Title: filling water tank
Post by: nelly on December 10, 2014, 01:04:41 pm
At the moment my job's don't require a wfp set up,
but I'm hoping to expand and invest into it,
problem being I live in the middle of a row of terrace houses,so have got no means of filling my tank?
How can I over come this and how do most of you fill your tanks?
thanks in advance

A fellow window cleaner also lives in the middle of a long row of terraced houses. He has run a hose under the house in the air gap. Processes water at the back and fills his van out the front. The road in the front is lower than the back so gravity is all that's needed for him.

Just to illustrate that anything is possible
I live in a first floor flat (no garden or outside space) in the middle of a terraced street.
I have spurred off the mains water supply where it enters my flat and installed a 4040 high up on the wall of my hallway.
From there the waste and pure go under the floorboards, waste out through back wall and into drain pipe, pure re emerges in my living room and goes out of a bay window frame to a 15 m reel of hose secured on to a deep window ledge.
I unreel and lower the hose to my street parked van , loop it around the roof rack before feeding it into the van via a hoselock under the bumper
 ( that way its above head height and no trip hazard).
Vans tank has an over flow in much the same way a toilet cistern does so no chance of flooding the van. When I look out window and see water trickling from under the van I know the tank is full - simples, well, simple ish  :D
there is always a way ;)

you do what you have to

I'd love a house with a driveway and a garden and garage/shed. an ibc static system and a booster pump, would make my life so much easier !

Just not quite there yet  :(
