After much planning I have finally completed and set my Guzzler so I can have relatively consistent water at my place between Rocksprings and Del Rio.
It's a relatively dry area. I have no creeks or tanks on my property. I built my Guzzler with 1 inch angle iron, roofing tin, 2x4s, gutter supplies and a 275 gallon IBC tote which was procured from the Green Screen.
I under estimated the length of the run to get the trough float valve downhill of the IBC valve, but made it work. I will surely re plumb at the float valve and add protection to keep hogs and whatever from tearing up the entry point to the trough. We also added structure in and around the trough to help smaller guests keep from drowning and making the water putrid.
The rain falls on the tin roof, gutter delivers it to the tank, gravity delivers it to the trough, the float valve feels the water level and stops the flow until the water level is lower.
on my land water makes a big difference!
