Hi,
New on the forum, we are building a house and are looking for information on the installation of a tank to collect rainwater. According to my different readings on the site, I will opt for a concrete tank of 10 liters for the WC, the washing machine and the showers. I received a first estimate of 000 euros, I'm cold .....
I then plan to manage the subject myself, without tax credits
can you confirm the procedure to follow:
- Make the hole sufficiently sized, with a layer of limestone 10 cm at the bottom
- place the tank - fill in with topsoil
- Put a pump to bring water into the circuit
Is there anything else?
This may seem like a naive question, but I have trouble understanding the 10 euros
Can you help me
In advance thank you

Not great the answer
I am not a specialist, but since nobody moves
I installed a tank water circuit 13 years ago, so a little feedback is always profitable.
Here, in my opinion, the important points of such an installation.
The size and material of the tank.
The filtration of the water before entering the tank.
The law (there are laws for that too )
The quality of the pump.
The quality of tap water filtration.
The ease of cleaning the bottom of the tank.
The location of the tank.
All these points are important, to be quiet for many years.
So, you already have a database for your research.
Now, if you want to contact me on skype, why not, and if other people want to do a little conference on skype, this is the opportunity.

Hi, as far as I'm concerned I have a 5000l concrete tank (La Nive brand). The problem, it is not yet installed, it weighs mega heavy. The 2nd snag, it is cracked. Well he exchanges it to me but still, it's boring.
My advice, take less big (it would not be far from 3 tonnes) or so you have it put directly.
My tank has an integrated self-cleaning filter.
For the rest I haven't really looked for it yet. I'm thinking of doing something economical, like an old HS water heater in the attic that I will fill.
That's all for the moment.

once again, I find you tense guys!
for my part, I also advise you to take smaller, because I do not think (unless you are very numerous that 10 000 l are necessary, then the location is also essential.
by the way if you know someone who has an excavator it can be simple, then it seems to me that there is a story of 2 circuits, rain water and "city" water!
really think about seeing the regulations, it will save you a lot of trouble!
