HI

I soon will have several IBCs at ground level to collect rain water.

(I have new pipework in place for the toilets and outside taps which all
go back to the loft, its currently connected in the loft to a mains
water pipe)

I have a cold water cistern in the loft which I can connect up to the
house toilets and the outside taps.

Now where can I find a good value for money submersible pump that I can
put inside the IBCs and pump the rain water to my loft tank, and will
sense when the loft tank is full? I presume I can use a ball cock
arrangement?

Rainwater at the back of my house is pumped by ordinary submersible
pumps from toolstation. I have used both Draper and Silverline and both
are marked something like 'not for permanent installations' but they in
fact seem to last many years,they are cheap, easy to replace and you
don't need a specific model.

I guess the second float switch in the loft would just over ride the pump.
