Thanks for this video. I just bought 4 barrel kit from bluebarrelsystems and I just received 6 bluebarrel food grade this morning. I'm excited to start this project.
Your barrels are upside down. The scale for gallons won't work upside down unless you write the scales correctly with a permanent marker in the reverse order.
Yes--they are upside down. So the bottom of the upside down barrel (towards the ground) indicates 55 gallons, ten gallons up it would read 45 gallons, and hence, a bit below that (towards the ground) would mean that there are 8 to 9 gallons of water in each barrel. It works if you know that they are upside down, which is hard to forget, since the numbers are written upside down. I am not trying to be sarcastic, just trying to understand where you are coming from.
Well done, good thinking, I have done similar, including overflow from last tank into garden & fertilising through the tanks ❤

I liked and subscribed specifically because of your statement at the end😂. Good video
Edit: When I say "8 or 9 gallons of water" at about 6:30, it really is 8 or 9 gallons x 5 barrels for 40-45 gallons total.
Using the hose is a good trick. Better than spending the $45 for the gauge they sell on their website. Thanks.
Indeed, and since I have three mini-systems, that would mean 3 gauges?!?
Impressive
