Re: another couple of water tank questions

It's greywater only (I don't have any black water). I've checked with the self containment regs here and the main thing is that the top of the greywater vent is higher than the outlet of the lowest...

Re: another couple of water tank questions

Ok, thanks. I assume the pump prevents backflow (it has an arrow on it).

With the vent, do you mean I can use a small bore? So I could just run a piece of plastic tube to wherever as along as it...

Re: another couple of water tank questions

What's a check valve? The freshwater tank is outside. I'm not so worried about it and the frost (just the things that will break as opposed to freeze like the pump or the califont), but will probably...

Re: another couple of water tank questions

Thanks everyone, that's been very helpful. I thought I'd replied already but it's disappeared. Tom, that's great with those final calculations, cheers.

Re: another couple of water tank questions

The tank is gavlanised steel. It's second-hand and has come off a house bus. I have a piece of 9mm ply I can put between the tank and the angle iron at the bottom. Would I still need some protection...

Re: water tank above head height

I'm in New Zealand John, and know Mr Sharkey's site, it's very cool. I think a NZer is running the forum now (haven't figured out the login since they moved the forum though).

Re: another couple of water tank questions

Yeah similar to that, but with the angle iron up the other way (an upside down L), and across the bottom of the tank further in rather than on the edge. The angle iron is 40mm x 40mm. I only have two...

another couple of water tank questions

1. I'm putting in a freshwater 180L tank under the deck of my housetruck. I've had a look at a few different mounting systems and am thinking of using two pieces of angle-iron across the bottom of...

Re: water tank above head height

Thanks everyone, that's put my mind at ease. I do drive like a granny normally, but also have a tendancy to drive in some rougher places where the ground is uneven (so the truck sways from side to...

water tank above head height

Hi skoolies,

I'm building a housetruck and want to install a round, upright 75 or 100L water tank above head height (it's for drinking water and is gravity fed). I was going to put it in the...
