Yes, avoid taking ground water whenever possible. Collapsing an aquifer is a very bad idea.

I too like the filtering sock but I'd put the sock on exit that way it's easier to clean and a lot of the bigger particals will drop off in the settling tank

Excellent system....I love the idea that your filter leave lock from the roof top, then that screen sock before it goes in your storage tank, then the two filter and ultra violet purifier before the water goes in the house...that 's fantastic..👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍

Loved the idea and would love to implement thr system. But it would cost more than $25k+ to install all that system. Isn't it better to subscribe to the city water and pay $40 a month... just to break even, one would have to wait more than 625 months. Or 52 years....

WOW what an awesome system. Wish I had the time, money and yard for something like this. I am looking to do something that will hold a few hundred gallons and collect water from my gutters. I need to figure out how to cut the debris down that will get washed into my holding tank. I'd like to use this for emergency drinking water. I should be able to the put water into my Hydro Blu tank, run it through my bacteria and virus filter to clean it and my charcoal filter for taste improvement.

Excellent system. My engineering sense suggests that the UV system does very little, especially relative to the electricity it requires. But the rest of the system is absolutely first rate.

My family is on rainwater, as a family of 4 we use around 1000L a week most weeks in dry times. Quick showers and very water efficient washing machine and toilet, no dishwasher. Our issue is we skirt the minimum input for our waste water treatment plant.
@friendlyoldbum9182

@Keyzer Soze We built a 4 bedroom home and as per the QLD regs we need a septic or waste water treatment plant that can cater to 2 person per room. So our treatment/ recycling plant is designed to be efficient with the water use of 8 people. My partner, 2 young children and myself struggle to use enough water to meet the minimum input requirement of the system (on paper anyway). Our toilet uses 3l per flush, shower head is 5l a min (the pressure through the throttled rubber tips makes it suprisingly effective, damn near a massage) we hand wash dishes and utensils after every meal and use/ waste minimum water. We only have rain water storage (75kl) in a relatively dry rural area. We have a large dam used for yard irrigation , gardens and vegies.

@Keyzer Soze The system requires a certain L per day input so that it can cycle through its aerobic and anaerobic chambers to effectively break down waste water into a reusable grey water. The reason we struggle ∆

I heard that pure water will corrode copper pipes. Someone I know with a rainwater harvest system adds some limestone to his first tank to give the water some mineral content.
@michaelcohen9363
2 жыл бұрын
It's not pure water that's being pumped, there's still impurities from the atmosphere and such. Also, with a system like this you don't need to use copper pipes. You can add limestone but it won't do anything in this instance since he's using mostly plastic tubing. BTW, nice picture of the Ice Man Kuklinski!

Probably would. I'd imagine those of us in cold climates would have these tanks in our basements. So, the whole system just goes straight from the roof into our house down into the basement.

I noticed in the video that he says "25 years from 1990"...was this video made in 1990? The published date is simply when someone put it up. Is he still alive does anyone know? This is one of the best water collection videos I've seen. I love his little "pump house" and I someday would love to combine a power station (with all the solar equipment and other things along those lines) with a pump house like his. Well done!
