In any case, I have thought of some kind of filter in the gutter - I just need to make sure I remember to clean it now and then. As for the tank - pollen floats to the top, sand goes to the bottom, so as long as the water is taken from just below the surface, I should not need to clean the tank that often. I think the electric gutters will be too expensive. With falls usually being quite wet, I would imagine I would have close to a full 7500 liters / 2000 USG approaching december, so the period of no water should be short - if any. In normal winters here, there are usually periods with thawing - only recently was a bit odd, with several consecutive months of no positive temperatures at all.
