicacy to some people.
Any other theories? :D :D

Surely there would some signs of impact?

Yep, like a hole, and a general caved-in look to the top of the tank ;)

872169 2010-04-03 06:31:00 You may be familiar with Swan-upping. Swan-downing is somewhat more traumatic for those who happen to get a bit tanked. R2x1 (4628)

Old Bob didn't think that through R2.
