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.

For me, wells and cisterns, etc. are always seen as additional to the outdoor water tap anyway.Same here! Nowadays, a well does not replace a water supply line.

Bieber08159 Sep 2016 10:39Because water from the tap (like electricity from the socket) is reliably, instantly, easily, and in high quality available directly. And because during new construction the effort is manageable (retrofitting, on the other hand, can be quite painful). The outdoor water tap is a piece of infrastructure that simply belongs with a house for me (like the outdoor power outlet for electricity).
Of course, the outdoor water tap is objectively just as unnecessary as the concept of a single-family home itself. And of course, anyone is free to build their house without an outdoor water tap...

Sebastian799 Sep 2016 10:53Why add an upgrade if you already have a well...? I don’t understand the connection – with a well, I can distribute 20 water outlets around the garden/house. With an outdoor faucet connected to the house’s water system, you are quite limited, and there is also the risk of dead-end pipes if they are not used for a long time.

Bieber08159 Sep 2016 11:50A well is simply not the same as tap water from the wall. Of course, you are free to see it differently. One additional point might be that for many homeowners during the construction phase, it is probably easier to arrange for an outdoor faucet than to have already worked out all the details of a possible well at that stage. And, as I have mentioned before, having an outdoor faucet does not prevent you from drilling a well and/or collecting and using rainwater.
