This was a 2-day job that I managed to stretch into 2 weeks. I actually bought all the parts to do it in copper and changed my mind just in time. Then deciding on what type of fittings, learning about tools, waiting for some parts to come by UPS from an internet plumbing site, etc. The biggest design challenge was the external valve for keeping the plumbing dry if I wanted to get water to the toilet/black tank flush line--that probably took me three days of ruminating all the possibilities. And I bought lots of spare fittings and two 100-ft rolls of PEX (I've got another AS remodel on the horizon).
Bottom line, the real work was about 2 days and the cost (not including pumps, regulators, new faucet, etc--just the plumbing) was between $50 and $60.
One unexpected result is that the pump is very loud as it approaches the cut-off pressure. This is a surprise, since it has its own rubber isolators. It may have something to do with the way I mounted it on its own panel which may be acting like a drum. More investigation required...
