[QUOTE="Apache, post: 425965, member: 828"] Plan is to collect rainwater in 6 X 1000l IBC containers, connected together (outside). A pipe then runs ~12m underground and then needs to rise 3m to fill a header tank. The header tank is to feed a pressure washer - that can run off a ground level water-butt. What is the best way of moving the water? Some kind of pump controlled by a float switch - I assume? Does pump want to be at ground level or up next to the header tank (my preferred location). Looking for a suitable pump and switch - also interested in any thoughts or suggestions Cheers [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Inline-Water-Pump-Centrifugal-1-inch-BSP-Cast-Iron-IBC-Water-Pump-IBC-Fitting-/281134830013?hash=item4174f111bd:g:H9gAAOSwd4tUKoTu"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Inline-Water-Pump-Centrifugal-1-inch-BSP-Cast-Iron-IBC-Water-Pump-IBC-Fitting-/281134830013?hash=item4174f111bd:g:H9gAAOSwd4tUKoTu[/URL] Something like this?
