All my plumbing has to fit under a door with 5/16" clearance (supply and drainage). This is because I'm incredibly autistic and don't want to leave my room (or maybe just because I like tinkering.

The drainage pump I'm using is self-priming and gets decent flow rate with 100psi through a 1/4" tube, but more recently I've been playing around with vacuum canisters which make it simpler to drain the condensation tank from the airconditioner and give the possibility to drain into container to make sure food or other debris doesn't get into the pump.

What is the purpose of all of this? To route water to your room?

And what the fuck are you doing with all that shit for a condensate pump? Run the water into the coils of your fridge and increase the efficiency at the same time.

I drive the toyota - unfortunately I still have to work IRL.

>>1097026
Condensate from the aircon, drainage from a basin, water to the evaoprative cooler chilled and to drink, room temp water for cooking, hot water for washing up and boiling water for ramen and coffee.

Just upgraded the vacuum pump, I'm going to run the old one as a compressor - should be able to do some interesting things with that, maybe even some pneumatic actuators...

How about another tube to suck the shit and piss right out of your body, so you don't even have to push anymore?

Nevermind, just patented the shitsucker. I named it the 'OP 5000.'

Man, I'm in a bad mood today.

I'm renting, so I can't put any holes in the wall, the only way to get water into and out of the room is to run the tubes under the door, along the hallway, and under another door so I can hook up to the water supply and drain pipe under the bathroom sink.

That's incredible! Lazy and autistic as fuck, but incredible! Though I'd suggest using some solder and heat-shrink to make the joints more permanent and aesthetic. Also put current meters and thermometers on all your shit so you don't burn your house down.

Just replaced the aligator clips with crimped and soldered insulated spade connectors. Fuses aren't necessary since all the wiring is rated 15A or higher and the power supply can only supply 10A.

Are you drinking AC condensation or disposing of it? Good chance you have lead poisoning if you are drinking it.

Just get one of these OP, it works in a campervan.
>>
>>1101104
Buy a new door.
Cut holes in your door, install grommets for the tubing. Run pipe to and from the flexible tubing so the door still works.
When you're done renting, put up the old door.

You can afford it, you fucking retard. It's less than $100.
>>
>>1104564
You're assuming OP has any skills whatsoever.

You don't shit where you sleep.

That would be a permanent installation though.

>>1104355
Wait just a moment, I'm pretty sure that water is loosely diamagnetic, like a weaker superconductor. When a magnetic field attempts to change near the water, it will oppose this change. In practice, if you spin magnets (or electromagnets) very fast near a wet carpet, you may be able to move the water slowly off the carpet, but only in a horizontal direction. You'd need to bring the puddle off the carpet and onto something that it won't soak into in order to clean it up. Or even cheaper, vent all the air from your house and let the vacuum evaporate all the water.

As a plumber, I really hate these things. Something somewhere always gets clogged eventually. Then when someone flushes the toilet, all hell breaks loose because the toilet is a fucking pump. Gysters of shit spew out the vent pipes, across roofs, down gutters, shit blasts ceilings in lower apartments from sinks, toilets, and tubs.

Pic fully related.

>have two houses using 1 septic tank and field
>one house is lower than the septic tank
>the lower house uses a sewage sump pump to move sewage up to the septic system
>a clog forms right at the entrance to the septic tank
>when the sump pump activates in the lower house 55 gallons of raw sewage gets pumped up to Y junction and instead of going into the tank it goes the other way to the other house.
>the 1/4 horsepower sewage pump is powerful enough to spray shit water all over every ceiling that has a drain pipe.

That was such a long long day and included 6 hours of backhoe work to replace a crushed pipe because the previous owner didn't use schedule 40 for the sewage lines.

>pic related

The kicker is that the system is still like that. The owner didn't want to have a sewage pump installed in the upper house and have a check valve installed to prevent that from happening again. Another septic field was out of the question.

>The owner didn't want to have a...check valve installed

If that were me and shit were sprayed onto the cieling, the *second* thing I'd be asking is "How do we stop this happening again?"

(The first being "WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!" obviously)
>>
>>1105348

This is why I always pay to have the septic inspected before I buy a house. A 100 dollar inspection has spared mealot of big messes.

You have anymore pics?
>>
>>1105367
>You have anymore pics?

None worth posting.

I always have professional inspections for land drainage, roof, foundation, plumbing, etc. I don't do them myself for legal reasons. I also have the property lines surveyed. Everything may cost upwards of $1,200 before buying, but it is worth it.

>>1105359
Evidently money was an issue. I really don't know. You have to shake your head sometimes.
>>
>>1105410
>I can sell you this valve that will prevent your house from filling with shit.
Nah, sal good. I'm a faecopheliac.
>>
>>1100187
what do you use the compressor and EQ for?
>>
not sure if the OP cares anymore but you could use UV lights to take out any growth also if you use your many (what looks like servers) and water cool it you should get water hot enough for coffee and ramen.
>>
>>1105346
I threw up a little.
>>
why dont you just have a pump to pump water to your room and just use a coffee maker to make the hot water and use ice cubes for cold water
>>
>>1107861
Recording music

>>1108169
Why not just heat and cool the water with a heater and chiller?
>>
>>1107863
I've thought a bit about UV sterilisation, I'll probably need to circulate water through a tube to make sure that the spread of the light is concentrated evenly.
