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.

Why retrofit if you already have a well...? I don’t understand the connection – with a well, I can distribute 20 taps around the garden/house, whereas with an outdoor faucet connected to the house water system, you’re quite limited. Also, there’s the risk of dead-end pipes if they aren’t used for a long time.If I understood the plumber correctly, this is no longer common practice. The outdoor faucets are now connected in a loop with other water consumers. I was curious because I noticed there are usually two pipes running to each faucet.
By the way, I would have liked to have a well too, but unfortunately, only shallow groundwater can be expected in our area. Maybe we’ll install an underground water tank.

I have now received an offer directly from the responsible plumbing company, bypassing the developer. They can install an exterior water tap directly at the supply shaft (which runs along the gable wall). They want €250 gross for it!Great! That’s how it should work
