ᐅ Outdoor Water Connection from the Kitchen – Is It Possible?

Hello everyone,

We forgot to include the exterior water tap in the special features list.

Now we had the idea to simply use the water connection in the kitchen and branch off to the outside wall. My question is whether this is that simple?

The distance from the water connection to the outside wall is about max. 2.5 meters (8 feet 2 inches). So the route would be quite short. The wall itself consists of 12.5 cm (5 inches) calcium silicate brick + 22 cm (9 inches) insulation + plaster.

I was thinking of running a hose in the kitchen and installing a separate valve there so that the branch can be closed during winter.

I would be very grateful for any ideas.

No, that's clear – how deep is it installed?

A well is truly unique. For example, in our case, the entire drilling for geothermal energy was completely dry (after just a few meters, only rock, because we are located on a mountain and there is hardly any groundwater, it probably all flows away).

My neighbor reported that the geothermal drilling went down to 62 meters (203 feet) and did not find any usable water source for a well. Only groundwater was encountered on the way down.

Then there are regions where wells are possible, but the water is toxic. However, I don’t want to speak negatively—this problem is certainly not widespread.

I just wanted to point out that if a single outdoor water tap costs 620 euros (or even 300 euros – usually you want more than one), then it makes sense to consider drilling or flushing (if possible), because financially it becomes worthwhile.

Depending on the size of the irrigation area anyway...

For me, wells and cisterns, etc., are always considered additional to the outdoor water tap.
