I am a heavily pregnant homesteading noob. I just moved out to my land, parked my RV, and started setting up utilities.
I have bought a 3,000 gallon water tank, hooked up my guttering, and bought equipment for my pump house (32 gallon pressure tank, tee manifold with a shut off valve, and two filter systems for sedament).
I have never done plumbing in my life, but after extensive research and the help of a friend, I know how to connect the guttering to the water tank and the pump house to the house. What I do not know is how to get water from the rainwater tank to the pump house. Someone asked me if I was going to have a sump pump in the rainwater tank to pump water out to the well house. It was my understanding I didn't need antthing to pump water out - just PVC pipe connecting the water tank to the pumphouse system. I was under the impression that water would naturally flow with no problem into the pumphouse in the same way the water naturally flows from my guttering to my rainwater tank.
Am I right, or do I need to purchase an extra pump to pump water out of the tank into the pump house?
