Welcome back to our off-grid living series! In this video, we dive into the process of expanding our rainwater collection system using 275-gallon IBC totes. This is a crucial upgrade for ensuring a sustainable and reliable water supply at our off-grid cabin.

What You’ll Learn:

Assessing Your Current System: We start by evaluating our existing rainwater collection setup and identifying areas for improvement.
Why IBC Totes? Learn why 275-gallon IBC totes are an excellent choice for expanding rainwater storage, including their durability, capacity, and cost-effectiveness.
Planning the Expansion: Step-by-step planning of the expansion, including determining the best location for the totes and how to integrate them into the existing system.
Installation Process: Detailed instructions on setting up the IBC totes, connecting gutters, and ensuring proper filtration.
Maintenance Tips: Essential maintenance practices to keep your expanded rainwater collection system in top shape.
Why Expand Your Rainwater Collection System?
Expanding your rainwater collection system with IBC totes significantly increases your water storage capacity, providing greater self-sufficiency and reducing dependency on external water sources. This is especially vital for off-grid living, where access to municipal water is limited or non-existent.
