The constant Question: I have to unscrew the PVC pipe from the sink to empty out the grey water, not a hard task (it’s only 2 gallon). The pipe is snug in the container but not tight, it's easy to remove. Sand it down to your containers opening to make it easy. This might not be the ideal way to do this but it works. Find what's best for your situation.
Great work! No need to be nervous you've done a fabulous job with everything on this little house. I really love that sink it's gorgeous and really goes with the decor of your home. Anxiously waiting for the next video!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! A "friend" who knows everything (he thinks) told me that without a water hook up, there was no way to live in a camper. I am sending him this video ... wish I could be there while he opens it and freaks out. Number one it works and number two it was put together by a WOMAN .... love ya girl!! Also: New subbie here
Nice. It shows how easy it is to quickly and easily make something that works, FREE of anything but your own ability. Have a similar setup in my yurt going on two years. But it's 15 liters/4 gallons with faucet and I place it above the sink. Nice to have both hands free while the water is running. Quickly becomes messy when both are very dirty IMO. 15 liters/4 gallons can last for days even when doing dishes and stuff. What I learned. When you empty the grey-water container, good idea to put something to catch what can otherwise drip from the sink or pipe (there's always a little). Oh and spray some natural soap on the inside of the grey-water tank if you don't want to clean it all the time to get rid of the stink (which comes quickly otherwise trust me - in the warm summer mere days). I'd like to try a foot pedal pump or the next upgrade. Something to make it really easy to start and stop the water? Cheers.
I hope your project went well. Glad my video could help. =D (sorry for the late response, haven't been getting notifications of comments on my videos).
Hey sounds like a great idea, you could make a into a studio apartment. =) Good luck on your project. (sorry for the late response, haven't been getting notifications of comments on my videos).
Nice work! Your video is to the point and easy to understand. I wonder if you could figure a way to fill clean water tank without removing it and to drain the grey water tank in place as well.
This is a good idea. I wonder if you could place the water source on top of your fridge and use the gravity to bring it down slowly, with an automatic siphon setup.
That could definitely work, I thought of so many different ways I could've done this but I went this route just to keep everything a bit more organized & homie. I didn't want the water containers taking up space on the countertop or be visible, so they are nice a tucked away under the sink cabinet. =) (sorry for the late response, haven't been getting notifications of comments on my videos).
Great simple set up, you could use a bottle with a tap attach a hose for drainage of grey water if you stick to earth friendly detergents. Save lifting heavy bottles if drained responsibly and discreetly?
Sorry for the late response, if you're referring to the counter top I cut out the hole for the sink myself. You can see a little more of that process a few videos back (the video called, "I'm Remodeling My Tiny House".)
@@xanaxsnax You could try to use some kind of flexible hose if you didn't want to unscrew it all the time. I've seen some people use 5 gal buckets for grey water, and they drill a hole near the bottom and put a drain spigot there that they can turn on and off.
Sorry for the late response, haven't been getting notifications of comments on my videos, I bought the faucet on Amazon. =D (all the links are in the video description.)

I'm thinking of getting a foot pump instead of a hand pump.

Thanks for your always encouraging comments!

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Detailed explanation, great visuals, perfect length and speed. And thank you for not having one of those long intros.
You're really smart! I've been looking for a plumbing free solution to a small THOW that I'm making. Glad I found your channel!!!!!
one of the best diy videos I've seen yet....easy to follow and I will be using this set up in my 18 foot preschool bus!
Sorry I missed you comment, I'm glad my video could help you out with your project!
How do you change the gray water container? The pipe is snug on there. Wouldn’t it be hard to wiggle it out after it gets full?
Excellent job! Quick tip. Habitat for humanity has the same sink for same cost.

This is awesome. Thank you lots and lots from Australia
How do you empty the grey water? It looks like it is fit in very securely and there is no flex in the pipe .
That’s awesome, I’m looking to convert the back on my mini van in to a small camper for upcoming summer camping..
Awesome! Good Luck.
i just ordered everything i needed off amazon, thanks for this video, it helped me alot!!! now the toilet.....

Sorry I missed your comment, glad I could help you out. Hope your project went well!
I am going to try to make this for my room I am renting I am gonna to make look like a tiny house
Hey sounds like a great idea, you could make a into a studio apartment. =) Good luck on your project.
(sorry for the late response, haven't been getting notifications of comments on my videos).
THat is a pretty cool idea. And if you get a tiny house later, you would already have the sink/counter/cooking area done!
That’s what I wanna do with my room. Make it look like a studio apartment/ tiny house now that I finally have it to myself
I like this system but instead of a hand pump they have a foot pump so that you can use both hands to wash your face
smart idea...wise guy...thanks
The simpler the better as far as im concerned...fewer problems and repair costs...i do prefer a foot pump but good for you...nice job

Well done video - but how do you empty it? Is there a way to do it w/out detaching everything for filling and emptying?
Great set up,✔❤

Simple enough! Awesome!!! Thanks.
Genius! Thank you for this reference. 😁
Amazing
Very nice! What is the size of your refrigerator & where did you get it?
Good instructions. Thanks. New subby. Good luck reaching 1000.
You are so clever! Nice job!
GENIUS!!! 👏😊👍
best video on the topic I've seen so far! Will for sure be using your video as my guide.. New sub for sure!!
Cool!!!!
nice
Cool build but those style pumps make it impossible to wash your hands without a second person to operate the pump.

Love this video! The sink base did you customize yourself or bought it already with sink hole?
Sorry for the late response, if you're referring to the counter top I cut out the hole for the sink myself. You can see a little more of that process a few videos back (the video called, "I'm Remodeling My Tiny House".)
How do you empty the grey water with the pvc attached to the sink? Do you unscrew it?
Yes, I unscrew the pipe. Doesn't take more than a few seconds. I use a biodegradable natural soap & use the water in my garden.
Love it. I am doing this in my van. Thanks for the info.
Thanks! Good Luck on your project. =)

Gr8 vid! I saw a lot of negative reviews for this hand pump. Has it been leaking at all for you? Thanks for posting!
Where Sid you get the pump faucet?
thank you for this!

Sorry for the late response, haven't been getting notifications of comments on my videos, I bought the faucet on Amazon. =D (all the links are in the video description.)
Do you have the link for the pump faucet? Thanks for your videos!
We're did u buy the hand pump wat was the cost of it also
All the info is in the video description.
What about for the shower ?
Wash one hand at a time I guess...foot pump may be more convenient.
