Avoid the Grundfos pumps mentioned earlier. Way overpriced and unreliable. Get a 3/4 hp pump from Sears. A bit more noisy than others but cheap and parts are readily available. I've had one for 8 years with no problems. For a holding tank, go to Ace hardware and get a 2 gallon size. It will do the required job of making life easy on the pump without costing you a few hundred dollars. For a uv system call Phillip Jenkins in Volcano. I have his number somewhere...I have to dig it up if you can't find it in the phone book.
A 20k tank is not too big. We are into dry times right now and climate change may mean more of the same to come. Of course you can have water delivered but having to buy water when you live in a rainforest seems unnatural.
Now here comes the pitch. Check out my site for info on our lifetime tanks. www.pacificgunite.com. Here are the prices http://pacificgunite.com/water_tank_prices.htm. They are quite a bit more than the steel tanks with the bird net covers. But if you are going to live on your property for any length of time they are the bargain. I never would have devoted so much of my life to this product if I didn't totally believe in it.
