Today I'm installing an IBC tote Rainwater Harvesting system (with First Flush) for Wyndy, our wild mustang! In the video I'll show you how I set up the PVC Gutter Run Piping, link the IBC totes, assemble a ball valve, create a DIY first flush system and talk about options for a stand for platform for the IBC totes to be raised up for easier usage. And then as always, I'll ramble on about this that and the other ;)
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!

I set up an IBC tote for rainwater harvesting for additional plant irrigation about 3 months ago....still waiting for rain here in Phoenix... Let's hope we have a good monsoon season!

I guess fruits needs water even if they don't exist.

I had not much issues with alga the first season with a new clean tote but every other season after that it usually gets quite bad at the end of the summer. Pressure washing it in the spring helps but it's really difficult to fit the washer handle inside the tote so the upper section usually doesn't get cleaned as well as the lower part. It's okay tho because I'm only using it to water plants. Also those +200 gallons are surprisingly quickly used when it stops raining for a month. I should get another.

I say "potable" the same way. lol. That's how everyone says it where I grew up. Always enjoy seeing your creations. Great job!!

Another fine job complete. You always take pride in your work and it shows thru in the videos even when just making a water collection system. I was a bit surprised that you didnt Tee off with an automatic fill/float valve for the water that is in the Horse Pen, so you don't have to transport the water using the bucket.

If you set that up right you have a personal water towel and won't need a pump because off the weight of the water

Just a thought. If you get leaves and debris caught and matted on the upper screen mesh, you might find that as water pours out of the roof gutter that it will deflect off the debris and splash over the sides of the pipe thus losing it.

Great project. If you’ve got a system that works there isn’t any reason to change it. I can just image what came out of your mouth when the dauber hit the ground… not only did it happen but you have video proof that it jumped out of your hand. Thanks for sharing!

Thought I would get my "thumbs up" in before everyone else - since I expect this to be another awesome video!!! 😃

Just excellent. The way you button up and complete things to create a beautiful, finished appearance is VERY appealing!

@CowboyJeffSmith

Your rainwater videos has enabled me to setup my whole house system, livestock water system and even my cabin water system. Thank you so much for such clear understandable content. God bless you!

Great job on another rain water harvesting project. There is a glue that let you bond PVC to ABS.

I don't know you, but I can tell you're a good man. I'll be retiring off grid to Cochise County in the future. Your videos will definitely come in handy. Thanks!
