Thanks for all of the feedback!! The filtration system is for my house in town. The cabin’s water supply is supplied by one of the biggest aquifers in the area, which, in turn is supplied by the Emmons glacier. There is no shortage expected there for at least the next several years and we pay a token amount for use of the community well.

In Seattle we’ve had the worst drought in decades. Looking at the all too reasonable prospects of this trend continuing, I'm starting to look into alternate ways for fresh water supply. According to the water bill, we use about 100 gallons per day, which I don’t think is accurate as we’re not at the Seattle house all that much, but anyway, I'm thinking of storing about 10,000 gallons of water and using a valve to turn on and off the city supply as needed. Plus, of course once it’s stored I need to filter it and put a pump near the end of the line to power the household needs. There will be a period of I'm not sure how long to collect water so it probably won’t make much headway until at least next fall, once i build the storage tank that is...
