Hey All,
Thought it was time to share progress on my upgrade to a Waterbox 5226 build.
The primary modifications were to plumb the sump to the basement and build a custom stand. The latter proved a great move as the stand came damaged with damaged doors and glue joints and Waterbox support just wasn’t interested in fixing in properly. No problem though as the Waterbox cabinet is in the basement serving as the base for the sump.
plumbing was complicated by the metric stuff from Waterbox but manageable.
For the stand. Over the holidays i had fun with the joinery as shown in the inset pictures. Went with LED lighting and glass shelves. The case is empty due to the basement sump but will soon be insulated, lit and will hold my single malt collection. The stand is 4x4 and 2x6 clad in maple and oak.
The bar is a solid piece of oak. We already had the wine barrel barstools
Tank has been running two months. The lights, dosers and volumes of invaluable advice are from the wise and generous Dong @ Acro Garden.
Sump is setup stock. I added a hood, because its in the basement, and it sits right next to my mixing station.
More to come as things evolve.
Cheers!
