John 3:16-21:
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
Thank you for having a video that makes it easy to follow. I am trying to do this without the help of my hubs. He always comes to my rescue when I get stuck on my projects but for once, I want to do it on my own.
Super useful video. Thanks for the parts list.
The best IBC video ! Thank you sir
Thankful that it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video! I have the same size IBC threads as you and was wasn't having luck finding matching parts. Problem solved! Bless you
Glad we could be of help!
Awesome job! So glad we can use the rainwater with a hose now instead of making multiple trips with the watering can!
Thank you and glad its been helpful!
Great idea, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great job; terrific video...easy to follow.
Glad it helps you out. Thanks for stopping by!
@@HomesteadersOnTheHill You're welcome . . .I get my tote on Tuesday and can't wait to set it up as a gravity feed system for my greenhouse.
That sure does make life easier!!
Great job! Curious, I don't see an overflow pipe on this setup. It would just leak out through the upper lid and into the plastic
That is correct. It’s not often that it overflows as we use it quite often. I have not created a relief valve or diverter in case the tote gets full but would be a good idea. I just have a few relief holes drilled in the top red cap to allow pressure and water to escape when full.
@@HomesteadersOnTheHill Very nice. Make sense. I noticed also the tank is pretty close to your home (water pooling near foundation) but sounds like it doesn't overflow often. Great job.
Does it give decent pressure to connect to a trvl trlr to act like a city water connection or run threw hose for garden,maybe not a sprinkler but hand water...?
If you have it high enough up and have it gravity fed there is enough pressure to run out of the hose at a good speed but not able to put through a spray nozzle without a pump. Thanks for stopping by!
Brother, thank youuuu!!!!!
You are welcome! Very glad you found this video helpful!
You posted the wrong adapter. Can you please share the exact one you used?
Donde puedo conseguir esos adaptadores para convertir de medida y poner un grifo de 1/2
Perfect, where did you find that adapter? I bought 2 used totes and some adapters off Amazon, only to find out one of the totes had the odd 2.125" thread... there is nothing to be found for that size in the US.

I found on Amazon and actually found one at TSC the other day. Worked out well. Hope you’re able to get it going
Thanks
Glad to be of help! Thank you for watching!
Great video. What is the the black clamp fitting that you used?

It’s an adapter to fit over the 2” IBC tote spout and then being able to covert that with fittings over to use garden hoses. Thanks for stopping by!
Muito bom.esses Registro muda de um para o outro
What kind of fittings would I need to hook my 500 gallon tank with a 2 inch outlet to a pressure washer
I'm sorry I don't have a good answer for you on that one. I believe these are 2" cam couplers but not sure what step downs you would need to make it adaptable to your pressure washer system.
Could you please post a parts list so I can order these parts and make my tote work like that? Thank you!
Did you get a parts list. I have so many adapters I have bought for none to work
What is the purpose of yhe black plastic on the tote?
The plastic is to keep algae from forming. With direct sunlight and warm days, green algae can form and will form very easily and wrapping the totes in black plastic keep that from happening. It may not be a concern for some people but I use this water for the animals mostly and also if I ever needed to drink from it as well, I would run it through our Berkey filter and I don't particularly want algae infested water if I can help it. Thanks for stopping by!
to keep algae from growing inside - it's kind of mandatory for long term use
Thanks Bro...
Absolutely!
Dont tighten the tap so much it will cut the washer
