Gravity Sucks - Outdoor Rain Barrel

Post by tiramisu »

I have been noodling on plumbing and cooling for a bit.
still in the basement.
I can put a 50-gallon rain barrel outside and run it downhill to the drain.
With 1/2 hose I suspect I wouldn't even need a pump.
Simple siphon with a 1/2 hose and a tap.

Anyone, see any issue with this minor epiphany?

If it is dry I can fill the 50-gallon barrel outside directly with a hose.

I've been gravity feeding my Liebigs for years.

Gravity feed is perfect if you are using a CM still .
