Decide on a pump or gravity-fed system
How you get water out of your tank matters as much as how you get it in. The right choice depends on your property, where your tank sits, and how you plan to use the water.
Decide on a pump or gravity-fed system
Work out the best way to draw water from your tank for your property, whether that is a pump or a gravity-fed setup, and talk to a specialist if you are unsure.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
Pump or gravity?
A gravity-fed system relies on height and suits some outdoor uses, while a pump delivers consistent pressure for household use. Your setup and pressure needs decide which fits.
Match it to your use
Watering a garden has very different pressure needs to running household taps and appliances. Choose a system sized for how you will actually use the water.
When to ask an expert
Pump selection and plumbing can get technical. If you are unsure, talk to a specialist before you buy so your system is set up correctly the first time.
