In this video I install a 11575 L rainwater tank to collect the rainwater that falls on the roof of my workshop. First we constructed a cement slab base for the tank and then I made piping to connect the gutters to the rainwater tank.
In Part 2 I hook up the water tank overflow pipe and connect the pump to make good use of all that collected rainwater - • Rainwater Tank Part 2 ...

Watched all three vids and was spell bound at the pride and enjoyment in your work. Although I've lived in Adelaide since 1990, I haven't lost my pommy accent and am extremely jealous of your rich Aussie tone! Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope I can get my wife to hold the broom for me when my time comes (and I'll refrain from the obvious comment about it being her mode of transport - just kidding, she's cool). Fingers crossed. Regards - Simon

Thank you Simon. Have you picked up some of it over the years? I bet poms think you sound very Aussie now :) Good luck with your project!

Very nice job Daniel 👍 I’m soon to get a rain water tank also so I have rainwater for all the trees

@PracticalPrimate 2 года назад

Thanks :) Good stuff, look forward to seeing how you do yours.

This is fantastic! I will absolutely be installing this system on my property. Quick question though, what was the volume of the rain barrel for reference?

Smick job Daniel! How's the epoxy floor going?

@PracticalPrimate 2 года назад

Thanks Doug! The floor is magic, really awesome stuff. I’ll do a bit of a review and tour of the workshop once I’ve finished the walls in there (waiting for sign off) :)

Great video. Exactly what I have been looking for. Can you tell us how thick your concrete base is?

@PracticalPrimate Год назад

I aimed for 100mm (it’s not perfect, but close).

I had terrible luck with water going into a top screen. I think that's what yours show. A LOT of water bounced out. I put a bulkhead fitting into the side and attached the pipe to it. I hope your does better.

Hi Wayne. Yeah it’s a screen alright. It’s fairly deep so fingers crossed but I know what you mean, my house down pipes have double screens and a fair bit bounces off the first one in a heavy downpour. Thanks for the comment, I’ll make a short next time it rains :)
