Rain Barrel System DIY

Simple, effective rainwater collection system, off grid. Detailed Drawings: https://mcguiremechanism.com/rainwater/ Sizing the Steel Frame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-btpBUYHWK4 Clarification: The hydrostatic pressure equation at 3:20 is for average pressure. For maximum pressure, use the full height of the working fluid—not the height of its centroid. However, the equation shown is a reasonable approximation for max pressure in this type of rainwater collection system, considering inefficiencies like losses due to the internal roughness of the hose.
