Rainwater project pump issue.

    Hi,

    over the last two years, I setup a rainwater collecting system beside the garage.
    two 1000L ibc's with filters etc.
    If feeds two outside taps, and the washing machine & d/s toilet (if needed).

    Pre-filtered water comes from the ibc's into the garage, through an on-demand shower pump, then through a filter and out to the taps. Taps get turned on and the pump should kick in.

    First pump I got (watermaill) worked ok, as in the trigger/replay in the pump(on demand) could be adjusted but that pump housing split.
    Second pump (on demand shower) Stuart pump is metal body but it's not sensitive enough to turn on when a tap is turned on, and cannot be adjusted.

    So any ideas of a setup or different style pump to use ?
    High pressure is not needed- water is mainly used for washing cars/bikes/patio, but would prefer it to be on demand and not an on/off switch.
    just don't like using clean drinking water to wash a car.

    thx

    I'm also interested in this information as I am currently looking in to water tanks. Would you mind letting me know where you purchased your tank and filters pls?
