Nice setup, thanks for info.

This is exactly what I was looking for . Thank u

Very nice! Thank you for this off grid diy video

Thank you very much, this was exactly what I was looking for.

Ive built a rather extreme solar power system for my off grid travel trailer we stay in while not in the semi truck but im now wanting a good water system. Thanks for the video

I thought I just heard you say the Adirondacks. I live in the southern Adirondacks. Lake George ny. Very cool

Well done video. I've got 2 ibc totes I draw from and fill my onboard tank in my rv. I'm going to try hooking the 2 tanks together and then using this pump into my city water feed. Thanks for the video!!

Do you have black totes to keep algae away?

@@desertcamel6685 I painted mine originally and that has worked. I also ended up purchasing some ibc covers from amazon after i painted them but if you put those on you can't tell how much water you have left. So painting was all I needed to do.

This is absolutely a great video in the video you mentioned that you have a local guy that delivers water, can you tell me more about that

Cool video.... can you tell me where your other video is showing how you bring the water into the cabin and the fixtures there? I can't seem to find it? Thanks!

Awesome explanation! I'm looking to install a standalone water system for our chicken coop and garden with a buried tank. My question is, do you have any experience with these pumps hooked up to a float type valve? I would need that to fill the chicken's water reservoir. I'm trying to not need to include float switches and control circuits if needed, just not sure how this pump will do with a slow draw like a float valve does and concerned about the pump switching on and off all the time. Also considering just adding a small pressure tank to help with this small draw.

if you have power, is it solar? i may have missed it.. i thought you were off grid. great water situation.. we actually have the same pump, i use for my rain barrels to my camper.

Why not rainwater tanks?

I have an idea to basically double down on reducing the water tank to sunlight… hence the undesirable sequelae…. What ya think about painting the entire tank black?? ….

Can i use this to pump water straight from a river into tank/house?

Did you use a standard pallet under your IBC Tote or was it larger? Just wondering how you built your shed around it.

Where do you fill them when off grid

Hey man I want to use the lake water that’s 30 ft from my Trailer can I use that with lake water?

Is there enough pressure for a shower?

Can you still drink it after adding the bleach?

Does any kind of bleach include scented?

Quick question, but if the fresh water tank is already full; can you still pump water into the camper via city water connection? I just tried hooking up the hose to the city water port on my camper and water began spraying everywhere as soon as the pump kicked on. For the record, I’m also using a seaflo water pump. It’s pretty much the exact same model but it doesn’t have the regular plug like OP’s model. Instead, it has the positive and negative wires that hook up to a battery.

There's a local that owns an artisian well and delivers water. He uses one of these tanks in the back of a pickup along with a gas water pump. Takes him about 8 minutes to fill me up.

How long does 275 gallons last under normal usage ya think?

does that on demand pump have to be close to water? can it be further and connected to supply by a longer hose? ie: indoors, climate controlled

Any issues with freezing?

I don't use this system in the winter. The hoses would definitely freeze. In my old cabin we kept a 55 gallon water tank in the loft. This would benefit from the heat we used in the cabin to avoid freezing while still giving you "running" water.

Forgive my ignorance, this is not for potable water but rather grey?

This is potable. We get the water delivered from a local artesian well. I’m hoping to do a point well video in the near future so we can have water right on the property

What was stored in your tote? We bought 1 for cheap but labels were ripped off so i'm assuming chemicals. How would you clean these to at least be good enough to use to wash hands/shower/garden?

If water leaks it will leak in the motor
