[C320-list] Water Tank Balance

[Greg Flanagan]

We keep the 2 tanks open together which keeps an even level and keeps the pump from going dry. I have found getting "notified" that half my water was gone by one tank emptying was useful to get to know the usage for the first year or two but then just annoying.

Assuming both tanks are full, there are several options available.  One is to deplete the fwd tank first.  Two is to deplete the aft tank first.  Three is to use water from both tanks equally.
