You need 28-inches of elevation to get 1-psi. So, the first question is do you have enough height available?
It may be less expensive to construct a large pressure tank, rather than a gravity tank.
And, when you store water it tends to develop bacteria. So how do you plan to assure it keeps circulating and you are using the oldest first.
I'm in the third world, hence the intermittent pressure and electricity. Everyone either buys distilled water or boils it first, even without a questionable tank. I don't think you can even buy sanitation tablets as drinking tap water without boiling is completely alien here.I for sure would not drink any water that has been sitting for any length of time without sanitation. Especially when stored in a vessel of unknown history. You are better off stock-piling 50-100 gallons of sealed, bottled water. Also get yourself some sanitation tablets for true emergency use.
What about showering? If the water is not safe to drink then spraying it in you're face is potentially dangerous as well?I'm in the third world, hence the intermittent pressure and electricity.
