Just the opposite.
I'm leaving this one for just such discussions.
I'll do an actual build documentation on something with a separate comment section so as not to detour from the actual build/progress/components.
Something like Instagram (but not liberally biased/owned)).
:)
Hence the flow rate calculator results that I posted.
Most residential spickets produce 45-50psi at the outlet (which degrades depending on hose size/length).
But I follow your point. I'm just not sure it will be an issue for me. I can fill my tank in just over 3 mins.
Na, but thanks.
A discussion setting isn't really ever the ideal for documenting a specific build.
It's great for feedback but it easily strays off topic.
I'll relocate the actual build thread to another non-threaded site.
Revisiting this comment.
Not sure why gravity feed from a hose would be any slower than connecting the same hose to an inlet. The gravity inlet and tank opening is 1.5" going in which is larger than a garden hose. Even at full pressure and garden hose can only move so much water.
In any...
APUs are the devil.
Someone left theirs on...

Maybe a generator/APU thread is in order?
I don't have an APU in this build/thread. I covered my genset some pages ago.
Just trying to keep things on topic. I don't mind a small hijack, but this is supposed to be a build thread. Or I could change the title and start another that covers the...
The Laveo has the same specs as a traditional toilet. Never seen one of those incinerators before, but if those metal chompers got ahold of you then you might end up with crispy bits.

But then wouldn't it be easier to just....

I suppose I could devise a way to fill the tank via city line. But I've read some horror stories of folks blowing out their water tanks if the regulator fails.
I don't mind the gravity feed taking awhile. Plus I travel with a spare 20gals in Jerry cans that I can put into the tank. And the beach trailer is getting it's own 50 gal fresh water tank and transfer pump (but it's mostly for cleaning fish and hosing the sand off the dog, etc).
Yeah, the city inlet bypasses the tank. You literally have to throw the lever on the diverter valve inside to access one or the other. Independent lines to that point. And the systems have redundant backflow preventers in multiple locations as needed.
If the lever isn't in the correct...
My buddy has a lot of parties in his garage/backyard. Biker guy.
The men have a fire hydrant to pee on by the fence. The women have handlebars to hang onto and squat.
:)
I'm still going with the Laveo.
I'm thinking of having it come out of the wall on motorized linear slides.
With the theme from "2001 A Space Odyssey" piped over the sound system and some flashing LEDs.
Or not...
