I'll be building a house in the next year, or so. Our water will come from a well with a solar-powered submersible pump. I would like to use a "water tower" system to ensure that, during a power outtage, we will have at least a little bit of water pressure. With the following setup, we will have roughly 3psi at the fixtures on the top floor [f^1] (using one fixture at a time) during a power outtage. During normal use (non-power-outtage), we would use the booster pump and pressure tank.
I know that I'll need to make sure of a few things:
1. That the house is built to support ~1 ton at the "gravity tank"
2. During an outtage, to flush toilets, we would probably need to fill a pitcher at the tap and pour it into the tank
Please tell me what you think of this setup and if there are any obvious flaws.
Thank you so much for your input.
