Good idea, but I don't have enough vertical room to fit a 55 gal drum, I
have less than 6" to work with ;(

Your gutters are less than 6" above the ground???

My cistern is 6' above ground. There is lots of drop from the gutters
but I don't want them going diagonally in front of my porch, I run them
below the porch floor to improve the view, That puts them only 6" above
the cistern inlet.


You can't lower the cistern?


Either he has a very high porch or he meant 6' BELOW ground.

Yes my porch is high and no I can't lower the cistern, it is sitting on
the ground already. It consists of a 2500 gal SS tank and there would
be problems burying it, including draining it when needed and the
fireplug attached to the bottom (the only fireplug within 2 miles of my
house). Here in TN it is rare for the water to freeze, and the SS tank
gotten cheap from a wrecked tank truck has no trouble keeping water
fresh in the heat of the summer.
