I was tired of lugging buckets of water back and forth and/or pulling out long tubing when I needed to get new water, so I ran it through the wall/attic using some PEX tubing and push connect fittings on the wall where it terminates. Also looking into adding a flow sensor to check for any leaks, but the only points of failure (other than the tube outright bursting) are on the push to connect fittings on the outside.

Why was you tubes bursting ??? I still the pump running at too high of a pressure grater than 80 psi and does it have a auto shutoff ??
 
Where did you find those wall plates with push connect fittings? This is really cool btw!
