I wonder if you could pressurize this new water tank from Front Runner.

Grimbo, I agree. With mine I found that 5psi was all you needed to get near house flow

ive been working on my idea of this for some time now. things ive learned that will give you a major head start on building your own
4 inch abs black plastic pipe is 18 inches to a gallon.
shraeder to 1/8 npt adaptor is great for pressurizing.
i also put a vacuum break/fill port at the top. when you just want a trickle of flow.
when choosing valves for this look inside the valve for the restriction. meaning not all valves are anywhere near full flow some have holes small as 1/4 in yes that could explain why the garden hose in the back yard sucks compared to the front yard. boiler drain valve was the biggest orifice i could find.
its a good excuse to buy that new drill bit and 1/2 in tap for the valve or 3/4 in or you want
i found a 9 position flower watering wand that has a fireman style valve. big lever set and forget no need to hold it to spray some rope to an awning pole or tree and great shower.
thread cap covers are a cheap investment to prevent gunk/mud and for the vacuum break/fill at the top
2 4 inch caps lapped and glued flat to flat make an excellent guard around the handle and valve. do a lil notch for the spigot and never worry about another handle breaking off on a branch again also gives more interface for the tapped npt hole for the valve
i also went over board have an rv pump and a 10 plate heat exchanger can take cold glacier fed river water into a warm shower on lower volume at high volume its luke warm. if pressure and flow is important get the 20 plate system. on amazon under dudadiesel
