This is the adapter that I have on my sink to run the drip system. I will be getting a sleeker look soon, where it will be a normal faucet that simply tees off without taking away use of the sink.
This is the filter, with one sediment filter and one carbon-block filter installed. Will be upgrading soon to a second chamber for a carbon-block, due to the increased water demands of the 2 523-gallon tanks.
This is the small ball-valve that I use to regulate pressure.
This is where I use coaxial-cable tacks to install the tubes for a neater, more professional look.
This is the irrigation drip emitter dripping water into the tank. That is it for the input-side of the system. Now for the waste water!
Note: That white thing that looks like a tube is actually a zip tie that I haven't gotten around to snipping yet. I will eventually be dripping directly into the sump, but I want to have it easily visible while I set it up for my viewing convenience.
This is the overflow tube that I have made out of PVC (sealed with PVC cement). The water flows from here into the overflow chamber.
This is the overflow chamber. The water flows into the PVC and out through the 1/4" tube into the condenser pump below via gravity/pressure gradient force.
Here is the condenser pump. It has a small basin for the waste water to collect and a float valve to activate the pump when it is full. The pump then drives the water out through the nipple to the waste line, where it flows out to the sink.
There you have it! The water constantly changes itself. No hassle, no carrying buckets. If you need some help setting this up, or have any questions about it, just post them here and we'll see what we can do.
