We thank you for supporting the channel! We are working on editing part 2 of the Fall update and waiting to put out the biochar making video until we have enough wood to make a batch. Watermelon stix video coming mid week. We hope everyone has a wonderful week 😁
Wow this is the exact video I needed to see. I never even knew what IBC stood for, or that there were 3 different types of valves on them. Thank you for making this video!
Ja doma ibc kontejner i potrgao mu se ispusni ventil za vodu kupio sam isti takav crni ventil ali bio na camlock pa sam postavio camlock spojnicu na 11/4 cola ženski navoj
There’s a lot of variables. Maybe a foil seal not removed? No water in tank? Broken valve that doesn’t open even if handle turns? Hose has kink or obstruction inside? Gravity temporarily out of order? If you figure it out please share. So I can sleep tonight.
The Nashville area should have a large surplus of these IBC tanks. I think that sounds like a great solution. Thanks for watching! Do you guys plan to go to the meetup again this year?
@@conradhomestead4518 Yes I found a bunch of them for 50 bucks and 55 gal rain food grade barrels to for 20. Yes we are going to the picnic hope to see you there again.
That 3rd tank is a device called a camlock. The tank typically has a male camlock and what you need to connect is a female camlock. They work extremely well and won’t leak even under pressure.
Sounds real good. The idea behind this is a “universal “ solution. Thanks for the information. I’m sure it will help someone. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
My IBC tote has same scenario as #3 presented here. Rather than rely on the few threads present or the hose clamp method, I opted for positive mechanical connections throughout: D200 Camlock (2" Female NPT) - polypropylene reducer bushing reducer 2 x 3/4" - nylon 3/4" male adapter to garden hose adapter as used in the video - brass
Happy hunting! I believe these are a great value for water storage. Alot of beverage companies and distilleries go through a lot of these containers. In Arizona I could get them cheap from a bottling company. Thanks for watching!
I have a type 2. The coarse threads didn't inspire much confidence for using a leak proof adapter. This looks waaay better. ETA - 2 inch rubber sleeve was too big for my type 2 tote.
Thank you for the video I have the black 3rd type plan on using 10 330-gallon tanks for my irrigation water that I'm only able to use once a week. Now how about showing how to but something in the top to connect 2" PVC pipe.
I have done this the hard way many times on many tanks and the final iteration I got was like this but not as good. This is the best way to do this people!!
2:29 That ‘divot’ actually is sized to fit 2” cam-lock fittings. They are pricy (about $17-$20 where I live) but if you need to disassemble your system semi-regularly they are worth it, as you don’t risk stripping out the plastic threads with repeated use. I use them as I have to drain and break down and store my entire setup for winter in Montana.
@@conradhomestead4518 You are very welcome. After watching, I went to HD, bought what I needed and in less than 20 minutes installed the adapter as you demonstrated so well to my 330 gal food grade water tote. Working like a charm. Blessings from NW Georgia!
What kind of system are you planning? Beverage companies and distilleries are good sources. We have quite a few distilleries within an hour of us. Thanks for for watching Chad and family!
Conrad Homestead well we are actually going to put in a shallow well for now . We’ve been using just rainwater catchment but our 4 55 gallon barrels just isn’t cutting it for our family of six and our animals. When it rains our barrels overfill and just goes on the ground. Just need bigger containers. But winter is coming and all the rain water catchment systems will be useless for months!
Winter does make water collection more difficult. The ball valves have the issues with cracking in freezes. I’m thinking of placing a few IBCs in an insulated shed. Get what you can done before it’s too cold👍 We have few winter prep projects to get to.
