So we finally got solar and now that I hooked up a 3gpm pump vs gravity feed we are having to fill our 400l tank daily or twice a day.
I wanted to know if people had a recommendation on a ideally lower amp pump that will push that distance?
Also do you install a float so it waits until a certain point to start pumping ?
Thank you

400l tank and you fill it 2x a day? What are you watering? If your filling it that often why dont you just pump directly from the lake?

400 litres? 105 US gallons? That or more in an average day?
How many people? I hope it is more than 4. If not you should have them tote water in buckets for a day or two. That will help with conservation.
Here at home the 2 of us use about 2000 gallons a month. The math works out to 33 gallons a person per day on average. I know that is low compared to the national average.
When we travel in the bus/rv our use goes way down. Same if we go to our cabin; there a hundred gallons will last us a week. Well five days for sure and that includes showers. Not a luxurious, "I have all the time and water in the world" shoer, but a "I'm clean and do 't smell bad' kind of shower.
