Is this a viable idea for pressurized rain water collection system?
I had an idea at work the other day. If I collect rainwater in a large container, say 200 gallons. Can I pressurize it using a windmill that pumps air. My uncle has one that runs an aerator in his lake. Its not much but over time the pressure could build up if its going through a one way valve. I would also put a pressure release to keep the tank from becoming over pressured. The problem I have is how to get rain water in there and not losing air pressure. I could then use the water to flush my toilets and use on my outdoor spickets. Do you think this could work? Do you know how to fix the entering water issue?
The traditional country way is simpler: Pump the water up into an elevated tank and let gravity do the work after that. A windmill can perform that function. You don’t need much elevation unless you have a dish washing machine.
Spigots. OK?
