Re: SB: Gravity fed domestic water system



Hi David,

One thing to note with a gravity fed system is that when you increase 
the diameter of the pipe (and therefore the flow), you'll also be 
increasing your storage tank needs.

The water won't be coming out as fast as with a pressurized system, 
but if you're trying to come close to the quality of a shower under 
pressure you'll probably be using nearly the same gallons per minute 
- maybe more.
