hi guys, i currently have a poly tank on my roof to supply water to the toilets, however with recent water disruption i would also like to add an additional SS tank at the point of entry to supply water to the kitchen as well. Should this be done? or should i just change to poly tank to a higher capacity SS tank and pull a pipe to supply to the kitchen?
thanks
Where I am in kota bharu, this is the norm. Meter>water tank>pump>filter>second water tank at rear>pump>roof water tank.thanks
When I have first stayed here like 30 years ago, pipe meter straight to roof. No need pump. Then due to more economic activity, need to add rear tank and pump. Then when water become even low pressure put another tank at the front.
Front 250 galon
Rear 200
Roof 150
Original roof 100
My next door neighbour go even further, 500 g at meter followed by pump to 150 rear. Then 150 top. TBH, his setup is a bit between because got extra reserve. And when got disruption still maintain water. Even though the main underground pipe has to pass my house first.
You have to make it next to the meter, if you want the pressure to go into the tank. If possible build slightly underground then go ahead. If not need to choose between wide or tall tank depending on your house area. Tall tank, less space but more pressures needed. Wide tank more than spacey less pressure.
