Cleaning is going to be dependent on what you use the sink for. If you only use it with raw clay and nothing else is going down the drain, then there is an opportunity for reclaiming that clay. Otherwise, you'll need to find a safe way of disposing of the water for your area's regulations and what you are putting into the sink. As far as cleaning and maintenance, follow the instructions for whichever filter system you purchase. I would recommend checking the buckets weekly for sediment buildup amount and if there is any bacteria or mold growth present and clean/empty accordingly. Depending on how much you use the sink, water quality, studio environment, etc., this may need to be more or less frequent.

just went through this conversation with the makers of THE CINK and it came down to a very nice looking highly over priced tool. Glad you put this vid out and it will be the route I am going as well.

Since this is a self contained system, why do you need the filter? Won’t the particles settle to the bottom of the buckets so you’ll just be pumping the clean(ish) water from the top?

The "clean-ish" part is the problem. Depending on use, not all particles will settle or have enough time to. You're also pumping up water from the bottom of the second bucket, where some particles are likely to settle while others will remain in suspension.

So awesome! The pump is very loud. Do you think there are quieter pumps, or is that a matter of insulating around it?

Yeah, it's VERY loud. Off the top of my head, I could see building a box around it and lining it with some rockwool. There are definitely quieter pumps though. I chose this because it was the best value while fitting my parameters. More expensive pumps will sometimes be built to be quieter, depending on their intended use.

After you set this up and used it - how did you find the filter system held up to the sediment from the clay..? Did it work well, or would you have changed the filter or model entirely? Or did it work well? Thanks..

Hello friend, hope you're doing well! I was wondering, like Sean below, if you have any updates on the longevity of this build, as well as any tinkering you've done to the system to better the build as time has passed. Other than that, could you explain why we couldn't use a submerged pump in the 'clean' bucket, rather than a mounted transfer? I'm just getting started on my handy-journey, so any insight is much appreciated!

No problem. The two changes I would make building this again would definitely be spending more money on a quieter pump and integrating a control switch for turning it on and off at the sink instead of the outlet. As far as the submersible pump, I would think price and potential for damage are the factors here. Sub pumps tend to be pricier, and the ability to throw a filter on the end of a hose can prevent the pump from clogging or getting damaged. Those are just my guesses though, and the way I decided to approach it is most likely just one of many that will work.

@@RhinodilloDesigns Good build! For the pump, you can look into an RV fresh water pump. They run on 12v power which you can just wire to a 12v AC adapter and plug in. These are designed to keep pressure in the line and only activate when needed. So turning the faucet on and off will activate the pump and it will always be pressured ready to use.

Thanks for this video. I am planning on making one of these and resources are slim. One question; would it be beneficial to have the filter before the pump instead of after? So as to be sure that the pump does not get clogged with sediment and pottery water grossness?

I think the load on the pump may be altered if you put it before. Not only would you be pulling through the hose, but pulling through the filter as well. The filter is designed to have water pressure on the intake, not vacuum on the exit. But there should be no concerns, as the pump intake line that comes with it has a filter on the end to keep particles too large out.

What filter did you use for the end of the hose in the bucket

Assuming you mean the hose going to the pump, it's the filter that comes with the pump. It's sized to filter out anything larger than the pump can handle.
