-Clean out the IBC so it is food grade and you are able to use it
-Attach your sawyer one point filter system to your container/IBC
-Make sure all your materials are working and ready to use

-Before you actually use your water system here are some water tests you should do first to make sure the water is safe to drink
-Nitrate test
-PH test
-Turbidity test

-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
