Re: Need advice on our rainwater collection and storage syst 19Oct 24, 2012 7:33 pm Crikey, a lot to digest there. It's a steep learning curve for me and is certainly a crash course in rain harvesting. Thanks SaveH20, your time in freely giving advice on here is commendable. I'll do some study on the above and reply again with some questions. One thing I haven't been able to get my head around is using the low inlets in the side of the tank. If the tank is even say half full (12,000 litres) wouldn't the pressure of that volume of water prevent any water entering from the wet system? The other thing I'm wondering about is what type of fitting should be used for a low inlet especially considering the Camel tanks have a corrugated side wall profile. I'll check with Camel but they're don't seem to like discussing anything 'out of the box'. Will also check with them re warranty in regards to cutting holes in the sidewall. John P.S. The house kit company has now agreed to supply 3x 100mm downpipes for each of the two awning gutters. Re: Need advice on our rainwater collection and storage syst 20Oct 24, 2012 10:22 pm Great work there SaveH20 (AKA...). I have read your description of the low tank inlet and sediment trap elsewhere and plan to include it in our current build. I had the same query as Rocks regarding pressure/vulnerability of joints and seals and pipes including risk of damage to the inflow pipe leading to backwards loss of water from the tank. Once you know the basics, the rest is easy. Read my post in the thread linked below. viewtopic.php?p=1919271#p1919271 2 20452 There is a whole lot more to know than just the answers you seek but they are a good start.
