Tiny Home Water Systems: Supply, Storage and Filtration
Options for supplying clean water to a tiny home, from hookups to tanks and filters.
Where water comes from
Options include a municipal hookup, a well, hauled water in tanks or rainwater harvesting. Rain catchment rules vary, so check local law.
Storage and pumping
Food-grade tanks and a 12V pump with an accumulator tank give steady pressure. Size storage by how many days you want between refills.
Filtration
A sediment filter followed by carbon handles many issues, but test your water to know what you are treating. Drinking water from untested sources needs appropriate treatment.
Winterizing
Freezing can split pipes and pumps. Insulate lines, add heat tape where appropriate and know how to drain the system.
