Rain Collection - Demolition Ranch HQ Part 10 

I'm an Aussie who has tank water with none of the uv filters. Hasn't killed me yet. Mum and dad are now retired farmers and had tanks all there lives. They are in there 80s and still going strong.

"Meters? What's that? This is America." That line got you my sub right there!🇺🇸👍 And I found out about you from Off The Ranch.

You can hear Matt's mind thinking how he can get free water at the Abandoned mansion with it's large roof system.

Interesting to hear more specific's about legality of rainwater collection in different states.

Matt's playing dumb he has made one of these for his chicken coop. Lol

Matt's looking like yup I already knew that already 😆 I built one for the chickens🐔

We always called them cisterns. Every ranch house around Frio County had one and we still have one at our house. We washed clothes with the rain water and washed our hair with it also. The well water is very hard in that area. Makes a dang good pot of pinto beans too. I used to sneak a drink out of the faucet every now and then. The yard dog drank thousands of gallons of cistern water.

*WOW* !! *This rain collection system is COOL* !! #TexasBarndominiums

What I like about you is you always ask a lot of questions because who knows what people might want to ask just because the same questions are always asked doesn't mean somebody might not have a different question that's what I like the way you do your shows

Is that water tank bullet proof? Maybe we’ll find out on another channel. 😉

He needs to put collection on his new house he is building

Very informative!

Very Cool rain collection system.

Butt fusion welded outlet pipe. High strength buttressed tank, really good quality system matt. As a former poly-prop plastic fitter I appreciate seeing good quality work.

Awesome! Grandma did rain water collection for her garden back in the day! Old timers knew best! Props to Matt and TX barn builders for using the rain water collection. Hope you use this environmental friendly rain collection on more builds in the future! Cheers from the ATL!

"Whats a METER?" 😂😂😂

I used Rainwater direct from My Rainwater Tanks for over 40 Years and simply Boiled it most of the time, but now t always. I live in Adelaide, South Australia (the driest State on the driest Continent on Earth).

Guess what my peeps! You can never stop learning new things! Key to progress, of mind and body,

Nice to see the gentleman explaining the details. Solid information to learn the basics and who to contact. Thank you Erik.

That's awesome... Very cool! Ya'll stay safe!🌻

Who needs a gun when you have a tank

It's always fun to listen to two experts like Erik and Ron talk shop; being able to intelligently converse about their trades.

Matt seems so different when he's not the one holding the camera 📸

I can see a future for this with Texas barndominiums. Very interesting video thank you

Matt needs one of those for the mansion

That submersible water pump just up the ante on your Solar Power. We are off the Grid and have been since late 2017. We use a smaller 12 volt inline water pump that can be turned on or we can just use the water pressure from our 1,200 gal tank which we never really use since the pressure is fine w/o the pump. That pump your gonna be using is going to drain your power a lot period, and once you live off grid you'll understand wasted energy a lot more. I built our system from learning on my own watching youtube videos etc... We use two inverters one for the shop and the other for our home which we may end adding another inverter to but we have two systems so if I need extra power in my shop I do not interfere with the home energy storage. I built it this way kinda by accident but it has worked out great so far. One thing that we did that anyone can do is build your own battery bank, we used Lithium-ion batteries from a Ford C-Max "Energi." We used our business account through LKQ salvageyards and purchased the batteries at right at 100 dollars per Kilo watt or we paid $820 for 7.6 Kwh delivered to our door. We also bought our solar panels from Santan in GIlbert AZ, at a super great price. My wife and I want a Barndominium and we want the barn to be downstairs where the animals can live and we want to live upstairs. sounds crazy but honestly we are sick of people mostly Americans that do not know shit about their own country, like for instance, that so-called American Flag that your CEO (Trump) holds onto, you know the falg with that Gold/Yellow FRINGE all around it. If your in the Military or you served and you do not know what that is wow, and if your not then maybe you should learn what it is. America is owned by England and has been since at least 1868 and if you do not believe me look up Statutory Instruments 1997 No.1778 and see who owns your Social Security, who controls the Federal Codes that govern your America. These are sad times and things are going to get much worst and if you Americans would wake up and READ your own legal documents that govern your society then maybe you wouldn't be like sheep wearing a mask, that in-fact reduce the amounts of oxygen to unsafe levels as documented by OSHA when wearing one to about 17% when the normal levels for safe working environment is about 19.5%. Oh and another thing is those Smart Meters on your homes, do you American even know what they do, have you read the Disclaimers from your own power companies? No you probably have not b/c if you did you would not have that Life Killing instrument on your home. Take a Basel plant and put it next to your Smart Meter for 2 days and see what happens to it, in-fact put a video cam by it to record what it does when the EMF's shoot back and forth from it and the nearby towers, you can see it dying, shaking right before your eyes.

I'm surprised Matt didn't brag about his water collection tanks he made from scratch for his chicken coop.

This has to be the most ackward conversation I have ever seen...lol.

Been watching construction on both channels so its cool to watch.

very interesting thanks

Good immune systems around here buddy 👍🏻 no community transmission 😁 everything is open ✌🏼

Rain water engineer!!

The pump you guys picked out is awesome. Grundfos is one of the best pump manufacturers in the world

God bless you for giving real workers a job Gunit

Thank you for posting. The domestic water supply system here in New York (NYC and surrounding counties has been in place for a long time) Not sure how new construction works. "In whiskey there is truth in wine there is love in water there is bacteria" Not sure who said that line many years ago. Work safe

I am from Texas and moved to Park City Utah. They do have regulations against collecting rain water. I built my home and wanted a collector but was denied.

My head hurts with all this knowledge just taught to us...very good to beware of.

Neat point about no water spots on vehicles if using rainwater.

💓Fantastic way to get free water & cheaper than laying pipes... Solar panels are now needed for free electric💓

He finally got a tank !!!!

Easy peasy.

Building the new Demolition Drench.

Daryl Waltrip doppleganger with the water tank. wow.

You can actual drink from most rivers and streams in New Zealand just not near a dairy farm.

Interesting hearing about the UV treatment, most don't have or need that here in Australia.

Yes a good pump from a danish compagny, they are und 40 miles from my house (Grundfoss) 😉

Great video !!! 👨‍💻👨‍💻 if you're reading this... God bless you and YOURS !!! We will get through this TOGETHER !!! AMEN !!! 😷 🙏

Very interesting. I’m intrigued. GREAT video guys!

I love Texas!

Meter? What is that? Lol 😂 good one

LOVED this VIDEO! LOVE TO LEARN ABOUT WATER COLLECTION/SOLAR, OFF GRID SUBJECTS! THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS! 🙏🏻❤🇺🇲⛑⚓⛵

Wow Erik! Great video yet again!

It’s a huge wine barrel!

Washington is that way, too! (No collecting roof runoff) I guess the state would not live up to its name otherwise.

This was really cool! Never heard of this before.

Texas barndominiams

Finally, someone who knows the first syllable of potable rhymes with tote, not dot.

Australians (me) mostly use rain water for the garden or flushing the toilet, it's rare we'll use it for drinking. However, I wouldn't say it's uncommon as I have seen UV treatment system like the puretec filter system available.

Whooda Think it! This is so cool!

Tons of great info here. Thanks TB!

great stuff thanks for sharing as always!!

Loving the content ... wish you or Matt asked how long the tank slime lasted so we knew more on the possible annual cost to keep the tank good.

I said so!

Great video! How many tanks does ii take to stop a fifty BMG?! LOL

Thanks for the video

Okay now you have sold me on rainwater collection as well I think I might add an RO unit in combination with a UVC for drinking water,... a little Giardia never heard anybody, hahaha :-) Okay so how about this a 35 x 60 barndo with an additional L-shaped floor plan 35 by 35 garage in combination with a 35 by 35 pool area under roof.. or pool cage. With possibility of negotiating your first ICF barndo project :-)

we Aussies are tough and you know it.... lol

COOL!!!!!!!!!!

It will all be settled soon.

Neat!

Tank guy seemed like a nervous guy

Hi!

Nice guy. Awkward, but nice.

TN will fine you for collecting the rain. TRUST ME!!!!!!!!

“Meters” what is that? Haha haaa I’m the same way with imperial measurements, looking at a tape measure and seeing ⅛, 3/16, etc gets me all muddled up!! Metric is so much simpler!!

A meter ( What's that ? ) I'm with you ! I live in Texas and we go by inches .

Australians are built tough we don’t need no fancy uvwxyz filter, just pick out the dead frogs & you’ll be right mate.

Eric keeping us updated sooner than Matt 😤

Matt’s chicken coop is Colorado compliant

Hope Matt don't shoot it 🤔🤪🤣

Here in Colorado, the water belongs to everyone. They just now allowed people to start collecting a small amount of rain water. Makes no sense to me.

One of my life goals is to build a house, complete solar and rain collection, 100% off grid. Yes, I know I'd need to not have internet, but honestly, I could get over that.

In Australia, if your tank doesn't have a few dead lizards in it, the water tastes bad. It's weird.

Matt & Eric 2020

Leggooooo

One can tell he is nervous on camera but the calculations though. Wow he sure do know his business. Here we don't calculate, we just get the tank we can get.

And this is TEXAS!!!!! The RIGHT OF CAPTURE!!!

I bet Matt got that tank for free just so that guy could plug his business. I'm kinda interested in water collection now, in case 2020 gets worse......which it will.

When matt was pushing it toward him I thought that dude was gonna fall on his ass lmao

A meter what is that!

Exactly American

I really never understood the reasoning behind having laws saying its illegal to collect rain water. That is like saying you cannot use solar panels to heat your house. The way I see it. Collecting rain water saves the treated water from the grid for better use like human consumption and I'd use the rain water to feed my chickens and tomatoes, and wash cars. My chickens don't care if its fluorinated and chlorinated.

Why not invert the inlet filter so it is self cleaning?

i think they call it being a free range slave

Is this out before Demo Ranch....if so its Great!!!!!

Is Matt going to also use backup rainwater at the abandoned mansion (especially since he's up so high)?

GET MATT TO PUT SOLAR ON THAT ROOF!

Do they have addon filtration for those of us that still have an asphalt shingles roof that in too good of shape to replace?

Here in the desert we are not allowed to collect rain water. Even though we get 4-7" of rain a year.

if it didn't rain and the tanks were empty could you fill it with a water truck/company and would doing so damage the tank/filtration unit?
