Quick build update

Here is a quick update of the installation of the fridge, fresh and grey water system.

It was proving difficult to locate the position of the bolt holes for the fridge.

The holes drilled in the photo above are ones taken off a previous template… they were somewhat wrong.

So we put charcoal on the feet, made an impression and determined the centre. The holes are not yet drilled, but at least they are in the correct position now.

You can see from left to right. Mesh pre-filter – removes sand and other contaminants which could damage the pump and clog the system.
Step down adaptors – Converting 1/2 pipe into 5mm pipe compatible with the big filter and tap.
Then the big filter, and out of the top side of it goes to the tap on the right.

You can see the hose for the grey water is kinked. Well, it’s unfortunate, but it has to be, there isn’t enough room to have it bend smoothly, but it still works great.

Not pictured is the connection from the fresh water tank to the inlet of the pre-filter. It’s all coming together nicely, and feels great to finally get to do some nice finishing touches and install some of the gear that the whole system is built around.
It’s going to be a tight fit this cupboard, still yet to come in is the 6 gauge wire, fuse block, inverter, power point, battery monitor and switch panel.
