Life in the Province - Water storage system for areas without reliable water supply

I built a water storage system so we can have fresh water to mix cement during the day when the water from the municipality isn't available.

[@roysjoy4715]

Great Idea and nicely done. I would suggest a manifold running along the top access holes to a vent pipe for each barrel . I believe that will allow all barrels to fill to the top. Loosening the cap will work as a stop gap method, I am comparing your set up to holding tanks for gasoline with the vent pipes being 12 feet or more above for a similar reason, as well allowing any vapors that may be present to safely go to atmosphere. Not meant as criticism just observing and talking, I will be doing a similar system for back up water. Thanks for the share.

[@OdopaTruelove]

Very useful and definitely will be building similar in Ghana. Thank you.

[@Ed.Sel74]

Your design came out the best. I was thinking about using 1/2 inch nylon bushings to connect your rain water barrels.

[@adrianroggero6702]

Awesome ideas, thank you so much. Trying to find some ways for my Girlfriends family not to have to walk 15 minutes to carry water home. The roof can collect rainwater.

Thanks for sharing this ideas, New friend here ;-)

[@elvicbutad2217]

Nice clip. May I know what is the name of the black fitting connected to the cup?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

Just plastic 1/2 inch compression fittings.

[@alexanderhmaniwang]

Very nice and good idea, by the way how many liters does the barrel can be stored?thanks

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

About 200 liters each.

[@petebals5]

now sir how to clean this drum. is there a hole for maintenance?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

It originally held rum and I rinsed it out, I only use the water to mix concrete. If you want drinking water just rinse with soap and water and disinfect with chlorine. You can smell the inside and if it's chemicals then do not use for drinking or bathing or washing clothes. There are 2 holes in the top on each side for inspection and filling or draining.

[@edmondcaminero6861]

i try this because our place are always water enteruption.

[@WaderAstra]

When it rains the base of the holder will sink . Better to cement the floor

[@80srok71]

Good idea did you have any trouble filling the barrels from the first barrel? Agree with comment below maybe slope the angle to help filling and gravity pressure.

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

as long as the top caps are loose they all fill and drain great. eventually they will be elevated when i build my house and that will provide pressure. right now we are just filling water buckets for mixing cement.

[@eldenlestergonzales1303]

Can i ask where you guys avail those plastic barrels? Im at Cebu City, is there a nearby stores with those?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

Most hardware stores sell them for about 1300 pesos each. The ones I get had some kind of alcoholic beverage in them like wine or rum, you can smell it when you open the cap. They should be easy to find just ask at the nearest street hardware store.

Hi po pag ganyang water pump po na malakas horse power may control ba sya para Hindi masyadong malakas?I mean kasi Meron po akong ganyan,tapos nong nalaman ng mga kabitbahay ko di nila ako in-allow kasi hihina daw yong tulo ng tubig nila.may controller po ba to o ano pong pwedeng gawin?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

This is just a gravity flow water storage. You could connect a pump to get more pressure out of it.

[@teamhart0702]

Paano po na open und takip ng drum?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

Usually by hand, but if it is stuck then a screwdriver and a hammer then tap it around until it is loose.

[@arco0475]

Saan at papano lagyan nang tubig ang drum?

[@resnycaballerorjcaballero4203]

How much the price every 1 drum pls

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

Last time i checked 1300 pesos each.

[@johnlloydbacugan8260]

paano po hugasan yung langis sa loob, ano po ba dapat gawin sir? thank u po

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

These are wine/rum barrels, diesel is in steel barrels.

[@juliushiya]

Whats the name of that black color in series pbc

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

It is 1/2 inch back water tubing that comes in a roll, I don't know the actual name, however it is common at most hardware stores in the Philippines. And the black fittings are compression fittings. The black pipe comes in thin and thick wall and is available in 1/2, 1 inch and maybe other diameters. I use the thin walled for my drip irrigation system too, the thick wall is very hard to punch holes in for the drip irrigation fittings.

@@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030 thanks a lot bro

[@adrianroggero6702]

Polyethylene pipe. Sometimes called short name Poly pipe. I used to make it.

[@adrianroggero6702]

White pipe is called PVC (poly vinyl chloride)

[@bestdoomsdaygear8671]

How long did this set up take?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

Best Dooms Day Gear Building the benches took a day or so and doing the plumbing just took a few hours. I had to go to a machine shop to get the white caps drilled because I did not have a hole saw/drill bit that size.
