Rainwater Tank Part 3 - Tap

[@nancyinoregon809]

Was trying to figure out where to start--this three-pack of videos is hugely helpful, thank you!

Very glad it helped Nancy :) All the best with your project!

I appreciate this is quite old a video but super useful as I'm onto putting together a very similar thing. Are you still using this setup and how does the pump pressure work out for your needs - assume you irrigate via the tap? These jet pumps do around 3-3.5 BAR, is this sufficient for drip lines etc? Thanks again, very useful!

@@invisiblesurfer hi! I have only used this tap for hosing and irrigation sprinklers but I think it would work fine for drippers - they usually work on low pressures (1 bar-ish minimum). I would definitely check it out with the pump supplier though, I haven’t tried it. This tank is also at the topside of my property so I’m not fighting gravity for what that is worth.

Great video. Do you keep the pump on 24/7 or just when you're going to use it?

[@PracticalPrimate]

Hi. I just turn it on when I’m using it. This ovoids it recharging/pressurising often (noise) and premature wear.
