Rain harvest system

Oh sure. Sounds real simple.

Rain Gutters

Oh Sure. Sounds real simple.

Rain gutters are simple unless you have tilted fascia boards and you
didn't know they needed flashing until after you install them. Even with
youtube I seemed to make these two tasks as difficult as possible. The
outcome was good, up to now, but required more effort than I imagined
and I still have to put in another 20 ft of gutters.

I'm trying to equalize the pressure in the 55gal poly sealed rain
barrels (not stacked.) I have 1/4" vinyl tubing with grommets, elbows
and tees, but its a sealed system so the pressure can get relatively
high. not sure how high tho. Never put 1/4" vinyl tubing w/ grommets to
the test.

Anyone that worked with a sealed system? I'm trying to avoid an
overflow. I could put an overflow on the 1st barrel if there is no other
alternative thereby eliminating the water pressure at the top of the
barrel. An overflow seems to be the simpler alternative.

I'm glad to see your posting. Thinking about doing the same thing here before the rainy season. Sounds like you have put a lot of thought into this. Can you sketch out your system and upload to tinypic.com?
