Jogging Water

[hierony]

During the non-freezing months, my yurt was connected to directly to an outside water faucet/hydrant for water. It was a pain to wash dishes once things froze, though (2 gal bucket of water next to the sink with a ladle for rinsing things).

However, I finally got my gravity water system setup:


I pump water from a bucket up into the glass carboy (6.5 gal) through a check valve, then when I open the faucet it siphons back down into the sink, draining into the 5 gal bucket below. Haven't measured the gpm (likely 0.3-0.7 gpm). I can do a day's load of dishes with about 2-3 gallons.

Next I need to put a filter between the pump & carboy to make the water potable. I need to do some research though. Any suggestions?
