Booster pump for Rainwater harvest system..

[Samt]

Going to be using a 1000lt IBC to collect rainwater at an infrequently used dwelling (no mains water).

Thinking of using one of these

http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cbm100ss-1in-stainless-steel-booster-pum/path/booster-centrifugal-pumps

to replace the header tanks (currently in a barn on a tower) and give us proper pressure water supply.
(possibly adding liff particle and uv filters in the future to give us drinking water).

Anyone any thoughts on how they last/value for money etc. The property can be vacant for a few months at a time, so we'd almost certainly be switching it off between visits.
Any recommendations for alternative (read cheaper) makes/suppliers.

Is it worth the money, or will it pack up in a couple of years.

My experience with Machine mart and Clarke has been favourable, you will probably find that the pump is a Grundfos or Lowara, and being stainless is as good as it gets, and with the Clarke label will be very competetively priced

Did your project work out? I'm attempting the same thing...
