[QUOTE="MickMoor, post: 279955, member: 899"] Here's one we did earlier. I don't think it would be economic for us to go over to Ireland to do one though. Think the cost of the whole system was around £20,000 a couple of years ago. Can't remember the capacity of the tank, probably around 200 cubic metres. [attach=full]27964[/attach] As the cost of water rises, we are carrying out more rain harvesting work. We have installed a system where all rain from shed roofs is filtered and collected in a small underground tank, from where it is pumped to a large storage tank, for various uses. [attach=full]27965[/attach] The storage tank was constructed from old tower silo sheets, with the angles either made by us or re-rolled to the correct radius. The filler pipe is shown, with the A float valve inside to close it when the tank is full. The pump detects this and switches off, allowing the collection tank to overflow into the drainage system. A grain silo can be adapted to contain water, but will need strengthening due to almost double the pressure. [/QUOTE]
