I want to take water from under the bath (connected to the waste) and 'automatically' pump the water as it is draining from the there up to the guttering (which is filling my water tank that is sited on the side of my dorma) so 24ft. SO, I need a pump that will system that will sense/start/pump 24ft/stop...all fitted in the void between the bath and the bath panel.
Is there such a thing?

I suggest looking to the caravan/boat brigade, there are increasingly sophisticated plumbing systems designed for their use, and all running off 12/24 volts - this lot are very competent - http://www.whalepumps.com/ Wink
The other good thing is that all the bits and spares are available from dealers all over the country

You have to bear in mind that soap will solidify and with body stuff like skin etc (yuk) you will get nasties growing in the tank, specially if its getting nice and hot.

Beware of leigonella cross contamination into clean water, sludging in pipes and pumps.
