Being up north, Ive been concerned about year round water, but I'm ashamed to say I never thought of putting two of those inside the house, and move an outside one to the sunny side when it gags close to freezing. Wow, that could help a lot. Your pump is really loud. Is it a piston? Rotary vein pumps are, or should be, much quieter. One day, later on down the road, you could see if there's an old RV at a scrap yard or something, and pull one out. Should just be a gentle hum.
I’m just wondering what all I would need. I plan to run pex. Have a tankless water heater. A pump. Was just wondering what else would be necessary for a small water system like that.
Hey the pex manifold. Do you need to have that? I’m in the process of booking up a tankless water heater at our cabin. We have a natural spring. Water come into a tank very similar to yours. All we will be using water is to run to 2 sinks and a shower. Do you think a pex manifold would be necessary for just the 2 sinks and shower?
Well, I think they use smaller manifolds. If you have no plans to expand your system you really don't need it. For me, it just made things a lot easier.
I put bleach in the water about every 6 months, half a cup in each tank. The water is used only for showers and to flush the toilet. We also wash dishes with it, but for cooking and drinking, we have bottled water. It's filtered 3 times from the roof, I have never had a problem with it going stagnant. We have a 10,000 septic tank with a regular drain field.
Hello, I have a quick question, let's say I do have a water tank on the roof of my house and I would like to add a tankless water heater, how do I go about that? The pump is pulling water from the reservoir up to the tank correct, now wheres does the hot water heater gets connected????
The pump [ushes it up to a pex manifold which loops to the water heater. It feeds the water to the heater, which sends the hot water back to the pex manifold which supplies the hot water to the faucets.
Hey I hope u respond to comments still. Lol. What hot water heater do u have and is it still good / enough for your needs. Where did u get yours. Thanks
It's hard to say we are only out here a few days a month, much more in the fall during hunting season. For that, it takes me about a year to go through a tank. If we were out here full time I would upgrade to a bigger tank.
Great to see some links to the products you used. Do affiliate links and you can get some commission from it. Not a bad vid, could use some more details though.
@@thesammy532 septic tank with leach line ? You could dig a shallow trench 2'-3' fill halfway with gravle lay leach pipe,then cover pipe with remaining gravle. About 25-35ft. That should last a long while. Cover it with plastic tarp so that ground doesn't saturate after rain. Maybe even plant a thirsty tree nearby
The water is filtered three times for particles. I do treat it with bleach every so often, but we do not drink this water. It's only used to take showers, and flush the toilet with. We drink and cook with bottled water
@@thesammy532 just get a counter top pro-pur water filtration system and save hundreds yearly instead of buying bottled water...best tasting water you can get, filters out 99.9% of everything cleaner than bottled water.
@@girlonlaptop Well I did get a 5-gallon refillable dispenser bottle that cost 32 cents a gallon to get refilled. We will have 2 and rotate. That is an idea though, thanks.
love your home man well done
Good job bro!!!! Looks great!!!
Subbed! Love the vids and cabin. You will have hundreds of subscribers in no time!

Do you pre-filter the water before entering the inside tank? I see that you have a first flush diverter, is that enough to protect the pump?
I like your hole place well donep
Awesome! Can you put list of products you used (ie rain barrels, on demand hot water heater, water pump, etc) please?
A tip: watch movies on instaflixxer. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Kaiser Jon Yup, have been using instaflixxer for months myself :)
@Kaiser Jon Yup, been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
@Kaiser Jon Yea, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :D
Thank you for the great video 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m just wondering what all I would need. I plan to run pex. Have a tankless water heater. A pump. Was just wondering what else would be necessary for a small water system like that.
5 water filters set up for your clean drinkable water
Cool set-up! What is the brand name and specs on the water heating system?
What connectors are you using to connect to the pump? I know those pumps want the vinyl tubing connected to it.
Inverter on the water pump to get down to 12v? How is the water pressure? I'm thinking of this exact setup for my off grid cabin.
I use a 110 to 12-volt inverter right at the pump. The water pressure is good just like in an RV when you use the pump.

Hey what did you end up using?
That's actually exactly what I was dreaming up, so glad to see one in the works. Have you had any issues with the on demand water heater?
Its been working well for about 5 years now.
Is your on demand water heater a 6L unit or larger one such as a 12L?
www.eztankless.com/products/EZ-101-p174993157
Looks like you have an AC To DC converter for the pump. If so what kind are they?
Simple 12v switching power supply I assume
Could you do a video about the gray water and how you tackle that
Do you treat the water to keep from going stagnant ?
And what type of septic do you use ?
I put bleach in the water about every 6 months, half a cup in each tank. The water is used only for showers and to flush the toilet. We also wash dishes with it, but for cooking and drinking, we have bottled water. It's filtered 3 times from the roof, I have never had a problem with it going stagnant.

What exactly is powering the pump? And what pump is it? Would you recommend it..
110 from solar with a 12 Volt converter...
Rad system man! This is pretty much how I want to install ours. We will be building a smaller off grid cabin at 200sf. What did this system run you?
And are you grid tied for power, solar or generator?
Curtis Anderson thanks for getting back! Great video!
Thanks...

how long does the 20 gallon propane last?

What is the model of your 12 volt water pump and are you happy with it? Solar/battery powered?
Yes it's been working well for 5 years. www.amazon.com/dp/B010TKMK4O?tag=track-ect-usa-27013-20&linkCode=osi&th=1
pex manifold !?awesome
Thank goodness someone called it by its search name.
Do you leave the propane on the whole time your there or just when using
I leave it on the whole time I'm using it.
2500 Gallant infiltrator water tank
What type of sewer system do you have ?
I have a septic tank and a drain field.

heat the pipe ,,?
If put that up you can use gravity and you would not need the pump.
hecke1959 that’s an idea, but I wonder if it would generate enough water pressure to ignite the on demand water heater.
all without any filtration?

How much did this system cost you
Rough estimate around $1000.00 for everything
