Which cistern (cost, cleaning, quality, and durability)

Hello

Which cistern should be chosen based on cost, cleaning, quality, and durability for about 5000 l.
Concrete (which) or plastic (which)
What do complete systems with installation cost?

Due to the development plan, we were required to install a cistern and decided to accept the offer from the BU and had a 4.8 cbm concrete cistern built. The price for this, amounting to 4800,- EUR including installation, initially seemed very high to us, but it has already proven to be justified. It included not only the cistern and installation but also a corresponding submersible pump, the laying of a conduit pipe to the house, electrical installation so that the pump can be switched on and off from the house, as well as the installation of a supply point at the house with a Gardena connection that works in such a way that the pump automatically pumps as soon as water is drawn. A neat, integrated solution, worth the money and not some makeshift setup with a supply point next to the cistern with a domestic water system and the like.

Hello!

Understanding a development plan is not really easy; an inquiry at the city revealed that you are supposed to, but not required to!

For us, the additional costs - however without technology - would have been around 5,000 euros; we decided against it and will use one or two 1,000-liter lattice tanks.

The whole thing is also cheaper with a plastic tank (max. 1,000 euros) and an excavator from the construction site next door (50 euros).

But I never calculated when it would pay off - probably the concrete version after 50 years.

Would a borehole also be possible!?

Best regards,

True words, spoken calmly.

In our case, it was similar in the development plan ("is desired"). An inquiry at the municipality revealed: you don't need to.
An inquiry at the water/sewage provider revealed: If you don't build a retention cistern, you won't get a drinking water connection.

After much back and forth, however, we decided to take the path of least resistance and built one.

Inquiry with the water/sewage provider revealed: If you do not build a retention cistern, you will not get a drinking water connection.

Hi!

I never even thought of asking them. Aside from legal concerns about such a demand – you’re allowed to lie to a blackmailer, right?

Great that you have a sewage provider – we have to produce ours ourselves.

Best regards,
