Whole House Water Flter + Drill Pump
I'm definitely going to get the Rainfresh filter I saw today at Canadian Tire (about $27 - filters 1 and 5 micron about $6) and while I was looking at it and finding fittings and sourcing a pump I found the "Drill Pump". 2 models either $15 or $25 - a simple water pump operated by any electric screwdriver/drill of which I have one.
...
Also there was a "Red Bull" water pump - non-immersible simple and small, intake/outake nozzles for $114 or I was looking at air compressors for a vacuum pump. But I couldn't yet figure out how to adapt the air compressors - the intake is diffuse not in a nozzle.
..
I'm sure the drill pump will work well - that'll make this an extremely cheap wine filtering system.
For $15 it's worth the experiment and if that doesn't work I'll still have and use the Rainfresh with something else.
..
I only buy in stores what I can see and touch, and I don't use plastic - just money and I'm 120 clicks for the capital so I gotta make do with what I find here but I think I've found something useful.
