I started filtering my water this year. I have a 55gl rain barrel hooked up to a downspout fitted with a filter. The filter is about 12in long PVC, has “play-sand” sifted yard sand, small stones from sifted dirt, and left over charcoal from grilling. It attaches to the end of the down spout, which is about 15′ long (2 story home) and drops right into the top of the rain barrel. I have it covered with a sheet of plastic painters tarp to keep contaminates out. I’ve tested the water myself using a pool tester and I’ve had it tested at the local college lab. It’s clean and pure…more so than store brand bottled water. I do have to change the charcoal after every rain, but due to amount of grilling I do, it’s a non issue. Nice.
