I have a Tiny Home that I built and I have 2-250 solar panels, A 48 VOLT battery bank and a 4000 watt inverter. I didn't realize how much draw there would be from my inverter. The inverter uses a continuous 75 watts when there isn't a draw.  Does anyone know how I could have a system that would turn off when there isn't a draw.  I realize now that you can buy inverters that have a sleep mode but already spent too much money on this one. Could I create an relay system that could turn the inverter off when there isn't a demand?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello everyone.

I have built a tiny home and living off grid and need help designing a cheap water recycling system that wont require much maintenance.  I am looking at recycling my shower and sink water just for the purpose of showering and basic water needs. I will have potable water for drinking.  I don't get a lot of rain where I'm from but will incorporate it into the system.  I'm looking at setting up a system that doesn't break the bank.  Please check out my diagram and give me any feedback please.  I have been researching a little bit and found that ultra-violet light kills bacteria.  Do I need a light on each of my holding tanks, and if so should they be on all the time or could they be on a timer? Should the lights be a certain wattage or would any light work?  I was thinking of putting a chunk of charcoal in each tank as well. I was heard some floating plants will help, or possible a sand filter.  I may be completely out to lunch so I thought I would get some feedback on this design.

Thanks in advance.
