When we found the perfect location to start our down town micro farm, with just over two acres of beautiful useable land and a cute little farm house it all began. We moved in late June immediately working on transforming the 80 Ft by 80 yard into a garden. We first started using garden hoses with a filter attached because of high (chlorine levels), but this became really costly and the filter only lasted less than two weeks and water bill was out of control. We had always wanted a rain water system this was proof we could not afford not to have one. When upgrading our yard to a rain water system we decided to bury one inch lines so we can have spigots throughout the yard without having without having 150 feet of garden hose from the house to trip over! Once we had a few friends over and they saw system and starting about their water bills / watering bans and course conserving water to save our environment and realized we had to share these water systems with others.

THANK YOU!! Finally someone who understands that painting a tote Black is the silliest thing you can do !! It doesnt reflect sunlight its absorbs it !!

@dardobartoli Год назад

But the algae requires light to function..not heat! So it can absorb all the light it likes but none is getting through.

Your video inspired me. I used Loctite spray can of heat and water resistant glue like 3M weatherstrip to hold plain old aluminum foil which blocks 100 percent of sunlight.

So i painted mine this color, but i drop bags over them in the winter to help keep them from freezing

Flaking off after two years is not very desirable. I painted mine some year and a half ago with Aqua Blue because that was the left over paint. I did apply a good coat of undercoat before I spayed painted it with exterior paint. I see no visible flaking off. But I have to be careful not to scratch the paint as paint doesn't adhere to IBC plastic very well at all.

How much paint did it take to paint one tote?

@mauricetbm Год назад

Really appreciate the clear and concise explanation sir, thank you. Would you say the metal wrapped tanks would be the better choice, assuming price is acceptable? (I can get them for 50 bucks more)

@willslawns Год назад

yes BUT what was in it? I have never seen a food grade IBC tote "Metal Wrapped".

I looked at your other videos on your Channel to see if I could find a video on this topic and so far I haven't seen one. How do you keep the tote of water from freezing during the winter? I want to be able to hook something up so I have water in my currently dry cabin.
