Our total roof space is over 6500 square feet, if you calculate that into a rain harvesting calculator www.bluebarrelsystems.com/diy/size-your-system/ with our 31" rain averages per year, you get well over 120,000 gallons of water. Even in drought years it exceeds 70K. Why pay a utility or extra to run wells. We have 3 wells, they put out low rate, so this is how to work them less, pay less over time and have prepper solutions that work.
Think you got 80 40 20 10 tank, the other way around.guess your catching sand all rainy days, I got 2mm mesh, bucket over flows threw 500mn, drops threw 20mn sock, ing a ibc tank which recirculates down too 10mm then gets pumped into another ibc and reecirculates to 5mn, to the taps 5mn 1mn and a carbon block 10". Blower could suck it threw to
We tend to get leaf film on the roofs, so using 40 to 80 to 200 Mesh in the collection tanks we remove it then using a 5 micron cycle pump we clean all the remaining pollen or silt from the system. From there it is sent through a 120 foot pipes to a gravity tank with 3 filters, a 5 micron to a 1 micron and mild chlorinating then pumped into the homes and shop from it. There it goes into a 0.5 micron twin filters and drinking water is into a 5 stage simpure reverse osmosis. Until we get the new big tank into action we are using 2 of the 300g IBC totes inside the shop to use all the water collected for use. It's been working fine, but 3 times last year we had to pull from the county system to supplement since we wasted the chance to collect 50% more rain. That is now in FIX STAGE 2~ !
@JOHNDANIEL1 It just sounds like you have your meshes upside down. Don't forget in plastic water will go acidic, but when it goes underground it should level itself, with cool temperatures. got a uv light on it? I need to get a uv or my tummy turns over. Wind turbines and furling ? Is their such a thing as furling into the wind, because theirs lots of videos of furling out of the wind, I don't see the point in it, metal ball bearings are ment to get hot, so furling in to the wind with a got size tail would mean the turbine blades aren't bending towards the wind, when the wind is come from different directions.
Excellent water containment system. Running the lead rope with a leaf blower worked pretty good. 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Looks to be a huge collection system, nice 👍
Looks like a lot of work getting it done 👍
Another great idea
As always more grate information thank you

all you really needed was a hamster, 100ft of string and some cheese. 😁
What's the name of that municipality, Daniel, TX? What zip-code did they assign to it? Great intel here. Thanks.

@@JOHNDANIEL1 Amen, brother. I've got a really strong, gut-feeling we're going to need these kind of things real soon. Be well.
