So I've got a stream at the bottom of the garden that just about flows the entire year. I was thinking of using a bankside filtration chamber to run water up towards the house, then into a black IBC (with a pond heater inside for the winter), and finally pumped around the house. I reckon that I'll need one of those three chamber UV and mechanical filters and some chlorine tablets for the tank, but I'm not sure about pumps. I am quiet interested by a negative pressure pump that would come on when the tap is turned on inside the property. I'm also not too sure how I could tell if the filter stopped working. I'll be drinking the water. I'm hoping to be off-grid before winter when it gets too cold. Has anyone done this kind of thing before? Hopefully I can also use the gutters, but I have found out that is a bit more risky due to bird poo.
