    I live in an area where water is precious (shouldn't it be that
    everywhere ). 

    I do a lot of lapidary work and I drain the water from the machine
    into a 5 gal bucket. About five inches above the bottom I insert a
    drain with a hose that drains into another bucket which has an
    aquarium pump in it to pump the water back to the wheels. And as Judy
    does the pump is elevated. The residue from the grinding, sanding
    process remains in the first bucket since the drain is 5" above the
    bottom so the clean water goes into the second bucket where the pump
    is located. Hope this is understandable. 

    Another thing I've found helpful is that since my hands are being
    sprayed by water in the lapidary process I put an aquarium heater in
    yet another 5 gal bucket which is the original source of the water
    that goes to the wheels.
