Solor water pump for 220 gal. water cistern
Hello,
I am the director of an environmental learning center in eastern NC and we have a small off the grid cabin/campground that we would like to provide  shower facilities using a rainwater cistern.  What type and size pump and solar panel and other equipment should I use?

do you have an existing pv or battery system, or generator?

do you have a pressure tank? 

more details would help,

No we do have anything but the cistern yet. The location of the cabin is off the grid with currently no source of power.

Rainwater cisterns are generally considered as non-potable in the US. Have you looked at county health department/OSHA requirements for this shower facility, to determine what water treatment might be required ?

Checking on that issue now. The information I have found so far is promising.
