If the tanks are in the kitchen, can u not just use a pump and length of hose into sink and then from sink to tank? Sorry if I missed something back in the thread! Tried to keep up but I’m far from technical!!

The water needs to be hardened first, so it can't go straight from the tap into the tank

You're both right.

I'm going to try using my pump/hose to pump water from sink to container where I harden water. 

Water needs to stay in container for several hours.

To dispose tank water, I'm going to either try siphon & extra tube & siphon direct to outside, or I can get an extra storage container (the same so they all stack when I'm not using them), siphon into there & then pump outside.

Already using pump to return water to tank.

Would be great if I don't have to get too much extra stuff, as it all needs storing away somewhere when I'm not using it.
