**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.
NEVER use this tank for anything other than potable water. ## Sewer Pumps We bought 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. **IN SHORT** we still don't have a great way to move grey water from the Kitchen Fort to either the Gayflower or a Sierra Grey Water Tank. It's just a bit of a manual messy process. This is something we will continue to work on for 2025. # 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" hose inlets: [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/6jr4nmjSv6cW3Rit-final-exterior-pics-joel-spolsky-june14-10.jpg) Each 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 are going to try to run the system without using its tanks. Here's how that should work: 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'll set this up: - The SSS 500 gallon tank will be set up right next to the food ford. It has a pump and a 15' hose. - 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) - to the two hose inlets (one for ice and one for fresh water) on the side of the food fort. ## Ice Maker 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. ## Grey Water 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'll connect a Valterra T01-0094VP or Valterra T01-0091VP (ordered) 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 are going to purchase 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 should take about 10 minutes to completely empty the food fort. # 2025 Water Plan This is the 2025 water plan. It is still preliminary. ## Camp Layout 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 and put it right next to the Food Fort inlets on the passenger side, front. There are two inlets there (both 3/4" garden hose), one for ice machine, and the other for sinks. If possible we'll set it up so the SSS tank directly pressurizes the kitchen. We will schedule a **single refill** of this tank midweek. - 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 - If the tank still has water in it on the day when the refill is scheduled: - We'll move it into the Food Fort tanks before refilling, so as to make sure we get all 500 gallons that we paid for #### 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, 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. 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. 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. If we ever get to the point where the SSS tank is full and the internal tank is full, we will have to pump water over to the Gayflower. This is not very easy. I think you could lower a water bug into the SSS tank (hopefully it fits through the big circle on top) and run a hose from there up to the nearest toilet inside the gayflower (hopefully it can pump that far). ## 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 will set up a hose from the Gayflower to provide fresh water for drinking, which can go through a water filter. ## 2026 And Beyond 1. Let's get some inline water meters to better judge how much water we're using 2. 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 Repair List and Wish List [](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-10/zTgBLbhzUmqVVWcp-img-1366.jpg) ## Introduction The Gayflower is an absolute marvel, but it is not particularly robust or fancy. So we always have a ton of improvements we'd like to make to get it better and better! This chart summarizes those plans.| **Priority** | **Project** | **Status** |
| **DONE** | **Fix Leaks Around Fresh Water Pump** The main green fresh water pump has a few little drips. There is a second leak on the thin brass fitting where water goes off to the swamp cooler. | [COMPLETED spring 2025](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/books/burning-man-infrastructure/page/gayflower-spring-2025-plan "Gayflower: 2024 water system and 2025 potential improvements") |
| **DONE** | **Replace IBC Totes With New** The four IBC totes in the back were used for fruit juice concentrate and cause the water to smell poorly. One of the three IBC totes in the front (the rearmost one) has a broken shutoff valve. | [COMPLETED spring 2025](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/books/burning-man-infrastructure/page/gayflower-spring-2025-plan "Gayflower: 2024 water system and 2025 potential improvements") |
| **DONE** | **Seal Waste Line at Second Urinal** We haven't been able to use the second urinal because the waste line leaks. | [COMPLETED spring 2025](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/books/burning-man-infrastructure/page/gayflower-spring-2025-plan "Gayflower: 2024 water system and 2025 potential improvements") |
| 3 Medium | **Leaks around sink bases** | unclear; maybe be result of bad faucets. Faucets are planned to be replaced at Burning Man 2025 |
| 5 Urgent | **Leak in Grey Water Connecting Hoses** The one we noticed was probably the rearmost, passenger-side grey water holding tank. | contract out to Adam Pence |
| 4 Important | **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 | contract out to Adam Pence |
| 4 Important | **[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 | contract out to Adam Pence |
| **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") |
| 5 Urgent | **Main faucets broken** cheap old faucets broke. Replace | contract out to Adam Pence or bring replacement parts to Burning Man |
| 5 Urgent | **Shower heads clogged and corroded beyond repair** | contract out to Adam Pence or bring replacement parts to Burning Man |
| 5 Urgent | **System for easy winterization** | (1) Bring a tool so we can blow compressed air up through hose bib. (2) Fixxer said he can add some air connections and more drains. Talk to Adam Pence about this too |
| 2 Low Pri | **Repair Hand Wash SInks** Both of these were damaged around the foot pump by freezing. | People barely used this IIRC Might be easy just to swap out the foot pumps, though. |
| 4 Important | **Light in back room** | Contract out to Adam Pence |
This design had one bug: the pump would not work without a check valve at the input. We added that in and everything worked great!

The pump requires 1" diameter input, so it draws from the nearest tote using 1" PEX-B (put together with sharkbite fittings). That tote, and the other six, are all interconnected using 3/4" hoses, which allow the water to seek a level between them.
## 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. Also, it might be responsible for the leak at the top of the pump. ## 3. Rework plumbing above the pump The main goal here is to make something that allows for quickly swapping out a failed pump, and eliminate the PVC+glue that is prone to leaks.
