Off Grid Water System Explained | Filter System | Rainwater Harvesting - Burton Builds

FULL Explanation of how a water filter and UV water sterilisation system works INCLUDING design Tips and Tricks about each part of the installation.

Your requirements may be different to mine and at the moment, this is what works for me... however you should still be able to use the information in the video to help with your install.

I would always recommend having your water tested to be sure it is safe for consumption.

Just a quick note on the ‪@DaveyWaterProducts‬ RainBank pump controller that I used (and it's a bit disappointing)... It requires mains water pressure in order for the controller to activate... so even if your water storage tank is full of water and for some reason the mains water supply fails / drops out / pressure drops really low, the controller won't activate which renders your harvested tank water useless. Looks like a good product let down by one aspect of the design that I think needs to be improved upon. Check out the pinned comment at the top of the comments section of this video (   • Installing a Rainwater Harvesting sys...  ) for a more complete example / description.

Main parts of the system:
⚙️ Davey Rainbank pump controller ‪@DaveyWaterProducts‬
⚙️ DAB pump https://amzn.to/3JMW2rL (couldn't find a reference to the exact pump I used but the DAB Minibox is also a great pump with built-in controller - I used the JetCOM 82M)
⚙️ 20" Filter housing https://amzn.to/3ZVjngx (this is the regular size filter - I used the 20" slimline)
⚙️ UV Steriliser https://amzn.to/3mVh9yZ
