[QUOTE="binky, post: 354270, member: 490"] main issue is to filter output from tank to ensure water is clean, all stored water can harbour bacteria etc. The storage tank itself can be as complicated or simple as you like, off the shelf stuff tends to command a premium price because it's for 'rainwater harvesting'. Farms abound with storage vessels of one form or another, you could use an old pastic tank as the mould for waterproof concrete structure for example. As for sizing that's not so easy. I have a 20 gallon water butt fed from the roof, which during a drought will last about 3-4weeks of washing the car once a week and a bit of plant watering. [/QUOTE]
