Hello all;

I have a studio without water at the back of a carriage house. There
is a regular bathroom at the front I can use. (ie; no work room sink,
but a small bathroom sink plus a bathtub) This bathroom is only for
the studio workers and I think I am the only one using it. For the
time being I am using the toilet to throw out my dirty water. The
potter who has been doing this for ten years and there is no sewage
problem (yet)

I have been thinking about the sink trap, as I used to have it in
other studios and it just make me feel better about my water usage.
This morning I have finally come up with a simple design for under 10
dollars. This is to be placed inside the bathtub where nobody takes a
shower anymore.

Can you check that if there's any logistic problem with this? It's
really just a lidded bucket with a plastic tube glued to the side. I
will be scoping out the sediments and throw them out.

Your suggestions comments are most welcome
