Good advice.. for the test, i used one of my kitchen double-sinks as the reservoir and a blender as my measuring container that i had my cohort keep at about the same level in the non-filled section sink.

Anyways, it took 7.5 seconds on average to fill 1 liter, and 13 seconds to fill 1 liter after going through the storm block. i had to use 12 inches instead of 6 inches for the input/out lines in order for everything to reach.

A small point, but something to consider
