Piotr198131 Jan 2020 22:28We are planning to build or buy a rainwater cistern. Has anyone here had experience with this? The cistern is primarily intended for garden irrigation.
According to the development plan, rainwater infiltration on the property is not allowed.
Concrete?
Plastic?
What else should we consider?
Toilet connection?
Where to position it?
I would like to take this into account directly during the excavation for the foundation slab and have the hole dug at the same time.
Looking forward to your ideas and tips.

In addition to precise drainage planning and possibly an irrigation system, I would recommend including a suitable filter right from the start and installing a generously sized conduit pipe, for example, from the rainwater cistern to the equipment room. This way, you will have all options available up to the maximum level of house utilization. If you want to take full advantage of this, besides a domestic water pump system, you will also need appropriate water pipes leading to the points of use.
But most importantly, the exact elevation levels of the connection and transfer points must be determined, along with attention to backflow prevention levels.
Choose a branded product; then, regardless of the material, the load-bearing capacity is usually not an issue.

If you want to use these options, you will need not only a domestic water system but also the necessary water pipes to supply the appliances.

What do you mean by conduit pipe for technical installations? Maybe you could send me detailed tips via private message.
We had to build two cisterns for firefighting water, which we are now allowed to repurpose. Back then, the two units cost around 5,000 euros including installation for 23,000 liters (6,079 gallons). Connecting them to the household drainage was quite straightforward – the planning of the irrigation system is much more complex.

We were recommended a maximum of just under 5,000 liters (1,320 gallons).
Generally, I mainly want to water the garden and possibly also use it for the toilet, if it’s not too complicated. I really have no idea. I’ll have to discuss it with my architect.
