Rainwater Collection System Part 2: Cleaning Totes

Can you stack the totes full of water?

How strong is that cage?

Hi, where can I buy those kind of totes? Thank you!

[LDSPrepper]

@fieryphoenixe I bought mine from craigslist. Do a search for "55 gallon drums" or "275 gallon totes". I paid $75 per tote, delivered to my house.

[fieryphoenixe]

@LDSPrepper Cool, thanks for the info!

@LDSPrepper I just recently heard about the benefits of colloidal silver & I am interested in finding out info on how to make it & use it safely. If you have any suggestions please let me know, I enjoy your channel. Thx

[LDSPrepper]

@raskel71 I bought mine at health2usDOTcom. It is a great machine. I have made countless gallons of colloidal silver and have saved a TON of money.

[raskel71]

Have you considered dropping a silver coin inside once the container is filled with water, a colloidal silver effect ? I here that silver coins used to be dropped into wells, water containers prior to the 1930's and it worked well to preserve water & eliminate fungus/bacteria. Please let me know if you are familiar with colloidal silver use. Thx

[LDSPrepper]

@raskel71 I am VERY familiar with colloidal silver. I LOVE it. I make my own. I haven't thought about putting a silver coin in the water but I am confident it would work. Do you know anyone who would donate a coin for each tote? ;)

[lpdavisakgto]

could you paint them with plastic paint to block the sun light

[LDSPrepper]

@lpdavisakgto Yes you can. We considered doing that. But we opted to go with the black plastic.

Why sould I EVER doubt you...I knew you have the Algae issue covered. Rock on...you are the teacher and we are the students.

[LDSPrepper]

@Itaintnutn I think we are all forever learning. At least I hope so. I am as much of the student as the teacher. Thanks for your comments and support.

I'm curious will black plastic cause to much heat? or would maybe a gray tarp be better for blocking light plus blocking heat build-up just wondered, great idea using those for water storage and that's an excellent price when compared to buying new barrels. thanks for sharing.

[LDSPrepper]

@rchopp Actually I hope they get a little warm because that will be great bath water :) These will all be in the shade for the majority of the day. Only get a little morning sun.
