Use Reverse Osmosis. You can recoup the water from your grey and black tanks.
That will save you the amount of water you must haul.
Cool idea, but not practical. This would require 2-3 prefilters ahead of the RO filters, which I dont think you would want to ever change without a gas mask and rubber gloves! And, the sheer number of prefilters required would be a $$$ shocker.
You also need contant line pressure to run the RO, meaning your trailer pump would be cycling all the time as water is filter and it filled the small stoarge expansion tank.
Worst of all, many solids would remain in the tanks and slowly harden at the bottom, much like a septic tank, if they are never drained/flushed.
Sorry for the long winded take down, but I wanted to squash this before someone really spends money to try it!
