We do not normally encourage folks to try heating water with a rocket stove.
The potential for water to flash to steam and implode/explode the water lines is high.
Having said that.
Consider heating a tank of water with a batch box RMH inside a brick bell, it is a proven safe system.
Pumping that water into other tanks would be safe and easy.

I have only read about this concept though I like it.

A berm makes a great wind break. And we all like to break wind once in a while. Like this tiny ad:
