[QUOTE="Marvo, post: 450179, member: 20838"] It's no more complicated than a tank and a pump but you need a big tank to make it worthwhile....okay...you're in the UK so maybe not so big but even to have a single powerful hose to wash down an area you could work on 30 litres / minute consumption so for 20 minutes of wash-down every day you'd need a thousand litre tank and that's assuming the rain is refilling it daily. If you only get good rain once every 3 or 4 days you'd need 2 or 3 thousand litres of storage. Surface HDPE tanks are fairly cheap but most of then don't have sufficient structural integrity to be buried. Underground tanks are less of an eyesore but more capital outlay. [/QUOTE]
