[Public-List] Water tank

[Stephen Gwyn]

I've given up on getting drinkable water from the tank
under V-berth. I put in a small 5 gallon tank under the
sink and connected the flipper pump to that for drinking.
Short hose run, and the hose is clear so I can see any crud.
The tank is removable for refilling, inspection and cleaning
and cost $15, a lot less than the carbon filters I
was buying every year.

I connected the tank under the V-berth to a Whale foot
pump and then to faucet over the sink. It took a bit
of doing to get a faucet without taps, but I succeeded
in the end after several trips to thrift stores, metal
recycling centres and plumbing stores. I use it for
washing and water for coffee/tea/pasta.
