Are you treating the rain water (before or after or both) the storage tanks?
We hold water in a similar black tank at the ranch with a small pump and pressure tank and stuff will grow in those tanks. I think he is capturing and storing raw rainwater then filtering prior to use...

I think he is capturing and storing raw rainwater then filtering prior to use... At the gutter 1. Leaf-Eater, catches any leaves or other debris 2. First flush diverter, robs the first 20 gallons off the roof, catching any sediment 3. Malstrom, fine screens further cleaning, fine enough to prevent any insect larvae in or out. 4. Tank (all tanks will he tied together parallel filling and emptying simultaneously) The water is actually probably safe to drink here. 5. Last tank supplying pump charged with ozone 6. Pump 7.Micron filter, UV shock 8. Pressure tank 9. Clean water under pressure. 6-9 will be inside the same as a well house. I'll build it in the shop and let the skidsteer carry it to the slab. I will have that final water analyzed. Most likely it will be cleaner than any tap water, or well water sample I put it up against.

You've done your homework for sure.....outstanding set up.... I've learned that anyone with acreage should be catching the water off their roofs. The more roof you have, the greater the gallons per year it yeilds. My shop alone will produce double the gallons per year than I actually need. A customer of mine asked me about it a few weeks ago. He's got a ranch in a county that gets much less rain than I do. He gets 24" per year against my 42". His house, barn, and shop would yeild him 175,000 gallons a year. He doesn't need even half of that.

I've learned that anyone with acreage should be catching the water off their roofs.
This has made me think about it. Day before yesterday, I would have caught 18,000 gallons, that would supply my household for 3-4 months. I have actually been looking at tanks I can bury to do this.

Investigate heavily. Unlese you find a better supplier, buried tanks are far more money per gallon. They have to be reinforced with ribs to avoid empty tanks letting the ground cave them in. That's why I have above ground, your money goes farther as far as tank capacity. And big capacity is the key to this being a long term reliable source of water. This morning, at the gates (200 yards from the shop) I could see one tank. As you drive by the shop, on your way to the house, you don't even notice them. I thought they'd be an eye sore, in the end I'm kind of proud of them. If the sight of them bothered a person, an R-panel wall to match the shop could be built, red tipped photenias could be planted. I think I'll let em stand there proudly.

East side is gonna catch. Still needs to be tied into the tank next to it, and the first flush given a longer pipe, but at least I'm catching clean water.

Now that is a lot of water storage! 17,000 gallons Curious. The cost of my water well is minimal. Three drillers told me 1700' deep at $100 per foot. Water depth varies greatly across the continent. There's water less than that, but it's sour. Got to go deeper. I'm surprised on 1700 for decent water, that's closer than most places around here. I wanted a deep well, and decided it was too expensive at the time. Wish I had had it done when we drilled the piers for the house 25 years ago.

Good looking water system you are building. It's hard to believe that 125 miles makes that much difference in water depth. We used to live between Marshall and Longview and had a 40' deep 30" precast concrete well that had 28' of water. I can not even imagine having to go almost 2,000' deep to get good water. Best wishes on your house build, looking forward to following it.

This truss will have kitchen ceiling joists coming off the east side of it, and will have sheetrock screwed to the west side of it. And is the only one that has to make the 32' span with no help of columns in the center. So I added some triangles. More triangles equals more strength.

When we were touring properties in our search for a new ranch we saw one with a massive connected water catch systems from multiple buildings spread across a mile or more. Heck of a deal. Enjoying pictures of your progress Jason.

Dumb question.
When you capture all this rainfall, what do you do with it? Is there a purification process or is it good to go?

Curious as to why this is taking so long to build Lots of days by myself. And 24 of 72 hours, I'm at the fire station. If you want to come up, I won't charge you to be an apprentice.

14 of 18 columns leveled on plates, and welded down. My help got there late, so we quit late. Can't really see much, but you get the idea.
