looking to install  an electric pump (non automatic)   for water tank when we lose water supply    any recommendations?  thanks

A good brand is Hicharchi or Mitsubishi.

If you go onto the Electrical Forum, one of the pinned topics (I think) should be a diagram of how to connect your water system.

Most of us use automatic constant pressure pumps.

Threads about water pumps are found here or in DIY forum.

 

We have a Mitsubishi WP 255 with pressure tank attached.

Pressure tank much recommend to avoid frequent on/off.

 

255 is the power in Watt.

We have a two storey house.

If you have a ground floor only, a smaller model might suffice.

As above: Hitachi and Mitsubishi are most popular here. Can't do much wrong.

Non-automatic? Why would you want to control pump operation manually (if supply water to house when city water off)?

Mitsu 255 or 305 is a safe bet. 305 enough for even 3 stories like I'm using
