Re: Sizing a rainwater system for self-sufficiency 17Apr 11, 2013 7:16 pm SaveH2O TimH247 I understand that a tank by the house has less friction loss and possibly less head loss, but I can't work out how that is overall more efficient if you have to pump the water from the main tanks to this one. ..... In my case the ground is relatively flat, so no head loss other than friction losses. Flat ground allows you to gravity feed from the bigger settling tank to a smaller but often tall tank (commonly 900 or 1,000 litre poly) at the house. The pipework between the two tanks does not need to be big and the water in the balance pipe will be turned over many times every day. A remote tank also needs to be supplied with a wet system but if you don't use a vertical riser, you will have more head and the pipes regularly flushed without yield loss plus many other benefits. The link below is a currently active discussion about a low yield pumped system and an alternative low level wet flow path is discussed in part. The block slopes but the same head/efficiency principles still apply. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=63937 Makes sense for flat site. Thanks for the link, more reading material Once you know the basics, the rest is easy. Read my post in the thread linked below. viewtopic.php?p=1919271#p1919271 2 19521 Hi guys, I want to do some floor levelling before laying the planks and am considering doing it with self-levelling or yellow tongue PB board. I am wondering which one… 0 6556 DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair But if it is a ground level open pit, then it is not a charged system. No surprises there. The pipes have obviously been altered and there would be a reason for this.… 3 31286 |
