How to catch clean rainwater DIY Rainwater Harvesting

[@Jeremy-k2b]

Thanks for showing and explaining so well. I never fully grasped the first flush set-up before watching your video.

[@GrantBurton]

You're welcome. Glad I was able to help.

This is one of the best explanations of how, and why to do these very specific things. Thanks for the great video I’m now subscribing. I’m about to move to an off grid location in MO and I’m going to have to set up a system like this to have any water at all so this is extremely helpful.

[@GrantBurton]

Thanks very much. Best of luck with your off-grid living... exciting times ahead. Let us know how thing are going as you build your system.

@@GrantBurton will do, thanks brother.

Insightful video

[@GrantBurton]

Hi David, thanks.

[@DaleReubin]

Great video bro! I'd like to install this on the farm.

[@GrantBurton]

Hi Dale, thanks. Yeah... having your own pumped water backup is really nice.

[@MilesDaffin]

Fine as long as you only have one downpipe going into your system. I have around 10 on two large roofs. Leaf eaters are fine. But first flush on each one? What would you do?

[@TheThailightZone]

If you don't have the height for a larger collection pipe I guess you could always have two in series?

[@GrantBurton]

Do you mean the collector pipe that has the ball inside and catches all the dirty water? or the pipe that feeds water form the gutter into the top of the rainhead / leaf catcher?

How do you fix dirty water coming from your tank

[@GrantBurton]

Hi Audrey, you could install a set of water filters on the outlet side of your pump. Depending on what you want to do with the water, you could install a single stage sediment filter, a two stage filter (sediment + Carbon block filter) or a three stage filter (two sediment filters and one carbon block filter). Here is a video about filters kzbin.info/www/bejne/opLciqR7jqacfposi=hr3cCZo0H2nEZJzX and here is another kzbin.info/www/bejne/epbVnot4qa-AnKssi=UM33puqwRi8Zr9JR Hope this helps.
