Linking Barrels Together

[@mikehumphres3959]

A couple more thoughts. When it rains, often it rains hard. To allow the barrels to keep up and level off as opposed to the first one over flowing, I'd use 1.5, or 2" PVC to connect the barrels. The 5/8" garden hose wont keep up. Also, you don't need the pump. The water will drain by force of gravity from the bottom valve.

I had NO IDEA that a “Bung hole” was a real literal word and not just slang. Learn somethin’ new every day!

It's better to use a lawn sprinkler pump instead of a submersible pump. Although the pump costs more, the water pumps out of the hose with the same pressure as from a house faucet. The sprinkler pump stays outside the barrel. The spigot at the bottom of the barrel goes to the inlet, and the outlet of the pump connects to a garden hose.

The tap is way too high. It should be on the very bottom of the container.

She said bunghole...

Since the spigot that came with the barrel has washers and a nut, do the commercial grade spigots also need washers and a nut? Thread size is different on the commercial spigot from the original spigot that came with the barrel

But you did not show how to connect the hoses to the barrels !

[@garthwunsch]

Those spigots are way too small to get water out quickly. I've adapted my barrels to 1 in poly fittings and can fill a five gallon pail in 10 seconds

That was kind of a waste
