Question:pls answer this i need it for my assingment plssss.im froem ateneo de manila
Answers:
this eliminates the need for a pump, the higher you put the tank the more water pressurer there is, that is why water towers are always at the highest point of a town or city
If you want to feed the taps by gravity put it high up, but best practice is to use a small header tank in the roof space with a larger underground tank and pump the water up to the header, this way you can use rain water rather than mains water.
Because water will gravity feed to any source in the building without being under pressure or with use of a pump. The pressure will be really low so don't expect any exhilarating showers anytime soon, also some put a tank of water outside so the sun will heat the water in the tank.
