A pvc drain is enough .Ya I had the SS drain but in the end it was not worth the trouble .
thanks for Your suggestions

Thanks, like the other stuff down there I’m not sure about the amperage of the pump. I know it was for a motor home. It would be great to run wire to it versus a separate system.You can get cheap very heavy alu cable in mexico, in my opinion that will be the cheapest an less complicater way, what is the amperage of the 12 V pump ?
The distance is not that long .
That would be around 6-8 Amps not a problem at all , a number 8 copper cable will do easy for 60 feet, 6 alu cable, if the price is not much diferent go for copper .Thanks, like the other stuff down there I’m not sure about the amperage of the pump.

I agree. San Felipe said the water tanks were gravity, so it should hit the pump ok. Then the wire run can be shorter. If the tanks are 15-20’ then the RV pump can actually pump to a second floor if you have that need because the water won’t have any weight until it’s over the tank height.run the water line down to your hot water heater then hook up the pump and move the water to where you need it .
Thanks, I do have a multimeter, I’m just not in Mexico where the pump is but I found out it draws 5 amps. I’m wondering about the best option. I can run wire from the battery room or use a small inverter off the 110 plug that’s closer to the water tanks. Thoughts? If I go with a small inverter what size would I use?That would be around 6-8 Amps not a problem at all , a number 8 copper cable will do easy for 60 feet, 6 alu cable, if the price is not much diferent go for copper .
You do not have a multi meter with an 20 A range or even 10 Amp range ?
Correct. The tanks are on the roof just above the loft area that has a 1/2 bath. My plan is to install 1 OD water heater for the right side of the house, which feeds 2 bathrooms and one on the left side for one bathroom. I only supply hot water to the showers, not the sinks.I agree. San Felipe said the water tanks were gravity, so it should hit the pump ok. Then the wire run can be shorter.

If you can use 3/4 flex plastic pipe to the pump it will be pretty decent I think.
And yes, RV pumps 5-9 or 10 amps, tops. Mine’s 6.5 Amp, 6 is probs average, and they can do about 35-45 psi
I’m with you there.jees 5 Amps run a freaking cable even a no 10 will be plenty for 60 feet .

Is that a verifiable fact?sigineer is a chinese trading company ,not a Taiwanese, they told lies. their product is a copy junk. lost more than USD:1000

So because having a cool house in someplace in Nowhere Mexico is part of this I just wanna know how it’s going.in Mexico
