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?

SOT...

As everyone expects that just about all taps are connected to a potable
mains water supply, I would suggest a clear notice on the external tap:
"Rainwater - not for drinking".


Ditto the pipework....

ALl my potable cold water and hot water pipes are all in copper.

I did the rain water pipework in white plastic so its clear whats inside
the pipes when floorboards are lifted
