Was cleaning out my garage over the weekend (honey-do) and ran across some leftovers from a plumbling project I'd done during one of the many remodelling "phases" my poor house has been through (don't get me started). It occured to me that I had the makings of a decent water reservoir for my W/C set-up (not real happy with my HTPE bay res). Here's the result...
What I had: 3" DWV (drain waste vent, fancy name for plastic sewer pipe), 3" clean-out fitting with plug, 3" end cap.
What I bought: 2x 1/2" hose barbs, 2x 90* 5/16" hose barbs, 1' 5/16" clear tubing.
In less than an hour, I had assembled a very practical (but not terribly attractive) 1 quart reservoir with a nice big filler port and a sight gauge. Total cost (counting the value of the DWV parts), about $12. Woot!
