  • In this video, we take a look at my off-grid water system. Using an IBC Tote as a water tank and an RV water pump we can easily supply on-demand water to multiple locations. If you need help finding the parts from the video, check out the links below.

    Awesome explanation! I'm looking to install a standalone water system for our chicken coop and garden with a buried tank.
    My question is, do you have any experience with these pumps hooked up to a float type valve? I would need that to fill the chicken's water reservoir. I'm trying to not need to include float switches and control circuits if needed, just not sure how this pump will do with a slow draw like a float valve does and concerned about the pump switching on and off all the time. Also considering just adding a small pressure tank to help with this small draw.

    I have an idea to basically double down on reducing the water tank to sunlight… hence the undesirable sequelae…. What ya think about painting the entire tank black??

      There's a local that owns an artisian well and delivers water. He uses one of these tanks in the back of a pickup along with a gas water pump. Takes him about 8 minutes to fill me up.

      @ThisLifeOutdoors  2 года назад +1

      I don't use this system in the winter. The hoses would definitely freeze. In my old cabin we kept a 55 gallon water tank in the loft. This would benefit from the heat we used in the cabin to avoid freezing while still giving you "running" water.
