    Kenton on sea has always had a water shortage
    40 years ago the houses had cement tanks with hand pumps
    Today its plastic tanks and electric pumps
    I have 4 x 10000l and a pump that I run off solar
    As the town water used to have a bad taste the toilets were fed from the town and all the rest from the tanks
    So I only feed the toilets with town water and filter the water for drinking and cooking, unfiltered for bathing and washing.
    Can switch all feeds to municipal or tanks

    I have removed the plastic lens/cover and the led is fully functional
    Maybe I should use them without the cover
    I think what is happening is that the plastic starts to discolour even very slightly  this causes heat buildup and it just gets worse going into a destructive cycle
