Connecting the water supply

All kitchens need water.

from the well a pex hose has been routed under the cabin, this hole in the floor was too much work to relocate, thus as for the microwave oven in the corner cabinet, the kitchen has been modeled around this "feature".

No pressure, no water.

Previous setup got too cold for survival, the hydrophore cracked and fell apart, new one is needed.
For the new setup I will stack the components in the following order:
* Hydrophore
* outlet to houses
* inlet from pump in well
*quick drain valve -lowest point.

All will be placed on the wall to allow for easy access and the possibility to drain the entire system by opening the valve.

Stacking of components.

Previous pressure switch connections.

All mounted to wall, time to test.

Stacked and mounted.

It was quite evident it did not build pressure. tool a walk acroos the yard and looked for leaks.
found a broken connection that needed mending.

Repair and restest.

Pressure is building and all seems ok.

Setting up the new pipes

Since hot water does not enter the house from the well a water heater is needed.
a sammelr one, about 10l is better than nothing, most likelt can be upgraded if need arises.
I want it hidden away, therefore placeing it in a cabinet above the fridge.
Not tightenning of any connections yet since mockup is still in progress.

Spacing out fasteners.

first 90° jpont in place.

Wall mounts are not final, cabinets willbe installet with the pipes inside.

Some pipes to bend.

First two bends in place.

A standoff is added to the wall, this will also be used to mount outlet to fridge.
Also added is a break out pipe to the heater feed line. thiss can now be used to pump compressed air into the pipes to help empty the water from the heater.

Standoffs testmounted on support.

Measurements are taken and the basin cabinet gets a hole cut
for the drain and inlet to house.

Drain has good clearance.

3D printed standoff is added to secure the valve

Clamp to be printed.

Clamp is made out of PETG.

Cabinet in place just to check bend.

Forgot to take a picture of the bends underneath.

Planning to use a diy leak tester, just to avoid getting water averywhere before
lettiing in water. sourced a few components and assembled this contraption:

leaktester.

Gauge, schrader valve..

Planning the setup for pressure safety valve and inlet shutoff.
More suitable location for the safety valve is in the basin cabinet.
the hose can be routed directly to drain.
Additionally, house inlet can be shut off for maintenace.

Close to wall bend seems ok.
