Ah, yes, I was talking about a catchment tank (before the main pump; so the pump has water to pump) for the low-pressure input water. The pressure tank can be whereever.

Hmm. So a catchment tank, then even a small pressure tank after, might give a very nice experience.

And without power, the catchment tank would still be pressurized by the incoming water supply at 10psi, a nice fallback.

Now we only need to obtain the contract. Profit!

Even better, during war, calamity, or zombies, the catchment tank can provide for emergency water!
