Serious question. Why don't you need an overflow? I'm getting ready to put my system together, and the vast majority has them?

Nice system. Next time, take shots of yourself building it and make a video about how you did it. That's why people are here.

how are you using your water for this setup? just using gravity pressure for garden hose or did you ever happen to set up drip irrigation off of it? im planning on drip but am wondering if the pressure is going to be enough, or even too much pressure, and ill have to have a pressure regulator?

You have nice garden. I have a question, I see you only use one gutter hose hook up to rain barrel. Does water automatically fill up other barrels or you move gutter hose to other barrels when one is full?

Put a pipe thread adapter as well as a T on the last barrel that way no cutting all you do is remove the cap or plug from the end thread another adapter on and add more barrels no wasted pipe or fittings

11 years late, I know... but just for shits I'm gonna ask my question. I have 2 barrels I'm about to do this very thing with. Was there sediment collected on the bottom of the barrels that interfered with the valves to the manifold being on the bottom? All the videos I've seen are of the manifold valves being a few inches up on the side of the barrels. Just curious because I'd like to do it the way you did it.

I did this with 2 barrels...is there a reason my 1st barrel is now about 20% full and the second barrel is still almost empty? Does the 1st barrel have to get to a certain level before second starts to fill up?
@DeHizzy420

You have have just answered the question I just asked. Do you have your valves to the manifold on the bottom of the barrels like in the video as opposed to being a few inches up on the side? You may have sediment that clogged the manifold. All the other videos I've seen have the valves for the manifold a few inches up on the side of the barrel..

So do you not need a vent tube to allow air to escape as the water fills? Awesome setup by the way. will be doing the same.

I am building the same type of system now, but I am using black barrels to prevent sunlight from entering the barrels causing algae growth. I also decided to cover the basket strainer with a cloth paint strainer to keep even small debris from entering the barrels. I need to find bungs like you are using that will accept the 3/4" male adapter, the ones that came on the barrels that I have do not offer that, so I was going to connect them all together using 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe so that it would fit the bung opening.

I think you meant to say "in parallel" and not "in series." Your manifold system has your barrels in parallel.

I used a wire sleeve from Lowe's or HD for putting on a water hose to filter the water coming from the washing machine when it drains. About three per package. They filter the leaves and stuff from the down spout diverter hose. . Easy to change.

I did it! Thank you for all your instructions. I constructed a manifold system just like yours. I love my new rain barrel system. I need to put in an overflow valve. Need to figure that out. First barrel, last barrel or all barrels? Out the side? I'm proud of my project.

Been a few years since I first saw you vid and I finally got around to my build, based on your design. I built a similar 2-barrell system that works perfectly. I used a 2" threaded fitting in the bung, but all else is a replica of your setup. Neat, reliable, easily expandable, and leak-free. PERFECT!Thanks again, bud.

hi, thanks for the post. I've watch loads of other systems and there are some tips from them that my assist you (and others) 1. use mesh on your flower pot device. 2. use union joints on the down pipe. This way you can remove individual barrels in case of repair etc. 3. do you have a 1st flush?

Nice set up. Your tanks are in parallel not series. Parallel they all fill at the same time. in series the would fill one and a time. You didn't mention it, but I assume you had to vent the three barrels that are not open to the atmosphere.
