Rear Bath Fresh Water Tanks

[Gregory OConnor]

Scott has a good answer to his question, in the question, replace
the T with a Y. I myself would just drink coffee and watch TV until
both tanks overflow.

Irrigation suppliers sell pressure compensating flow valves for drip
irrigation. I've used them inline on drip systems that run down hill
over 200 feet (major PSI variables) with little problem.

the problem with using a ball valve restrictor on one tank is volumn
change expodentialy with increased pressure at given line size. and
using a pressure regulator on the fill to maintain the proper
pressure for the adjusted restriction will only protect the top side
of the math. (just wait for both tanks to blow water)
