I inverted mine, then drilled a hole in the "top" to fit a threaded 3/4 inch pvc fitting so it has antennas. Capped the antennas then used the smallest drill bit I could find to perforate the caps. So the antennas act as the air releases. Then on the 2inch PVC, off the first flush, headed over to the barrels I used a T to make a Gutter down spout higher than my barrels water level to act as my overflow. Then put a piece of window screening in the bottom of the gutter spout and on the intake from the gutter. This seals my system from mosquitos and allows the barrels to fill completely. But creates all the head room in the world, since the Antenna and T down spout can be any height above your barrels. All it does is catch an extra foot of water, extra, in the 2" PVC and the 3/4" antennna, insuring all your barrels fill to max adjusted for any out of level. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY SEALS THEM FROM BECOMING MOSQUITO BREEDING COMPOUNDS. I havent seen a mosquito get in and if they did theyre going to have issues getting out. But mute point since they cant get in. Im not sure they know Im hiding water there at all. I study mosquito behavior and I swear if 1 figures it out they start recording a memory in their little bot army of where to breed.

Needs the on-demand swich type of pump.

“I couldn’t find the part at Lowe’s/Home Depot, so I had to order it online. Because of course, it couldn’t of been that easy” dang isn’t that the truth!! 😂 only if the home stores actually sold what we always go there for

Have you noticed that everyone has to give their opinion and there way is the only way to do it

I’ve been using a Seaflo 33 series 110V electric pump which includes on demand pressure on-off. It’s a little pricey at $99 but it is not loud and works great. It is not a submersible but it’s been mistreated and still continues to just work. I use my rain barrel water just like a normal street water hookup. Great pressure etc

Good job.

How do fill other two barrels on left?

The rain water will flow out at a quicker pressure if there is a hole or cap opened at the top of the barrel when watering.

How did you get the nut started and tightened on the inside of your barrels?

Omg.😍😍you. Them. Everything. ❤

Always had horses, and a few mules so, I have found out over the years that besides normal training, and work, interpersonal time does wonders for bonding. Fantastic world to be part of

Aren't you using the fat to keep the fire rather than start it? If I have cotton, I already have kindling. so what's the point? Feels like a candle

Ty for building something simple and not a mini water treatment plant. This is easy to recreate

fun video. but cant you just use a paper towel instead of a cottom shirt?

Love it❤

You straight up don't know how this whole barrel thing works. You need a screen on top for one thing, not just for bugs but for other stuff that comes off the roof. The valves on the bottom even out the levels. You leave them open all the time. The openings on the top are there for overflow to make sure it goes away from the foundation.

THEY ARE ADORABLE !!!!

Beautiful, happy, and healthy !!!

They are super cute !!!!

I have a big backyard and I'll be using the pump to push water to barrels at the end of my garden where they will drip into the garden by gavity fed.

Wouldn't be easier to use additional three barrels as stands and perhaps even fill them up instead that wooden shelves ?

How high do you make the water in the tote

I really like this system the best out of the other videos I've watched pertaining to hooking up several rain barrels. Thanks! I subbed and liked.

Those pumps aren't meant to be turned on unless water is flowing through them. So every time you close your spray nozzle realistically you should shut off your pump. On demand pump would be much better for you. They sense the drop in water pressure when you open your spray nozzle and instantly turn on.

Nice kitchen buddy. Thanks for the post.

Where did you get the red t-posts? All I can find is green

On your other barrels, I'd recommend drilling some smallish holes at the top of each barrel to prevent a vacuum pressure from happening.

donkeys are good eating

too loud

Thanks 😊

Drinking water hoses.

On demand pump would be perfect here. And float valve connected to solenoid connected to house/well water as a back up for droughts. Put a timer and landscape irrigation on garden side of the pump and you have a hands free system. Use free rain water when rainy, use house water when barrels dry but barrel self fill with float valve/solenoid. Add solar panel if you really want a fancy set up to run pump/solenoid. Thats what ive got

How do you fill the other two barrels with water?

Those y splitter are costly.

So blessed you are being able to have your donkeys. I love donkeys. I would have a toy miniature if I could. Your donkeys are absolutely beautiful. I live way down south with Lake Okeechobee behind my house. No donkeys here, just endless sugar cane.

How do you winterize your water system?

👍👍👍👍

Great video 1st time on your channel 💪🏽👍👍

Great job. New sub so leaving a comment to make sure it sticks. Will swing over later with my other channel too.

Does he mean the dog isn't a problem like he shot it?

Love the coloring on the pregnant jenny!!!

Drill a tiny hole In the top

If u paint them black .no alge

Is it ok to keep 1 mini donkey

great design thank you for sharing!

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. I have not put it into action yet, but I want to try and live above timberline and use marmot fat for cooking and warmth the way seal fat is used by the Inuit. Let the experiments begin!

It looks easy thanks for sharing

Good effective, flexible configuration. It should serve you well. I'm surprised you use only 30 gal per watering for what appears to be a substantial size garden.

When full, that looks like a lot of weight, I hope you have enough support.

This a sweet simple setup. I have 5 barrels. Two in front and three in back of house, separately hooked up. I have been using the top of barrel method, like you did, and am not happy with maintenance and hassle.The brittle black vinyl corrogated hose sucks. Always breaking. We live in Ottawa, Ontario so I have to put the barrels away for the winter. Just wondering how you made use of the various hose connectors. Did you use hose fitting that you installed yourself, and how. My attempts have always leaked.
