Equipment I have built comes from other forum members that have posted there projects over the years. There are lots of ideas if one has the time to search through old posts
Wade first posted about vacuum pumps and how we could use them for racking, degassing etc

rhoffart posted a home made bottle filler "My $10 bottle filler " Unfortunaltely the original pictures are no longer available but there are some and a uTube link on page 3

Mine is a version of Rick's without the solid arm. This allows me to do any size bottle. The vacuum pump I got off ebay for $105 total but did have someone bring it up from the states.
Edit: I have also since added the whole house filtering unit. I think the first one I saw was posted by Wade E but not sure if he was the first one to come with that or not. Since then there has been allot posted on filtering which has taken the trial and error out of getting the correct housing and filters.
Thx everyone for sharing your ideas.
cheers
