    This is one of the best explanations of how, and why to do these very specific things. Thanks for the great video I’m now subscribing. I’m about to move to an off grid location in MO and I’m going to have to set up a system like this to have any water at all so this is extremely helpful.

      Thanks very much. Best of luck with your off-grid living... exciting times ahead. Let us know how thing are going as you build your system.

      Hi Dale, thanks. Yeah... having your own pumped water backup is really nice.

    Thanks for showing and explaining so well. I never fully grasped the first flush set-up before watching your video.

      You're welcome. Glad I was able to help.

    If you don't have the height for a larger collection pipe I guess you could always have two in series?

    • @GrantBurton

      Do you mean the collector pipe that has the ball inside and catches all the dirty water? or the pipe that feeds water form the gutter into the top of the rainhead / leaf catcher?

    Fine as long as you only have one downpipe going into your system. I have around 10 on two large roofs. Leaf eaters are fine. But first flush on each one? What would you do?

    How do you fix dirty water coming from your tank

    • @GrantBurton

      Hi Audrey, you could install a set of water filters on the outlet side of your pump. Depending on what you want to do with the water, you could install a single stage sediment filter, a two stage filter (sediment + Carbon block filter) or a three stage filter (two sediment filters and one carbon block filter). Here is a video about filters ua-cam.com/video/layYqEYAiH8/v-deo.htmlsi=hr3cCZo0H2nEZJzX and here is another ua-cam.com/video/DermXBtJMfI/v-deo.htmlsi=UM33puqwRi8Zr9JR
      Hope this helps.
