Rainwater Harvesting For Pig / Poultry Drinking

[franklin]

What kit would be required to turn harvested rainwater into potable water for drinking by pigs or poultry?

 

[Bob c]

a filter then a Water UV sterilisation/filter
and may be a pump and a controller

So roof -> crud filter -> big tank -> little filter & UV on the way to drinkers?

Or would it be better to have big tank and little tank, with mains topping up the little tank as needed?

Bore hole is a no. Cant stand the idea of all that roof water going to waste. 2nd method would allow un-UV'd water to be used in my sprayer too through separate fittings.

you have livestock drinking so will need a back up
if tank or roof cant keep up with demand
i got one of these which controls the pump

turn the tap on ,......the pump start up
we got a old 10k gallon under ground tank fill with rain water

they're designed to supply 25000 birds, treated water is held in a tank that is constantly treated with ozone and distributed from this tank to the drinkers. Drop me a PM if you want more details.
