12V on-demand pressure pumps are problematic. I've gone through a good dozen on my boat and even when they work they dont give a very even flow. Since you have room you should have a small (20gal-ish) pressure tank in-line after the pump. It'll make a HUGE difference. You can also just pressurize the tote to 15psi and use a pressure regulator from your compressor tank to keep it there until you need to refill the tote. The tote can stand up to 60psi but it distorts a lot by then and would require a lot of reinforcement. Also, by having the tote pressurized you can continue to deliver water in a power out situation and if need be pressurize it with a bicycle pump.
We have seen those bladder tanks! as newbie plumbers we are trying to figure out the cut in/out stuff. Have gone through 3 pumps so far...guessing wqshing dishes is too continuous, but weird it lets itself die with no duty cycle shutoff. Will have to look into 15psi on the tote. Would be nice.
Also forgot to mention it is worth the 70$ for the giant crimping tool if you are going to be doing any amount of plumbing. Make sure to also get a go/nogo gauge.
URL to buy all those parts?

Another cool video... Thanks. Do you buy your PEX stuff online? Do you have a vendor you'd recommend? Thanks again.
Big blue box store. They have most diameters, different colors in stock. I recommend buying it by the roll.
