That is an interesting idea.

I think you mean the standard pipes that go into the house for water? If
so, that won't work (I don't think) because the booster pump at the tanks
pressurizes the water to something like 60 psi.

But, if I could somehow put a separate hose to the house from the tanks ...
that might work ...

But, the other ideas seem simpler.
