I installed a 30k gallon metal tank in my backyard so that I can run my entire house on rainwater. Often called a rainwater catchment or rainwater collection system; this has allowed me to avoid using city water and to catch free water from the sky instead. Think of it as a pool-sized rain barrel crammed into my backyard.

I find it it odd that he added all of that square footage with the tank roof and there was no means to collect any water that may fall on it.

Rainwater contains a lot of contaminants collected from the air, so I could understand using this water for irrigation but not for bathing or drinking water and before anyone says it, well water isn't the same because it gets somewhat filtered through the ground soil.

He mentions that, and uses filters .. including a RO system ..
