It's best if you get one of those little 6 foot hoses...


Remember if the power is out and you want to tap the hot water heater for water to turn off hot water heater breaker and only turn it back on once the water tank is full.

We learned at our previous house that water in the ground (in a 1000 gallon tank) is of no use if there is no electricity for the pump. When we built our current place we placed four large tanks in the ground on the hill above the house. We have gravity fed water at 35 psi with or without power. With power it's pressured up to 65 psi.
