Hello All,
The latest progress was something I thought about for a long time, wasn't sure at first how we would heat the water. Propane was an option, but decided against it as I need to purchase that, not very survival like. So we went with electric off the solar bank. The sink is a basic 15x15 SS deep bowl. Plumbing this whole thing was scary in thought, a nightmare with home depot help. They sold me some PVC stuff and some glue and sent me home with instructions, I do not have any plumbing knowledge. So I made some T connector with 1/2 " out, on their instruction. I was very explicit about 1/2" NPT. that was a huge failure. So I did a little more thinking and some searches and found what I needed. A brass T with female 1/2" NPT in and male 1/2" NPT out. The rest was simple pre-made hose connections from pump to cold and hot water supply and then from HWT to the faucet. The fresh water tank holds 44 gallons, and HW tank is 4 gallons for a total of about 48 gallons. I plan on draining to another tank, but for now a catch bucket has worked fine. I purged, filled and primed system before powering up the HWT, 25 minutes to heat water, at tap under decent pressure very hot water, cold works great and the pump seams to be more than adequate, 12V Flojet.
