IBC Tote Rainwater Harvesting Winterization

IBC Tote Rainwater Harvesting Winterization is from my old system in 2016. Thanks for watching the IBC Tote Rainwater Harvesting Winterization video.

This post is about Rainwater Harvesting Winterization. We are preparing our 4-IBC tote, 1200-gallon system for winter so the water in the pipes and tanks don’t freeze and burst.

The Picture
If you notice in the picture the IBC-totes are in groups of two. The two that are furthest from the camera are covered with black plastic and the two closest to the camera are uncovered. I uncovered the two closest so you can see the system a little better. I will be completely removing the IBC-totes from the system and the metal cage and painting them so that the cover is no longer needed. The cover / paint prevent sunlight from getting in, so algae doesn’t grow and clog up the system.
