The pump

The pump lifts the water from the source to the pressure tank or the storage, powered by solar, battery, or generator.

The storage

A storage tank holds a buffer so the system keeps flowing when the pump is off, and its size matches the household's use.

Filtration, UV, or chlorination makes the water safe to drink, and the treatment is sized to the source.

The winter

Off-grid systems are winterized or kept in heated space, and the lines are protected against the cold.
