I first posted this video back in May 2009. I'm so pleased that so many people have watched the video and so many good folks have left great comments! Thanks everyone! It's so thrilling to see that my system has inspired so many other systems - it makes me feel like I've made a worthwhile contribution to that community of folks that are looking to DIY their way - even in a small way towards self-sufficiency!
I'm currently designing and planning a couple of new projects: a passive-solar hot water system (for a shower) and one other thing that if I can get my crazy idea to work will blow my mind! Regardless, I'll post everything when it works and show y'all exactly how I built it. In the meantime, good luck on all your own projects and please let me know when you've built your own systems because I'd love to watch and share your videos, too!
As explained in the video there are 4 55-gallon barrels connected to a manifold. The piping is 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC. Please leave comments and questions (if you have any). Thanks for watching!
