Links to other rainwater videos and an Amazon Parts list is below the Description.
This video describes the Large Rainwater Harvesting System I installed this past weekend in the back of my 24x51 foot garage. I did end up covering the totes with black plastic that I had laying around, with the purpose being to prevent algae buildup. The water harvesting system can hold up to 1200 gallons of water and has multiple methods to clean debris out of the water before it reaches the storage tanks. The rain water harvesting system uses IBC Totes, the First Flush System, and acts like an oversized rain barrel.
