I’d like to install a sink in an outbuilding. I’ve seen these 12v pumps online but have some plumbing questions https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30660829013 ... %3A2332490
These pumps have barbed connectors - obviously one end I can stick a hosepipe on and stick it in the water container. The kitchen tap end would need an adapter of some sort? Also kitchen taps have a hot and cold, so would I need a 2 into 1 into a silicone tube for the barbed bit?
Or is there a better solution

Why use a normal kitchen tap for cold water only feed. Just use a cold water tap!

Because I didn't know cold water kitchen taps exist
Thought it was a bathroom thing only. Well that solves 1 problem.

Where’s the water coming from?

[Mito Man]

Jerry can for water.

I put a sink in the space above our garage - which only had a cold water (mains) feed.

Installed one of these with a normal mixer tap - you’d have to have a really slow flow to get anything approaching hot water, but it provides a useable flow of warm.

Gonna avoid the heater as I don't want to pull 2.8kw off a 13 amp spur. Just want to be able to wash wine and beer glasses up in the cabin. It's a bit of a faff carrying everything up and down.

Love to know which chain it was; based on the genuine one being from Screwfix I assume it must have been Toolstation.

But ultimately as Stuart says they've just accepted back the fake without really noticing. I doubt the counter staff check each and every return they get to make sure it's not been swapped for a fake, or even know how to check.

Screwfix sell those dewalts for £50 ish

They are genuine though as I’m sad enough to bother going on The Dewalt website to enter the serial number and register for the extended warranty.
