I would like to see shots of your entire system. Also, individual photos of each part and what they are called. Your system looks well designed and I would love to see a step by step video. Thanks so much, it looks great!
Those are each 275 gallon totes. He has 6 totes, making the total gallons 1650!!! If they were 330 gallon totes, that would be a total of 1980 gallons!!
Very cool. Do you ever have flush them out or does using the water sufficiently clean out the tanks? Do you need to heat them or empty them in the winter?
Overflow from the top layer is not sufficient to counteract the backflow from the bottom rows if the top valve stay closed. Overflow from the top layers should be directed to the top opening of one of the bottom IBCs.
I'm not sure where the property is, but here in the northwest, the months from July through September get very little rain. People who live in my neck of the woods and are serious about growing. Treat the summer months as if it were a Mediterranean climate. So, for us, six totes won't be enough. Better than nothing though
they look like 275 gal totes which makes it 1650 Gals. if there 330 gal then you got 1980. Great Vid though, looking to connect 20 totes and connect my house via a shallow well pump

This looks very well thought out. Thank you!
The last time I calculated 6 IBC 330 gal. totes was just shy of 2000 gallons. Nice set up tho!👍
1 ibc got 1m2 of woa dude
Did I hear the video correctly that 6 IBC somehow equal 4,400 gallons?
Just as confused. My 1200 gallons look like ants.
It’s probably 1,920 gallons.

He’s close. Notice he is filling to the top. 375 Mark is way down on mine. A little over half full
@@johnb6371 So, where do you buy these totes? And what do they cost? Thanks!

That's about 1800kg per column. What sort of foundation did you put under each column ?
Really nice setup! What did you use to wrap the IBC bottles, just black plastic?
yep just large black plastic sheets and black duct tape
Great system

How did you deal with the air in the bottom tanks? When they fill they would expand unless the air can escape?
We leave the caps on the top of the totes unscrewed with mesh over them so air can escape

@@elliottpeabody1287 I believe we found them on facebook marketplace. This entire system including the totes, plumbing etc was around $900
@@PierceLamb Thx! I don't participate on that social media SPY platform.
Best regards.
Amazing.
all that to water a 12x12 garden. Wow

It can’t be 4400 Gal , most likely around 2200gal
Yeah I think you’re right. Not sure what I was thinking when I made the vid
No problem! Great video, short to the point! I’m looking into the same setup with a transfer pump
