Self contained water reclaim and recycling sink


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Asking for a recommendation for a studio sink. I have water into my studio but can’t send any wastewater out because of a moratorium on our sewer lines. Does anyone know of a sink with a pump similar to the Rohde sedimentation basin that I can get in the US? I also saw something about using a pond pump to somehow create a self contained unit that allows you to use recycled water.  See links below. Right now it’s just me and small groups of students so we’ve been washing out in five gallon buckets but it’s definitely time to upgrade our system. Thank you!

There’s loads of ways to easily diy one of these with a laundry sink, some plumbing parts and a Rubbermaid bin. Or assorted buckets. Here’s a link to a good tutorial from this website, even. https://ceramicartsnetwork.org/daily/article/How-to-Make-a-Simple-Triple-Stage-Clay-Trap

Lots of folks just go for a Gleico trap, because they’re easy to clean, and they’re small so they don’t get too full. Or stinky.
