Winner!
I normally keep all the barrels covered. I took the cover off to take a picture of the inflow and overflow fittings from the inside, also I was trying to show the water flowing in and out.
Your setup sounds very good too. My house is too far from my garden and downhill from it to use grey water.
That is why I have a 100 foot drive pipe. Any shorter and I wouldn't have the minimum head required.
Thank you for your comment. We have some rules where I live also, but I can take up to 500 gallons per day without a permit. My system doesn't take anywhere near that. Also my stream is just rainwater runoff from the hill behind my house. It isn't a protected river.
