Can the water tank just be used without plumbing in ? As a normal gravity fed system?

that is how I used it. Just put it a little higher, if you can. I put something under it, like a board, or sometimes nothing. It works well.

Mrs. S that's exactly what the tank is... you mount it up higher than the board so that it gives you a gravity fed stream of water. The tubing is just the normal line between you and the tank. I hope that helps clarify.

Oh thank you to all, I didn't quite understand, I thought it had to be left permanently plumbed in in my bathroom for everyone to see!!!! So, I can remove ALL the equipment to a hide in cupboard (closet) when not in use, right? :-)

hi, I have not used my system yet. I do have 3 pdf instruction files if you can use them. I can email them

no controller needed, can (like mine) be plugged directly into wall for tank circulation

This unit should work on a gravity system as it shouldn't need a minimum flow like a tankless water heater does.

I would think so. There is a standard hose outlet (with valve) at the base of the tank. The tank comes with about a three foot length of hose. I replaced mine with a soaker hose that distributes the collected water over a 50 foot section of garden. The standard hose outlet has a (rather cheap, but effective) valve that will let you turn off the water distribution.

No. It has an attachment that allows a hose to drain the unit into the sink or sump or wherever. It is gravity activated

You can use it. I've done it but it is most certainly more noisy. The plastic doesn't muffle the sound of the running water into the tank. In addition, there is a bowl input pipe that isn't part of this assembly so the bowl actually doesn't clean the rim sides. To get around that, I have to put a tube up the main flow pipe and run that tube into the bowl rim input. You can do without but you won't get a proper fill.

It works fine without a tank, but a tank helps to ballast the system, so it depends upon what you want to do with it, or how many CFM you need per unit time.

This is not a reverse osmosis system. There is no tank. The water runs directly through the filters and out of the spout.

Yes. Should be treated as a small septic tank following code, usually a min of 10 ft from the house and buried with plea gravel or crushed stone on the bottom and surrounding the unit. The Access Riser is also a good bet. It allows you to have the septic cylinder lower for gravity feed from the house and allows the pipes to be covered. Don't forget the required shut off and check valves.

Yes, you will have to pump rather than gravity flow. My use requires me to pump up to a tank opening about 4 feet above the source (5 gallon container). It does a great job for me. Hope this helps.

No you cannot. This system is a gravity fed device that is fed from the top.

No, not unless the gravity flow has a head pressure of at least 15 lbs. It is a pressure tank.

Yes, may take a small bit of Home Depot parts, but not a big task, a garden hose is 3/4 plumbing on the female sideso just screw it to the 3/4 output of the tank, and Hot Water. depending on the hot water requirements, you mightget a valve or hose bib to adjust the flow, too fast and the hot water is gone, but you know your requirements.

Yes, just make sure you have the plumbing for it. Otherwise, that's all you need, no other parts.

No! Only remove the tank if you cannot handle it as one piece. I removed mine because I am a woman and did not think I could lift and place it in one piece. This is very easy to work with and can reuse it if you have a problem in the future,I will never use anything else again.You will love it.

No, you would need to change the water is well. completely different type of system. it's well worth it though!

No. This tank came already pressurized and ready to go. It was just a matter of hooking it up to the system. No filling or draining required, no time at all.
