Compressed air powered water pressure

[QUOTE="Dullard, post: 6284530, member: 646488"] "Thanks for the great input, though frustratingly nobody so far is actually addressing my questions" Upon review, I agree. Rive's answer (post #11) is about what I was thinking. I think there are several considerations that haven't been explicitly described - they are why no engineer would go down the road that you're discussing (given any other choice): Your 4000L 'pressurized storage tank' will have to be a pressure vessel. That's a lot more expensive than (for example) an elevated tank at atmospheric pressure. Your high pressure air tank will be a large pressure vessel - something like half of the water tank volume, if you want to use a conventional single stage air compressor, and larger if you want to keep the air pressures 'safe' WRT the storage tank and downstream plumbing.
