My Water Shed

[Lucid]

Hey, I just finished (mostly) building my new water shed inside my home. It was an unfinished bathroom I wasn't using, so I converted it! The room is 5'x8' and was just studs, insulation, rough plumbing, & wiring. I drywalled and laid a linoleum floor etc.

I have a utility sink, RO/DI unit, 55g RO/DI water drum, and a 35g Saltwater mixing drum. Still have to add in a few extras here n there, but I am GLAD I finally got to this stage.

Check it out, some finished pics...

Looks good!!!! The only real difference between yours and mine is I have a toilet in mine, real good for contemplating your next move!!!!

[Lucid]

Thanx! Yeah a toilet would be nice. I had to rig my sink drain to the sewer pipe as the sink drain pipe is capped off/blocked. Though now I finally have a sink to wash out my acrylic brushes.

That utility sink will be a Godsend. You don't believe how much you will use that!!!!!!

Nice work on the room!!!

[Lucid]

I'm also thinking of putting a medicine cabinet/mirror over the sink to put all the meds I'll likely need. Will have to goto Lowe's today and shop around a bit.

[charlie]

What about just a shelf that runs the length of the wall above the sink? Place it high enough so that if you have kids, they can't reach the goodies?

[Lucid]

Thats a GREAT idea and I do have some old stained bookshelf boards/hardware sitting in the corner of my workshop collecting dust!

[charlie]

Better let them collect dust over your sink!!! They are kind if trophies, they gotta collect dust somewhere, might as well collect it in a functional spot.

Hey the 3rd picture is your drain I believe from your sink...but it goes into some type of black fitting?! Can you explain that please....hard to see what it is in the pic.

[charlie]

Is he recycling the waste water????? Looks like a DI or carbon filter. Good catch!!!

[Lucid]

thanks Rocky! that is a rubber cap+clamp to cover the toilet drainpipe. I cut out the hole for the PVC and 1/4" RO drain line hole. allows it all to fit snug and no gas to seep in the house.

I had to do it that way since the sink drain didn't want to drain and I got lazy not wanting to crawl under the house to see if the drain was cut into the house plumbing. dang on obstacles in my way lol. I plan on doing it the right way asap... or maybe when the spiders are not out in full force.

btw, Charlie, I ended up at Lowes today and found a sweet med. cabinet+mirror for only $30. couldn't pass that up!

here's a different shot of that. not the best, but I did try to get it in there.
