Learn from my mistakes! You do NOT have to make the same mistakes. This RainWater Harvesting Lessons Learned video outlines some of the mistakes I made when putting in a rain water harvesting system so you can learn from my mistakes. This video covers how to properly bend downspouts, sizing of the first flush system drainage holes, moving water away from structures, use extra glue on your first flush system, design an overflow mechanism into your system, paint the totes black, and put bigger holes in the IBC Tote caps.
