Hello,
I am planning to install a rainwater tank for the garden and toilets/washing machine.
The distance from the tank to the house water system (i.e., the routing length of the suction pipe) is about 34 meters (112 feet), and the height difference from the bottom of the tank to the suction pump is approximately 5.00 meters (16 feet).
The height difference between the highest water outlet (toilet) and the house water system is about 5 meters (16 feet).

Questions:
1.) Is there a suction pump that can reliably handle this distance?
2.) What alternatives are available?
3.) Is a submersible pump (inside the tank) generally as reliable as a suction pump?

Many questions, and hopefully good answers from you.

1. No. For example, Graf uses two pumps, but not for the distance either.
2. Submersible pump on the pressure side
3. Well pumps are just as reliable
