Hello everybody
I use a 25 LTR Beerme Spirit Maker and would appreciate any advice on using a 2Mtr x75cm Rainwater Tank, gravity feeding through Bathroom through
the Spirit Maker into a bath and then returning by immersion pump to the top of the tank. Would it work

Welcome mate, what is the capacity of the tank?

You would be better off putting the immersion pump in the tank and using garden hose for the flow and return line.

Thanks you for the reply Sam. The reason for my using a tank is in saving water from my bath. If I pump from the tank I would lose all of my water down the bath drain. That is why I was looking for a recycle system

I see what you are suggesting Sam. Use the pump to the distiller and return hose.With the height of 2 meters I wonder if it would still return
