That 2500 gal. tank is a good start
The 2,500 gal. tank is in use, water gets pumped from our well when there's sun, but before solar was all hooked up I had to use a generator. To get water into our camper I hooked up a RV water pump with a car battery and solar panel. This keeps us from burning through the big batteries at night, the tank is effectively our battery.
Then we've got three 275 gal. tanks to use for livestock and gardens, but I'll hook those up in the Spring. I need to plumb a hydrant that will pull water directly from the well instead of from the big tank.
We're going through about 700 gallons/week
it's me, my wife, and our two boys
and the livestock:
5 goats
8 pigs
21 chickens
2 ducks
2 LGD's
