Good job!!! You got it done and thats what counts!!! In the future you could hook up a 12v pump (run off your truck) with a drinking water quality hose!! The lenth will be shorter because you eont need gravity!! good luck and keep up the good work!!!😊
If you have a well planned for the future, I'd just continue the same way until then. However if this is going to be your water source for the long run, I'd consider installing permanent (buried) PVC seperate water lines from your high point down to each of your storage tanks. For maximum efficiency (speed) the pvc pipe shouldn't be smaller than the biggest outlet valve on the IBC tote. Also any hose(s) that you would then use should also be larger than the garden hoses. In addition, one small bit of advice if you do put in permanent piping: Make sure that you cap the inlet side to make sure that no critters move in between filling operations. Just had an additonal thought: Is there any reason that you don't have the two tanks inter connected? It's the same water isn't it? If you want, we could start an e-dialogue and I'd be happy to send along more ideas once I know a bit more about your plans and setup there. (s) TerryE (Arizona)
Thank you for the awesome ideas! Your input about using something larger than a garden hose makes a lot of sense. I am so grateful that you took the time to share details with me! Thanks, again.
I am also an off grider in the Idaho panhandle. Welcome to the life style. You have a lot to do and learn. I want you to be a successful you tuber; working on your camera skills will help. Also, mentioning your name and the area you are in would be a good personal touch. Wish you well.
Thank you for the helpful advice. I will work on improving my camera skills. Including my name in each video is totally something I should have been doing already. Thanks again!
Hi Frost. Thanks, so much, for the kind words. It means a lot. I don't have any videos about the solar or electrical in general. I will work on making one!
@@walkerg425 you mean black water? We don’t. Composting toilet. If you mean grey water, like from the shower- it waters the grass 😃 thanks for watching!

Hi, just came across your video. I must say you’re a very brave woman. Do you have any videos on your solar system? By the say I’m Frost.

@@windyhomestead Hi, sounds good. Hope you’re staying cool. Be safe.
@@oscarverduzcojr.5687 you too. :) Take care.
Interested in if you use a septic system
@@walkerg425 no septic system here. Not that I am opposed. Just don’t have one. Someday…
@@windyhomestead what do you use for waste disposals
