I am on a well, and have frequent power failures.
I got tired of a small pressure tank, and thus no water without power. So I bought a 50 gallon one.
Now I can take a shower in the morning, even without power.
Not sure of the pump to use here, and I think we're discussing the same thing almost, but pressurizing the holding tank would be pump before vs pump after.
It may provide a nicer experience? Not sure.
- a1369209993 5y agoAh, yes, I was talking about a catchment tank (before the main pump; so the pump has water to pump) for the low-pressure input water. The pressure tank can be whereever.
- bbarnett 5y agoHmm. So a catchment tank, then even a small pressure tank after, might give a very nice experience. And without power, the catchment tank would still be pressurized by the incoming water supply at 10psi, a nice fallback. Now we only need to obtain the contract. Profit!
- bbarnett 5y agoEven better, during war, calamity, or zombies, the catchment tank can provide for emergency water!
