OFF GRID and using RAIN WATER | complete system walk through

Check out the video of the spray foam install here--->kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2KWc4tna7ysjZY thanks for watching the vids and see you tomorrow!

[@CountryCampers]

Hi Doug, love your water system and effiecient it works. At the end you ask if we have been watching the news... Don't own a tv nor any cable, and really don't mind it at all. However, I guess you have heard of the Corna virus that the media has been talking about. We are simply following the CDC's recommendations and aren't going out much anyways in public. What are you doing as an off gridder during times like this? Thanks again for another video. PS: We are getting 7 days of rain here in West TN this week! Do you have any plans of visiting West Tennessee in the future?

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

@@CountryCampers I was referring to getting your preps up... the worst time to get prepared is when everyone is freaking out lol then you cant get the stuff you need 👍 and a healthy immune system, rest and hydration and you will never get the flu or 19 😉 proof is right here... over 2 years of daily videos and you never see us sick

Even though living off the grid won't ever be a reality for me, I still love seeing how Doug and Stacy manage to make it a reality for themselves. You two present inspiring, thought-provoking, and humorous shares on a regular basis - better than 90% of the garbage programs on TV. On a more personal note, Doug do you have any tips for growing a healthy beard?

[@DM-kl4em]

Even if you are not COMPLETELY off grid, you can always go PARTIALLY off grid and work your way up incrementally. Personally, I have a small vegetable garden, a trap line, an off-grid water system, and a basic solar system that I am slowly scaling up. My water system is about a year old now, and it uses gravel, paving sand, and charcoal (to remove pollution) in 5 gallon buckets, and it pumps water from the creek into a 330 gallon IBC tote. I kill any bacteria in the water by adding 0.13 oz. of HTH pool shock powder per 100 gallons. It's enough to prevent algae from growing in the tank, while still being dilute enough to avoid bleaching my clothes in the wash. I am currently adding a threaded filter to help get the water crystal clear (It still has a very slight yellowish color, as groundwater in Kentucky is high in iron). For now, the sink taps, shower, bath, and dishwasher still use city water, but taking the washer and toilets off city water takes a HUGE bite out of the water bill. There was some initial cost for all of this, but water has gotten so expensive after 2020 that it has ALREADY paid for itself. My solar power system currently has some old 12V lead acid car batteries connected in parallel, a 12V to 110V power inverter (to convert DC to AC), and a Renogy charge controller connected to three 100W solar panels. I can power my computer, printer, extra monitor, and 4 lamps on days that I work from home, and the pump that supplies water to the washer and toilets is connected to it as well. I plan to keep adding an extra solar panel and/or battery whenever I have some money set aside for it. It's a slow climb, but I'm getting there. Anyway, I hope that helps. If I can do, it as a sole breadwinner, working 2 jobs to support a wife and young daughter, then anyone can do it.

[@teresaallen8927]

Wow so much to learn. But that's the fun of it all huh...🤗 I'm going back and watching a lot of y'all's videos to get educated by y'all! We 💕 Love you and Stacy! Cool!

[@juliagray4771]

Hi guys! Hi from New Zealand!! You two are amazing!! You've literally saved us on our new off grid journey...... have just binge watched all your rainwater videos as we have been pumping water a looooong distance, from a river into our internal bus tank.... then a large 800watt pump fires every time we turn a tap on, draining our solar batteries coming into winter - its been a nightmare as had to buy a huge generator to then charge our batteries! We have used ALL our savings and we are now using so much fuel, PLUS the generator fuel - NOT ideal with fuel shortages and collapse on the horizon! Your channel has been the answer to our prayers and I thank you for your time and knowledge..... we have hope again that we can survive out here in the beautiful wilderness. It doesn't get too cold here... down to -10 Celcius (14F) so I'm confident we can do it! THANKYOU, God bless you both xoxox

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Stay in touch

[@cyndidame1721]

I love that gravity fed system....much better than a well. We lose power...we also lose our water because of the pump. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@danielleterry2331]

Trust me don’t I know it!! I am doing all my prepping on just my meager check, my ability to ferret out free food grade ibc totes 8 I built my 10x28 leanto just for meat chickens and to set up water collection now I am getting gutters, pipes, 2 clean out pipes and breathing valves, setting them up on concrete blocks which I must concrete together and fill since doing 3 blocks tall to give me pressure for my auto watering system for my 100 ft x 150 ft above ground beds. It all cost $ hubby thinks I am crazy and won’t help so it takes me so long to do each project but that’s ok I still get it done. I might be crazy but if that’s the case why does everyone want to run to me if SHTF? Crazy for my garden till now groceries are so high, really stupid because I process my meat chickens but all ask me if I can give them some chicken meat but don’t want to help with feed or processing just want me to hand it over vacuum sealed like grocery store 🙄 I help my mom, daughter as I have grand babies but the rest I tell them no work 2 jobs 🤨 it’s what I did for years b4 I got my place, still bust tail here but I don’t worry about food.

Thanks for the tour. We're getting close to setting up our permanent system. So it's always cool to see what others are doing.

[@TheWonderwy]

I love the idea of the Amish hot water heater. I've actually have it circled in my Lehmans catalog! Hah! Love my catalog! Thanks for the educational tour, Doug. You have good reason to be proud of this system. You have put a lot of work and brain power into this. I hope to benefit from your experience.

[@GilbertNichols]

I wonder if you had ever considered helping missionaries who go to countries where rainwater might be plentiful but knowledge how to collect and store and provide for home use is in very short supply? This is great information!

[@stevepailet8258]

just an FYI for those thinking about this you get about 0.4 pounds of pressure per foot of Height of the tank above the outlet. so if your land were to allow you 50 foot above then you would be getting 20 pounds of pressure. I like to use a sediment filter first to help keep the charcoal filter clean a bit longer. For those who would like to see other version look up earthship wom. Works the same but allows for more pressure if you do not have enough fall to provide enough pressure.

[@YadaYadaBingBang]

Yes, typically 5µm (largest holes) goes first to block the big stuff, then 1µm blocks the smaller stuff that doesn't get trapped by the 5µm, then the carbon filter. This would mean water should be free of debris before it hits the carbon filter and the carbon filter wouldn't be doing the work of the sediment filters.

[@loverunsrampant6177]

[@hotwheels0114]

I worked off and on for my dad, as he needed me to, since I was about 7. He has been a master water well driller and septic installer in TX for close to 45 years now. When we set up filter systems similar to the one you have, we always put the particulate filters before the carbon filters. Basically it removes the sediment that would normally clog the carbon filters allowing it to efficiently remove the impurities and minerals the sediment filters cannot. There is nothing wrong with the way yours is set up but in a more aggressive water environment, one with more dust, dirt, pollen, iron oxide from pipe fittings or off the roof and gutter hardware, etc. the carbon filters would need to be changed much more frequently. Certain areas we noticed have greater concentration of particulate in the rain itself that would need filtration prior to drinking. Most minerals from rain water won't hurt people, the biggest concern we came across was coliform. Just a few things I learned from him. I really enjoy seeing how y'all do things there and am adapting some of them to my tiny ranch in western PA. God bless and God speed.

[@danielleterry2331]

Hey Doug! I have been a service plumber for 15 yrs. I highly recommend a sediment filter before the carbon filter to help prolong the life of the carbon. Have you tried this? Forgive me if you have.

I watched you build all of this in the past, but this was a good refresher. Our property might get half the rain you get and all of our buildings are going to be really small so rain catchment will be just for small animals and maybe landscaping plants. We went with a well finally after waiting so long for a company to brave our road AND it went a lot deeper than anyone predicted. $$$$ can you say Goodbye tractor fund? So we will be using a gravity fed system, but from a well pumping the tanks full up the hill. I have some videos about some of this on my channel with more to come someday..

This is so informative. I lived at a place with a cistern and the water was awful. The owners sold it. I'm going to look into rain water catchment. I have a well now and I'm worried about losing power now. Ty for all this valuable information

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

You have a wonderful system!!! I too use rain for all my water needs(almost 2yrs. now). I only require water for household(myself), chickens and gardening/greenhouse (so fa)r so my system is much smaller (600 gal) than yours (we get 50-60"/yr rain). I wish I could do a gravity feed system but I'd have to build a platform 8-10' off the ground for my storage tank to get the height and head pressure, not to mention water sometimes freezes here in Tennessee which means I'd also have to insulate it and I'm on a very tight budget..... so I opted for a shallow well pump and a cistern in the ground. I haven't given up on the gravity feed, when I can figure it all out and get the money for materials I may just build a building 10' off the ground and save my pump for back up?
