Rather than use a number of pvc pipe adapters to get down to a garden hose we reused the 2 cap and some spare plumbing parts we had kicking around.
Ibc tank water collection.
When we added a 1000 liter ibc tank to our courtyard it replaced a 120 liter rain barrel.
I mentioned briefly that we had all our water tanks set up now.
Afrim of ibc water tanks was extremely helpful he gave me lots of good advice before i purchased.
Ibc water tanks containers supply and collection.
With these we decided to go with 6mm thick plastic.
Grain feeder built from a 55 gallon barrel and 2x4s.
Any container for water be it a cistern rain barrel or ibc tote needs to be light proof.
This is because if light does get in you are guaranteed the very unrewarding job of cleaning up algae from the container.
Add to that speedy delivery and a top quality tank at a reasonable price and what more could you ask for.
First class service and tank.
Meaning no light can get into it.
Then bought a little plastic connector hose to join them together.
So we moved the small rain barrel over by the guest house where another rain barrel was already sitting.
