Rainwater Harvesting QA - Cost, is it Illegal, how I treat, etc,.
Today I’m answering Rainwater Harvesting questions about my rainwater collection system tour video. Treatment and filtration, is rainwater harvesting illegal, system cost, what is the capacity, how long can we go between rains, what other forms of harvesting do we use, plans for the future, and more!
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!!
Here is a legend if you want to skip to a particular question/answer…
NOTE: forgot to talk about two other questions... annual rainfall in this area is about 12" and the water in the pipes transfers to the tan tank via a level difference. It is explained in the first video. Here is the link:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNXooT2FVXM&t=435s
