That equalizer fitting should be at least 3/4 id of you want the extra drum to keep up. It really only matters at the bottom end of the barrel. Great video!
Don't suppose you have a quick link for the bigger hose you would have used and fitting? Thanks for the vid, I'll be doing the same thing this weekend!
amzn.to/3w1NndB amzn.to/3pjzfZj This is what I will probably use to upgrade to a larger size (from 1/2 to 3/4). I could not find the press fittings alone online.
@@roothomestead4504 Thabk you so much for the feedback!! So then how would i feed the hose through it and make it fit. I have both bungs on the top and they’ll be facing me when i turn them sideways. Are you saying i take one of the bungs out and fit the hosing or do i drill into the bungs and get fittings like you have? Sorry for all the questions Im very interested but i dont wanna spend 500+ on a 100 gallon detailing tank 😂😂
I personally have not turned the barrels on their side so I am not sure. The link I shared is for a faucet that fits right in the existing hole without drilling. But not sure it is the placement you are looking for. Sorry I am not more help.
It has froze a couple times. But with the birds in there and the heat lamps we use it has stayed warm enough for the most part. My next barn will be better insulated.

You are right. I'm hindsight I would have done 3/4.
Great idea, I’ll be using your setup. Thank you!
Great job!!! The only thing I would add is a short garden hose so it will be easier to fill the jugs
I have thought about that. Thanks
Good job. I a big fan.
Thanks Isaac!
Top stuff!

Good job! I'm going to copy your setup!
Thank you! The only thing I would have done differently is to do a larger tube between the two barrels so it would equalize quicker.
@@roothomestead4504 thanks for the heads up on using a bigger tube.
Put a regular 3/4 ball valve on there. It will MUCH faster
You are right. Hindsight is 20/20.
Would i be able to do this if my barrels were sideways instead of standing. i do auto detailing and they fit in my truck like that better.
Yes for sure. You don't even need to drill if you have the port holes.

What keeps it from freezing
It has froze a couple times. But with the birds in there and the heat lamps we use it has stayed warm enough for the most part. My next barn will be better insulated.
How did you get the water in the barrel from inside of a metal shed?
We have a hose about 30 feet away. We fill it up about once a month.
How did you remove the shavings from your drilling.
Honestly I just rinsed it out with a couple gallons of water. Didn't do too much.
