Portable Water System Install At The Off Grid Cabin

all right it's time to install the sink and uh the sink came with a template as well so I've measured between the inside of the window case and it's 34 1/2 in so 17 and A4 is the Midway Point that's right here so I've got that sitting there so I can eyeball this and get it close and I have the same um limitation where I can't come any closer than 3 and 1/2 in from the front so I'm going to go 4 in with this one and let's see if I just flush that up what that does oh yeah that's four and a quarter inches so that's what I'm going to do I'll flush that up and that'll give me a good a good location so let me get this marked out best I can and I know this doesn't have to be exact all right that looks pretty good all right now it's time to cut out the sink the hole for the sink so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right next what I need to do is get the sink secured in place and I've got some clips here and these have a little locking mechanism they lock into this side right here and then it allows you to screw up and this secures it in place so I want to these are not that easy to get on I want to see if I can get okay that actually went on pretty easy I thought I could get one side of these in place [Music] then I could work on at least getting one side secure then the the other side I'll have to do uh from underneath [Music] all right go grab a screwdriver and we'll get that tightened up and then get the other side done all right I remembered that this wasn't attached yet all I had to do is flip it up and uh made getting these in a lot easier [Music] all right now for the fun part I got to pull this away and then I can get behind there get my pump mounted connected to my 12vt system and then run my uh piping okay one smart thing that I did so when I had this wall torn apart I I ran wiring for my pump right there and that is right next to where I'm going to mount the pump so I should have I should be able to should be able to get that connected it up with no problem all right I think it might be easier for me to make my connections to the pump before I install it so the kit did come with some plumers tape don't know how much there is but I believe this is righty tidy yep so I want to put my tape on clockwise and I've got my uh strainer here goes on the inlet side let me make sure this is the inlet yes there's the arrow pointing in that direction so this is the inlet let's get the this installed okay now I need to have my hose adapters installed okay now this hose is going to come from my water source all right this has got to reach from here over I'm going to go ahead and get this mounted that and get everything in place that way I know exactly how far how much hose I need [Music] [Music] might as well connect up my wires while I'm here okay I'm going to have to pull the fuse because I don't want my pump running okay got the fuse pulled so should be able to connect this up okay now this is a pressure actuated pump so once I get all of my Plumbing hooked up I can uh put my fuse back in this will not run unless the pressure drops this is going to go to my water source which is a 7 gallon uh water drum and it connects with this so I need to get that installed and secured okay and now I need to get one of these uh clips and install on the pump side okay here's my water source I've got the uh female end I drilled a 3/4 in hole in the top of this cap and then installed this and now I've got the this end here which just snaps into place and that becomes a nice tight seal and then the reason I'm doing it this way is because when I'm done with my visit at the cabin I can just release it take this with me and fill it up again and bring it with me so it's portable okay the next thing I need to do is I need to get my uh water faucet installed right here so let me grab that figure out what kind what size hole I need to drill and we'll get that drilled okay so this is 18 in wide so I put a Mark here at the 9 in Mark and that's where I'm going to drill my hole [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] okay I'm going to want it like that all right I got this all tightened down so seems to be okay that'll be nice this will swivel as well so now what I need to do is I need to put these adapters on so that I can connect hose to this so I've got both the hot and the cold and uh what I'm going to do is I'm going to combine those so that you know I've only got cold water that way whether I've got hot or cold turned on it's going to work so I need to uh put some tape on here get these installed run some pipe to my uh adapter it's going to go 2: one and then I can have this go to the output of my pump and uh that's really all there is to it once I get all those connections made I can turn my fuse back on and the pump should be fine unless I'm actually using you know I open my water faucet I've got to get my pliers so I can tighten that down I'll do that in a minute all right let me get my pliers tighten those down and we'll get it connected here okay same thing here okay now the faucet is connected together so now I can take the last bit of remaining hose and hopefully it's long enough and this one end will connect here the other end will connect to the output of the pump and once I get those connections made I should be able to turn my fuse back on without the pump [Music] running okay that's complete let's get this onto the pump okay let's go uh put that fuse in and let's give this a little bit of a test okay my drain system is going to be pretty simple I just got this flexible drain kit which will this will screw onto the bottom of the sink and then this will fit into this tub and create a nice seal where this can drain into and you know this is flexible and the hose itself is flexible so you know I can there's a lot of options let's put the gasket there okay it's good and tight get my drain all right let's turn the fuse on and uh let's see what happens okay it should take a minute to come up to pressure see if we've got running water how about that and it's draining into my drain bucket all right we've got running water in the cabin
