(ET) Thinking more about this water tank thing....
Ok, it's looking like what I will need is a well jet pump. A reasonable
Craftsman one can provide 40 pounds of pressure at up to 10gpm which is
way more than I will need to run a garden hose.
Problem is all well pumps are built for 110 volts. And while I could
provide 110v with the rotary inverter, that just seems to be the height
of silly.
So where can I get a well pump *without* a motor? Then what kind of
motor would I need? Do I have to go with a motor the size of the E12
shunt, or would a simpler motor like a deck motor be enough?
And are well pumps reversible (probably not, but maybe) Worst case I
could just plumb in a set of valves and reverse the water flow to the pump.
This is starting to take shape in my brain
