Thank Dan. It's been a work in progress and learning experience. I think that I have it dialed in for me pretty good now. With the old system, I had to fully take it out of service and dismantle it before winter so it wouldn't freeze and break. Now I just leave that main valve open so it doesn't fill and drain what's in it. I still have storage in the basement, so if we get a warm stretch in the winter and it rains, I can just close the system up to catch and transfer it inside, and then drain what's left for when it gets cold again.
Thanks Steve. It seems to be a pretty good system now. I still only have all of the connections friction-fit. Nothing is glued, and not being pressurized, I haven't noticed any significant leaks to compromise filling the tank.
@@EMTRailfan Friction fit is great for testing . when I set up im going to run it through sand and gravel first to get most of the Bird crap and pollen out . Something easy to replace . maybe a rack and some kind of a removable tray.
I would be more apt to consume if we had a steel roof, but we have asphalt shingles. In a dire emergency, I would probably drink it and save our stored water for Mama and LH.
Pretty cool system!
I have two 60 gallon drums and catch my AC condensate water to use for my garden 😁
The less water that we have to buy from the man or take out of our wells, the better :-)
Looks good thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Thanks for stopping by Michael.
Ohhh I love the water catchment! Actually I love the way you grow your food! ❤
I have a garden vid scheduled to aire later in the week ;-)
wow what an amazing water system, great job

Neat set up you have going on.
Is this strictly for the gardens or can it be consumed?
