Off-grid Whole house rain water filtration system



This is our 2nd update on our whole house rainwater filtration system running 100% off grid meaning off solar. Perfect for an system. Can by within a City or even out a cabin totally off-grid. Rainwater is your best source for drinking water out there. 3 stage filtration get 99% of sediments removed on top the carbon filter reduces any chlorine you might had added to your rainwater to kill off any bacteria. Better would be UV light at the end of the loop to be added. For now we do use chlorine but longer term we will also be adding the bigger UV light which also run’s of 12DC like the pump itself. Both Solar Panels charge a deep-cycle battery so it’s setup for long term.

How to install a low cost water filtration system to your home

How to install a low cost water filtration system to your home



In this video, I install a low-cost water filtration system to connect our home to the rainwater collection tank.
One day our water supply got brown because of too much rain that created mud in the town’s collection dam. sometimes the water has too much chlorine in it also.
My solution was to use rainwater that we harvested from one of our roofs I added a booster pump to increase the pressure so it is practical in the house.
However, the rainwater was not 100% clean due to the fact that the roof and gutter collected all kinds of impurities. A proper filtration system would cost us more than what we have available in our current budget. This made me to search for low-cost alternatives.
In this video, I am sharing my experience with you.
