Gravity fed water supply

:thinking:
I am thinking of some type of gravity fed system to use for a sink and for drinking. Does anybody have any good pointers or ideas for such? I am thinking of at least 5 gallons.?

Somebody on here (and I can't put my finger on it right away) posted some pics of a plastic jug with a hand pump from W$l-M$rt and a stainless mixing bowl for a sink. I've been thinking about something similar for a side table to set up where I get where I'm going. Probably not what you're looking for; but I threw my two cents worth in any how.

There are many ways to do it...

Here's the way I did it in the Generic ET.

P.S. Here is the 5 gallon version...

Hunter, here's a link to the thread on how I did it on my tear. I used a two gallon tank, but a bigger one would work, and might give more pressure.

I'll be watching to see how you do it. I've been thinking of the complete
opposite. I want to hook up a thick plastic water container under pressure,
similar to the old VW bugs windshield wiper system.

How does it drain out of the bowl? Drill hole install regular stainless steel drain?

Pick up bowl, fling water on ground.

I saw someone else had a similar setup, but had a bucket for the 'gray water'. I don't know what the rules are for what can be flung...

The rules can change from place to place as to what can be flung and what can't be flung. :thinking: :lol:

:thumbsup: Thanks to all for the info. It gives me some good ideas.
