    I get my hand pump working and install it until I break it.
    I also install an electric water pump and accumulator tank.

    From my own experience of frost and filling up the inside of a camper van with water, can I advise on a few things? Use an anvil cutter on the ridgid plastic pipe (fantastic stuff) as craft knives can leave swarf that cuts into the O rings. Use the deluxe pipe inserts that have 2 0 rings. Did you clamp up the pipe joint collars a quarter turn? Isolate the elecric pump when you leave the boat. If possible, avoid Jubilee clips and barbed connectors on the pressure side. For me it was an expensive exercise in futility and near insanity. Use T clamps and after they fail; join the ridgid plastic pipe to the pump spigot directly using the bespoke JG (or other) ridgid plastic pipe coupler. If you don't have the correct spigot on your pump (I think I have the same model) then order them in - its well worth it. It will save you a lot of grief in the cold weather after your hands have been covered in mastic, epoxy, superglue etc. The JG spigots (A smooth spigot with an anular grove 1/2 way along?) are normally included with the pump along with the Devil's own barbed pipe spigots. I don't use Jubilee clips on any critical unattended pressuried water (or fuel) systems anymore . They were OK on systems that worked from an on-demand electrical switch but not on a system that is left under pressure. Sorry if this sounds a bit 'preachy'! Here endeth the sermon...

      This requires a reread! 😂
      So Jabsco are (probably to save costs) suggesting a flexible hose either side to reduce vibration. I will look for better clips as I was using secondhand clips just to get the video out! 🙄😂
      I also rely on comments like this to set me straight so I’m pinning this comment and adding all of this to my to do list!😂
      Thank you so much to spending the time to write all this down! I really appreciate this.

    Pirate plumbing at its finest. You overcame the witchcraft of water. Archimedes approves your handiwork. As would Rube Goldberg. Or is this Buccaneer butchery? All you need now is a good reverse osmosis water filter unit in there to really ball things up--and for the water to be potable. What no adventure underway this week? Thanks for this Canice.

    I was right onboard for the first 20 seconds when you primed the pump. Then I sat open jawed and was lost until you started explaining what was going on at about 15 minutes. Although I still don’t understand plumbing, I at least recognized some words, calorifier, and accumulator, and was very proud of myself. Then you answered my big question. Why does Canice need a pump, and also another faucet with two faucet handles? Ahhhh….no electricity means you can still have a cup of water…..well after you clean the heck out of the tank. I am always amazed at the skills you have Canice. Good work!! Hope you had a good time polling 😊😂

      Hi Kathy,
      I was aware in the edit that I was not explaining what I was doing and I noted that I need to explain as I go, rather than a round up at the end! It’s not helped by it being a bit Heath Robinson!😂😂
      The pump is faster at delivering water than the tap! And a lot more fun!
      It is really coming along. Unfortunately I’ve been very busy working lately so I’ve not done anything to Linda, but I am making money to get to the next phase…
      This week’s video is another race in the Netherlands!

    Dear Canice, glad to see you again! About the quality of your drinking water: it's probably OK. Don't use any sterilizing goop, just keep the tank and the waterlines dark! If the water... also after two years, doesn't smell like algae, you can drink it! Look at the date on a bottle of mineral water. You can use it for over a year, without any sterilizing goop! I have been drinking for 20 years out of my 600-liter tank (also a polyethylene one) without any cleaning and without anything chemical. Don't worry...be brave. If it has gone in the tank as clear water, and it doesn't smell 'green´ it is still clear water...also after 2 years. I just started drinking the water from last season. No worries mate., don't be a wimp..drink it!

    • @canicebannon
      @canicebannon  Před 2 měsíci

      Let me tell you what happened. I saw white bits in the water and thought, oh my god what is this growing in the water….
      However, I have since remembered that that I used a lot of Teflon paste when joining the tanks connectors and a lot of it squeezed into the the tank and it’s worked its way to the bottom of the system… So, no soon as I pumped water it came out and it’s perfectly safe.
      Now that I know what it is, I will just flush it out. Good to know about the algae the whole lot is in darkness.
      I currently drink out of a steel tank in Jorja with probably tons of sediment and rust at the bottom of it!😂😂😂😂

    Hi Canice don't forget that you might have to repressurize the vessel otherwise the pump will start hunting , you can do this with a car tyre pump and Schrader valve gauge . Cheers

    Aha! Things are beginning to look civilized! Your ceiling panels probably pre-date running water, and it's entirely possible that Linda hasn't ever had such luxury.
    I can just imagine the Captain saying: "Ye've gone soft I tells ye. My crew were so tough that we'd drink the sea water out of a rusty cup!"

    • @canicebannon
      @canicebannon  Před 2 měsíci +1

      This is so true! The water system in Linda would have been a hand pump if they had water. I know Chris Kabel only had a steel tank and an electric pump with no accumulator. So this is a step up for Linda.😂😂😂

  • @chrisfryer3118

    I'd check that all the pipe and fittings in your drinking water supply are WRAS approved as undesirables such as plastizers may leachate out into your water. These plastizers are generally harmful if consumed. I speak as an analytical chemist who had several pesticide experiments invalidated by plastizers leaching from nylon sampling pipes.

    • @canicebannon
      @canicebannon  Před 2 měsíci

      All of it is, except for the plastic valve. I will change it for that reason. I don’t know what the plastic is or whether it’s approved by wras.
