anyone have a sink on their patio?

upgrading my patio and im doing a built in grill and drawer. on the other side I can either do straight countertops with more underneath storage or a sink in the middle.
im still undecided if I need it or not. the only problem is I don't have a direct water line behind it. ive had people tell me they can use the main sprinkler line which is above my head.
all I need is one temperature and it would just be for washing my hands. I just have no clue where the runoff would go once it goes down the drain.
any recommendations?

Hot and cold sink on the patio connected to the plumbing system. Very convenient.

I put a cold water only sink in with a catch basin so avoided tapping into main water line. Ran it off a local hose bib. It's used for washing hands and filling the dog bowl and washing stuff off and rinsing. Works good for what I need

I had to run a line for the sink drain from the outdoor kitchen and tap into the main sewer drain out for the house during the initial construction phase. All plumbing is underground covered by travertine decking.
The water line was tapped off the main line at the water meter.

The kitchen in that pic is probably closer to $150-200k.
The appliances alone are pushing $50k.
The unseen things such as running gas lines, electricity, water lines, drain lines, etc. adds up quickly.

I think you are talking to sabi. My sink added about a grand total with stone and access door...fixtures and hooking in the water

No way those appliances cost 50k. You have a lynx grill, double side burner,ice maker, sink, and a few storage doors & drawers. Its about 9-11k in equipment.

No chance ur kitchen sink is near is there?....I tapped into mine. Easy and works well. Built a 10 foot long countertop with storage under.

50k? They made of gold? That whole setup is 60k max

So back to my post. Has anyone ever heard of running a sink through the sprinkler line?
Posted on 10/1/14 at 9:35 pm to dallastiger55
Yeah, I apologize for the hijack.

you should be able to plumb a sink off any water line in your house...
as far as the drain goes, since it is not really sewage, you could do something as simple as dig a hole about the size of a 55 gallon drum and fill it with gravel...run the water into there...

Water is water. The water in your sprinkler system is the same as the water going to your kitchen sink. Doesn't really matter where you tie into the system.

The big question is, do you have two meters on your house? If you look at your water bill you will notice that there is a charge for sewer fee{I live in Dallas so I know it is true} The main benefit to having a separate sprinkler line is that you do not pay sewer which is almost the cost of the water. As far as running an outside sink off the sprinkler line, I do not see a problem other than no hot water and where will the run off go?
