Rainwater Harvesting.

Something like this? I had 4 wheelie bins connected the same way, when one fills to the top it overflows into the next, and so on

 

Yes that's more like it but that maybe too industrial!!!

Homebase/b&q etc is the place to get what your after, its a simple pipe cut into the top of your ibc that flows into the next ibc.

I do intend to place a filter on the tap. Really looking for ways to connect the tanks. Smiths of Forest of Dean do something but looking for a more industrial way.

 

We use Smith and Jones at Pottery St Mary for our irrigation supplies. Joe will be able to fix you up with some PVC glued connectors 25,32,50, 63 or 75 mm. Link top to bottomwith 90 deg bends and you are done. Postage might be high as pipe comes in 5 M lengths. You could save a bit if its cut to length first perhaps. Depends where you are but any horticultural irrigation supplier would have the bits.

I have put in an underground tank which comes with a filter on the inlet to stop leaves etc, and manhole but more money. You will get trouble with algae as already said.

I assume you mean Ottery St Mary? I am based on Exmoor so might try a jolly out that direction.

Daylight and algae come to mind, better off buried .

Black IBCs are the way ahead!

Yes that the place. I would call first though to make sure Joe or Les are going to be there. Have a look online at their catalogue 01404 823975.

Might be a good idea to jack up the IBCs on a stollege, might do away with the need for a pump then!

I used plastic "skin fittings" from a chandlers. I've had them for 5 or 6 years so far with no problems.
