I'm a long time lurker here (I've been ghosting this forum for most of a decade) but this is my first time posting.
What I am seeking is the opinion of people who know these things better than I do. I have enough experience plumbing to competently install a bathroom but this project is an ambitious reach that has involved much research and the words of someone who actually knows these things are of high value to one such as myself who is just figuring such things out on my own. I'm designing a water filter for myself. My life plan involves building myself a homestead (at least) and a small community (at best). In the interests of staying on-topic let us suffice it to say that I know the capacity of this system is large and this is a deliberate choice to serve the wants of an ambitious future. The advice I come here seeking is not about 'scaling it down'.
With all that being said, here is my draft of the system:
...and my parts list (items in bold have already been acquired):

Connections:
- many of the connections between fittings/fixtures will be done with short (3"?) nipples
- a count of the needed nipples still has to be done
- longer distances will be covered be Uponor Pex-a with stainless expansion fittings
- the 1" stainless fittings were a special order, minimum quantity of 10 from Wolseley and are sitting waiting, as is a 100' coil of 1" tubing
