Just wondering if the following seems plausible and if anyones got any experience of such a system.
Planning on installing a rainwater collector into a large tank that will be stored in a barn. Want to connect it to the house hold plumbing to supply water to the toilets/bath.
(water supply there used to be a gravity fed system off a small pond on the hill - but is now beyond repair and the pond lies on someone elses land, they;ve landscaped it and filled it with exotic ducks/geese etc - so water is filthy :yucky.
Just wondering what sort of submersible pump I need, that would basically sit in the bottom of the tank for years. often not in use (holiday cottage). But would be triggered when a tap is turned on to supply pressured water to the house.
We have a LIFA filter that is not used at the mo, but could be incorporated into the new system.
We are not too bothered about a full on system, as hopefully in the next few years we'll get on the mains.
Any ideas.
