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.

Sebastian799 Sep 2016 13:37It depends on the region – here it’s not an issue, and my well provides around 3000 liters per hour (about 790 gallons per hour) year-round.
And yes, it requires some additional equipment, but it’s very basic technology, and a failure would never be critical... it’s obviously still for garden irrigation.
But what’s the point of that side comment about being “contemporary”? It’s neither one nor the other – different solutions for different needs. We made a deliberate choice… not because we’re fans of old houses.
A well is actually quite simple to install… and later on, it’s much easier to adjust the outlets, with the advantage that you usually only know where you want water access points after some time.
As I said, keep branch lines in mind...
But again: I’m not trying to persuade anyone, my intention was purely to encourage thinking about the fact that with such high prices for water outlets, a well can still be a cost-effective alternative.

First asking why... and then saying "I don’t care how others do it."
And later more about the Sebastian topic, "the way I do it is better."
*rolling eyes again*
Don’t you have any electrical wiring outside either?
