Filter is clever...will copy that - looks like a Henry Hoover one.

You dug it BY HAND? That’s staggering by itself. And you saved a bundle in labor! Anything you’d change if you could?

@@ultraali453 filter? It's a rain collection. Filter should be at the end of the roof rain gutter.

I like your filter to take out leafs etc before the water enters the tank, I'd like to put such a filter in a 5,000ltr tank, where did you get that filter from?

the filter came with the tank, an option I selected to buy when I was ordering the tank online.

Clearly you do not live where the ground freezes. Our average winter frost depth level is about 3m (10ft). We would need to keep the top of the tank below that or risk a very large ice cube ruining everything. Sometimes frost is still evident at 2m down in July. Just saying... Cheers from northern Canada.

Wow. 3m frost depth is pretty insane. Over here 0,6m down is considered safe from freezing for water or sewage piping. My tank is well below that level. Last 10 year I hardly remember ground being frozen 10cm deep. Our winter minimum was -8C this year :-) Water tank for rain water in northern Canada is probably not a topic. Should be plenty of water there, right? I am collecting rain water to water my garden as I feel sorry to use a drinking water for that.

@@tomascenek4651 It's true. We do have plenty of water here. Our well is in an aquifer, but it is very hard and much iron; a water softener is necessary and we drink it right from the tap without issue. We tried the whole rainwater collection thing because the water is so hard that it leaves water spots on the plants; drip irrigation was the answer. However, we got an early and very unexpected cold snap lasting several days that destroyed most of my drip system including the barrel. It's a challenge, to be sure. Thanks for the reply to us here in northern Alberta, Canada. By the way, it is not uncommon for us to get -30°C or colder for several weeks in a row (during the winter only, for those unfamiliar with Canada). Keep safe...

i know this video is over 3 years old might, but you might wanna make sure you have good enough filters that microplastics won't pass through, since rainwater is now globally considered unsafe for human consumption

I can not imagin you did this by personally digging ........

Price ?

Thank goodness I am Scottish, if a black cat is in my bed I have better dreams

Tank

Why does it need to be that deep? Looks like a good meter of dirt over the top of the tank.

the overflow exit level defined the overall depth, I simply had to be over the drain pipe level with it in order to maintain the slope. The second reason is the frost line.

@@tomascenek4651 Here in Idaho, with a frost line about 32", if the bulk of the tank is below that line, it will prevent any of the tank contents above that line from freezing. In other words, the top of the tank does not have to be below the frost line.
