Water Pump Relocation

This is the pump and pressure tank that pressurizes the water from the catchment tank. The tank is pressurized so the pump doesn't have to run whenever the water is flowing.

The pump and tank were installed in a small shed behind the guest house, but we decided to move it into the shed behind the main house because the pump makes some noise when it runs and it makes sense to have it with the water heater (to the left).

The white pipes are the intake (from the catchment tank) and supply lines (to the guest house). These will be connected to the pump. The copper pipes are the cold (supply to the solar panels) and hot (from the solar panels) for the solar system and the hot and cold water supplies to the main house.

One this pump installation and connection work is done, we can turn the water on in the main house and run the solar system. We planned it so the work would be done in one day, so we still have water in the guest house.
