Best Way To Pump Water From A Creek: Off Grid Tiny House 

Nice simple setup. Plan on doing the same. My entire house is on a cistern and when summer comes water is expensive to have delivered

Nice setup and video! Thanks.

Very helpful! Thank you for the video

Have thought about doing this for a while. Helpful af thanks

Very cool .

Very helpful that’s you

its hard to tell from your video but i cant help but think you could try a ram pump . going 24/7 and when it has filled your totes then the overflow could go back into the creek

Thank you for the video. I'm thinking about buying an off grid tiny house with a submersible pump. What do you do during winter? Does the creek freeze over?

i use a battery powered milwaukee transfer pump to do this

Thank you for this video. I need emergency water from lake just to do garden, showering, NOT cooking from time to time. I will put an filter on it. The garden hose coupler are the deal. Are they at a box store like Home Depot. Bama Fishin B

Dude not the pyrex 😆

Does anyone know if it's possible run pvc to a creek. With a standard pond filter intake box on the creek end, and a cast iron hand pump by the house? What I'm asking is, can a hand pump pull water at a 45 degree angle about 200 feet? I want a way to get creek water to my back yard with zero electricity. Can a hand pump even do this?

How far is it pumping the water?

Curious about the ryobi generator. Kinda looks like is supposed to be a quiet generator like the Honda eu2200 series which is a hefty price. Your ryobi didn’t sound very quiet but curious if it’s a quiet model. Honda is just too darn expensive.

I have a ravine with running water that comes straight off of the corn and bean fields. Would you water your vegetable and fruit garden? They usually don't spray fertilizers until the end of summer. That's my only concern.

How do you then pump from the cisterns into the cabin for use? We are figuring out options for our off grid cabin - we are on a river with only solar so we have some options but not a ton

How far are you on the earthship.

Tiny house but stupid big generator?😂

You should paint your tanks black. I have the same system as you and I never use bleach because nothing grows inside my tanks because they are black and enclosed.
