-Things to think about when choosing which container you want to use

-Choose the right container depending on the use you have in mind for it. If your going to have it supply a lot of water your going to want a bigger container like the IBC.

-If you have something else in mind and are using it for a smaller project you could use a smaller container like the blue one shown.

Connect All Materials

-You first need to connect the water filter system to your IBC/container

-Make sure the water comes out nice and clean
