**Pro Tip:** When delivered, our pump was not primed. To prime it, you have to open a little nut and pour in some water until it overflows. We did this using a plastic bag with the corner cut off.
**Pro Tip:** Do not run this kind of pump dry for more than 10 seconds.
**Pro Tip:** The tank must be pressurized to 23 psi which can be done with a bicycle pump.
**Pro Tip:** Use backflow preventers both before and after the pump so that the pump stays primed.
NEVER use this tank for anything other than potable water. ## Fresh Water Connections The fresh water tanks (from Sierra Site Services) will be located close to the service road (fire lane). From there a hose will bring fresh water over to the hub between the food fort and the shower. We will set up a Y-adapter, with one side supplying water to the food fort, and the other side supplying water to the shower/sinks. The [Shower](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/books/burning-man-infrastructure/page/shower-2026 "Shower 2026") has a five-way manifold which splits up the water for two handheld showers, two sinks, and a canteen filler. ## Grey Water Plan The grey water tanks (from USS) are located by the service road, too. The new shower system comes with a black tote which serves as a grey water "hub". All the grey water in camp drains into it via gravity, and it has a pump which pushes that grey water out to the USS tank. [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/3kGErQsZDnK1kJju-1aaf84e1-dd85-480a-bd04-3d963f221392-1-105-c.jpeg) There are two inputs on the top of the black tote (through the yellow lid) which are connected to the sink drains above it. There are also three garden hose attachments at the bottom. Two are connected to the shower drains and one can be connected to the food fort grey water output. Inside the tote is a yellow water bug pump that goes on and off automatically to pump water across the camp to the USS grey water tanks. ## Previous Years (no longer relevant) We have two of the [Harbor Freight 3/4 HP Submersible Sump Pumps](https://www.harborfreight.com/34-hp-submersible-sump-effluent-pump-with-heavy-duty-snap-action-float-switch-5400-gph-58029.html) ([Manual](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/attachments/7)) [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/58029-w3.jpg)These were intended to move grey water around camp quickly, say, from the kitchen to the gayflower. They pump water into a thick red 2" hose that looks like this: We have about 50' of this hose. There are two problems with this method of pumping grey water. The first is that the sump pump is meant to sit in a bucket that fills up with grey water causing the ball to float which turns on the pump. That means it never pumps the bottom *n* inches of water which can be a lot depending on the size of the bucket you put it in. The second is that those 2" hoses fill up with grey water and once the bucket is empty, they stay filled up with grey water... there is no way to cause the pump to push out the remaining contents all the way to wherever you're going. This means there is a manual step, after pumping grey water, involving walking the red hose from the source to the destination to gravity-force out all the water. The grey water tank provided by Sierra is low-slung and looks like this: With this tank, it's not a big problem to hand-caress the grey water from the hose into the tank. However, if you are trying to move grey water up to the Gayflower, where the tanks are probably 5' off the ground, it's not so easy. For the last mile, we have these little Water Bug Style Pumps:  That can be completely submersed in water and it will suck up virtually everything and pump it up through a narrow hose, which gets the last little bits of water up and out. It's slow, though, compared to the big sewer pumps. **New For 2025,** we bought a new [Milwaukee cordless pump](https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2771-20): [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-07/C5eV5ENB1h6fNOaF-image.png) This is a hand-sized pump that runs off the same chargers and batteries as our impact drivers. It uses garden hose fittings. We used this in 2025 to pump grey water from the food fort to the SSS grey water tank whenever the food fort fills up and it worked really well! Because it was so portable it was easy to move it to the Gayflower and move some grey water there, too. # The Kitchen Fort Water System The kitchen fort, delivered in 2023, is a marvel in camp automation, allowing us to bring a commercial-quality working kitchen to playa and start using it without any setup. However, we're still learning about the best way to hook it up to water. ## Fresh Water There are two separately plumbed fresh water systems: one for sinks and one for the ice maker. The inlet for each of these systems is on the passenger side, front. They are 3/4" garden hose inlets: [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/6jr4nmjSv6cW3Rit-final-exterior-pics-joel-spolsky-june14-10.jpg) **We no longer use the ice machine** as of 2025, as so much of it was lost in the war. The fresh water system is laid out like this:These tanks have an opening at the top, allowing air in and out so they can fill and empty. This opening also means that if you overfill them with a hose, the excess water just starts to pour out onto the ground without warning.
- a little Shur-Flo pump inside the trailer that can pump water up from the tanks to pressurize the system - a shut off valve inside the trailer that connects or disconnects the tanks and pump. Here's what the shut off valves look like: [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/W7VIhKNQFRqKWOf7-img-1722.png) ### Running the system off tanks In 2023/24 we ran the food fort by filling its tanks. Here's how that works: 1. Open the valve inside 2. Connect the hose, outside 3. Turn on the hose until the tank is full 4. Remove the hose 5. Close the valve inside 6. The pump will pump water up from the tank into the food fort system You need to do this for both the sinks and the ice maker, separately. We thought this was a nice idea because it got the water team involved every once in a while and avoided the risk of the kitchen using up all of our camp water by mistake. In reality someone had to fill the tanks once or twice per day, and in particular the ice machine's running out of water probably caused it to dump the water it had instead of just producing a lot of ice. ### Running the system without tanks In 2025 we started running the system without using its tanks. Here's how that worked: 1. Close the valves inside 2. Unplug the pump(s) 3. Connect the hose, outside 4. Turn on the hose outside 5. The external water pressure should provide water inside the food fort. The way we set this up: - The SSS 500 gallon tank is set up next to the fire lane. It comes with a pump and a 15' hose. As of 2026, there will be two of these so we can switch back and forth. - from the output of that hose, supplied by SSS, we'll connect - to a hose splitter with shutoff valves - to two smaller hoses - each of those hoses goes through a check valve (to prevent backwash) - and also through a water meter (so we can monitor usage) - one hose goes into the food fort main water (not ice maker! ice maker is dead!) - the other goes around to the shower system where it provides water for drinking, showering, and the sinks. ## Ice Maker (RIP) The ice maker system is just like the fresh water system, with its own tanks and pump and shut off valve. In 2023 and 2024 we were underwhelmed by the amount of ice this system could produce (it was nothing close to what it should have been able to produce based on specs) and overwhelmed by the amount of clean but undrinkable water that it dumped on the ground through an open spout under the trailer as a part of it's too-frequent "clean" cycle. In 2025 we want to give it one last chance by keeping it connected to pressurized water so it never runs out of water to see what it can produce.**2025 Spoiler Alert.** One thing we found was that the Ice Maker does *not* actually have a shut-off valve to bypass the tank. The Ice Maker **must** use the 50 gallon tank. Another thing we learned is that the Ice Maker was damaged probably due to not being properly winterized, and, for all intents and purposes, is no longer useful
## Grey Water - 2026 Plan We are going to try a system where the grey water goes, via gravity, through a hose to the shower grey water tote, where it joins with water from the showers etc. and is then pumped off to the main grey water tanks automatically. ## Grey Water - 2025 Plan There are grey water tanks under the kitchen which fill up about once a day. In. 2024, we pumped this water across about 100' to a grey water tank supplied by SSS. The waste spout of these tanks is a 1.5" ID threaded outlet. It is probably about 9" above the ground. [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/aSCR1oIgkWr6J25h-img-58531.JPG) For 2025 the official plan will be to put the SSS tank right next to the kitchen, and it will be exclusively used for kitchen grey water. The SSS tank is about 17½" high with input from the top: [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/xU279Wiehhea5rzu-picture1.jpg) To pump the water from the Food Fort tanks to the SSS tank, we connect a Valterra T01-0094VP or Valterra T01-0091VP to the 1.5" outlet, and then from there a small length of garden hose, to a transfer pump that can pump the grey water up to the SSS tank on demand. We use a [Milwaukee cordless transfer pump](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-18-Volt-1-4-HP-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Transfer-Pump-Tool-Only-2771-20/300510172) which runs on the same batteries as our impact drivers; with that connected it takes about 10 minutes to completely empty the food fort. # Shower 2026 Starting in 2026, we have a new shower / sink system. [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/8UEbsZMGNhEwLMp3-044c6341-4c9c-445e-80e1-dc75b6238213-1-105-c.jpeg) [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/bzBNa6UveZLqDZFi-ce26da84-48db-441e-a6f4-90aae4471473-1-105-c.jpeg) Complete instructions for assembly and disassembly are in the technical reference PDF. [Turtle Shower Tech Ref.pdf](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/attachments/60) # Sanitation ## 2026 In 2026 we are using United Site Services for porto-potties, grey water removal, and RV pumpouts for the build RV. **THREE PEOPLE** from the build team, Joel, Gary, and Viv, are listed on the USS contract as authorized representatives. One of them will have to go to the USS office on playa to get vouchers and tell them we're ready for delivery. United Site Services Email: [burningmanorders@unitedsiteservicesinc.com](mailto:burningmanorders@unitedsiteservicesinc.com) and [kristina.retzloff@unitedsiteservicesinc.com](mailto:kristina.retzloff@unitedsiteservicesinc.com) Contact: Kristina Retzloff Direct Line: 208-906-0399 Office: 800-864-5387 # 2025 Water Plan This is the 2025 water plan. ## Camp Layout [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/0iobn3GHeVcawoh6-screenshot-2025-06-24-at-12-28-53-pm.png)This year's layout places the Food Fort much closer to the Gayflower, and with its inlets and outlets facing the fire lane. That means pumping between those two locations is closer and Sierra Site Services ("SSS") can easily service everything if needed. ## Food Fort Read [more details on the Food Fort plumbing](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/books/burning-man-infrastructure/page/the-kitchen-fort-water-system "The Kitchen Fort Water System") #### Fresh Water For the **Food Fort** we expect to use 1000 gallons, same as last year. To make this easy, we'll rent a **500 gallon tank** from SSS that will be dedicated to the food fort. We will schedule a **single refill** of this tank on **Wed Aug 27**. - If the tank is used up before the refill arrives: - We'll warn the food team that they are using too much water - We'll provide some temporary water using a hose from the Gayflower to top off the SSS water tank - If the tank still has water in it on the day when the refill is scheduled: - We'll fill up the Food Fort tanks before refilling, so as to make sure we get all 500 gallons that we paid for Plumbing: - From the water tank by the fire lane - via it's pump - via a hose over to the food fort - to a three way splitter - One goes to the Food Fort Sink Inlet (we have short hoses, 1'-2', ideal for this) - One goes to the Food Fort Ice Inlet (we have short hoses, 1'-2', ideal for this) - One goes to a canteen filling station (via filter) which we set up in the dining room - ALL THREE outputs here have INDIVIDUAL water meters so we can track usage. #### RV We scheduled RV water refill for August 22 and 27. #### Grey Water We also expect to generate 1000 gallons of grey water from the Food Fort. We'll rent a **250 gallon tank** from SSS and put it right next to the Food Fort. We'll schedule **three pumps** of this tank (750 gallons) during the week, on **Mon**, **Wed**, and **Fri,** and we can also leave it full. During the week, grey water from the food fort will accumulate in its internal tank which holds 104 gallons. On a regular basis, we will use a portable pump to empty that into the SSS tank. Plumbing: - From the grey water tank under the food fort - via a Valterra 1-1/2” FPT x ¾” MGHT adapter - and a short hose - to the new Milwaukee rechargeable grey water pump - all of the above mess is placed in a cement-mixing bin to contain any mess - and then a long hose - over to the SSS grey water tanks. The pump needs to be manually activated to dump the tanks every day. The ice maker dumps a bunch of semi-clean water out the bottom, too. This does not go into any kind of tank. We have to put a large concrete mixing tub under there to catch this water and regularly pump it out to the SSS tank. - We can place a water bug in this mixing tub and pump it to the SSS tank. With a little creativity we should be able to use the same hose as we use for the grey water. The goal is to get the SSS tank as full as possible by the time they come to pump it out, so as to take advantage of all 250 gallons pumping that we paid for. ##### Daily Routine: 1. check available space in SSS tank 2. if room available, pump ice water into it 3. if room still available, pump grey water into it 4. is the SSS tank full and the food fort threatening to be full? Organize a pump operation all the way to the Gayflower **Black** tanks. ## Gayflower The Gayflower will come with over 2000 gallons of fresh water which should be enough for showers, toilets, drinking water (canteens), and as emergency backup for food. It can accommodate 1250 gallons of grey water and 1250 gallons of black water. Last year the grey water tanks were much fuller than the black water tanks. So if we ever have to pump excess grey water from the RV or food fort into the Gayflower, we should pump it into the black water tanks. We can set up a hose from the Gayflower to provide fresh water for drinking, which can go through a water filter.Our initial plan will be to use SSS water for canteen filling, because it's better located near the food fort.
## 2026 And Beyond 1. Ultimately I'd like to get the SSS usage down to zero and rely solely on the Gayflower. It's way cheaper that way. # Gayflower 2.0 Cost Estimates This is an overview of the costs and benefits of using a single trailer for shower, toilets, fresh, and grey water as opposed to using OSS services ([what's OSS, you ask?](https://burningman.org/event/participate/camps/so-you-want-to-camp-at-burning-man/deliveries/outside-services-program/)). Assumption: 2300 gallons fresh water, 2300 gallons waste water (mostly grey), two toilets, 2025 OSS pricing. Scenarios: **OSS + Portos** - using OSS providers with portopotty rental **OSS + Ecozoic** - using OSS with Ecozoic toilets **Gayflower** - using the Gayflower **Water Only** - using a water trailer for fresh and grey water; OSS for everything else #### **Annual Operating Costs**| **Item** | **OSS+Portos** | **OSS+Ecozoic** | **Gayflower** | **Water Only** | **Notes** |

| Not Needed | **Better Support For IBC Totes in Back** Weld in place a steel structure to support the weight of the water tanks in back, or add more wood | The wood that is there appears to be adequate |
| **5 URGENT** | **[Secondary Containment](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/books/burning-man-infrastructure/page/gayflower-leak-prevention) for Grey / Black Water Tanks** There is an interesting problem that if the grey or black water tanks leak or the hoses connecting them come apart, the contents go onto the playa. There is a black liner there of some sort but it will not contain anything. It is is starting to rot away and probably has a lot of holes and screws going through it right now | First attempt of adding more pond liner in back did not help. Currently we don't have any idea for what to do about this |
| **DONE** | **Level Indicators for Waste Water Tanks** Apparently there are already sensors connected to the grey and black water tanks to measure the level, but they are not hooked up to anything that can be used to read their output. | [COMPLETED spring 2025](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/books/burning-man-infrastructure/page/gayflower-spring-2025-plan "Gayflower: 2024 water system and 2025 potential improvements") Indicators are not reliable for black water presumably due to dirty sensors. |

## 2. Evaporative Cooler Supply Rerouting The water supply line for the evaporative cooler should be rerouted so it does not interfere with that IBC tote.
