Rainwater filter

A few years ago I made a simple rainwater collector system with a rain gutter, pipes and an underground tank. As water filtration was not a completely solved matter, I only used it to an automated garden irrigation system and other basic uses in the outdoor area.

Recently I decided to make some improvements to expand the usefulness of this water, and decided to build a new rainwater filter.

I followed some tips from this great site (very grateful to the author):

Filter beside of the original pipe that was replaced

I added some decoration to engage my daughter in the project

Installed in the rain gutter

The next step now is to make a second filter to discard the first rainwater drop, which contains a lot of dirt. Coming soon.
