finally got the rainwater collection system put together, any thoughts or tips? i’m planning to eventually add another tote to the left of this one for a bigger system down the road. didn’t add a first flush because this water will only be used in the garden and the side of the roof it’s on is fairly small

Idk what it’s called but I believe you need another section of pipe below the tank that’s made for debris to run off into, then when that’s full the cleaner water will start flowing into the tank
Did you paint it? Also, do you have an overflow and where does it go out to?
Following. Where do you buy a container like this? And how does a “first flush container” work. I’m new to this but would like to get a cistern setup before planting my garden this year. I’m having to use city water and really want to use better water that’s also free water!
Needs an overflow
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. will your fitting support is weight when full?
