I have a 500 litre water tank in the cellar, filled with rain water. It is on a plinth so I can mount an external pump 400mm below it's invert level
The pump would then have to lift the water about 2m to fill a toilet cistern.
It does not need to fill fast, so a high flow rate is not required, but it does need to be automatic.
Does anybody know a suitable pump?
Lift pumps I've looked at seem to work on a manual switch (or float valve for sumps)
Power shower pumps are automatic, but rely on a positive head pressure to work.
Thanks for any suggestions
