Guess what it is out of stock and my refund is being processed! What a !surprise. Was it showing as in stock on the website when you ordered? Yes, and the order was accepted etc. However it now does not appear so may be they did sell out - who can tell. Now looking for one of those IBC 1000l jobbies local enough that delivery is not £££££! If you do succeed in obtaining one, be warned that when full this tank will weigh well over one ton. R. Indeed, hole in the ground I think! "Northern Line blocked by possible 1.1 tonnes bomb" Don't give me any bad ideas - I've got plenty of my own thank-you ;-) N Just a thought. I have three rainwater tubs collecting from house and garage roof. Now if I got an underground tank I am sure a pump would be necessary to use the water. So, which is cheaper, metered water from the mains or the electricity to pump the water? -- Please reply to group,emails to designated address are never read. |

Pumping your own is much cheaper. The submersible pump I bought for my well is rated at 220w. Having measured how long it takes to pump 10L of water I calculated that pumping a cubic meter would cost about 6p, whereas Yorkshire water charge £2.31 per cubic meter. Mike |

Mike Agreed electricity is far cheaper and what is more Mike, your well is a damn sight deeper than a tank would be so your pump has to work harder to lift the water to ground level. The price of water also assumes something like 95% goes back down the drain and they charge even more for sewage unless you have a septic tank that is. Bob |

You mean a tank is not burried 45 feet down? :-) Mike |
