This 1500 gallon water tank feeds two houses.  It collects rain water from the roofs of a wood shed and outdoor kitchen that flows through gutters and into the tank. We get well over 100 gallons for every inch of rain that comes down. The spring and fall rains help produce the most water for the tank and right now we are going through a small drought. 

The question I had the other day was from a viewer that wanted to know how our kitchen pump worked.  He wanted to know how deep the tank was in the ground below the house.  Well, we don't have a tank below the house.  This kitchen pump simply brings the water up from the pipe that is hooked up to the tank. 

In this video, I show you the tank, the pipe coming out of it that goes into the ground and where the pipe comes into the house.  We have two such tanks on our homestead of the same capacity in addition to smaller tanks. Our total water storage capacity is now over 5000 gallons on the homestead.
