5 Minute Rainwater Collection System - Super Simple!

Marjory Wildcraft

So the city water completely sucks. I am grateful for it, but water is so important and the city doesn't cut it.

So when it started to rain today, I made a simple rainwater collection system in less than five minutes!

Check it out.

Your health is your number one asset. You are 75% water and you need high qualtiy water. Bless the municipality for what they do... but you need higher quality.

@Marjory Wildcraft I love the sound of rain. Right now, it's cloudy, cold, and turning colder tonight. There is only snow in our forecast at this point.

We use some of the water of our roof and on any other container (large & small) that we can catch it in in the warmer months. It is so much better for everything!

I think you really need to do a paid review about the gorilla carts, since it essentially becomes advertising for the company anyway. My opinion... you should really contact the company and give them your member & viwer stats and arrange a discount for members. As I said, our yellow ones are awesome & well worth the expense (but a discount is still always welcome). Chores and everything are way easier, they are easy for kids to use & are fun to ride in (for adults too, just sayin').

I've thought about creating a system that would channel my roof gutters into a 55 gallon barrel instead of just dumping it into drainage. An overflow from the barrel would then go into the drainage. It doesn't take much rain to get 55 gallons off a typical American-sized home roof.

It hasn't been a priority so far. We live in a very wet area where drought is seldom a problem, and we have water filters to make pretty much anything drinkable.

That is something I plan to set up next year. With 270 average days of precip here, I may as well make use of it.

I did this and it has been great. I definitely recommend finding the time.
