Topping up fresh water.

[runnach]

This is what I do rather than numerous trips with a watering can, container holds 19ltr. I realise my method will not be suitable for everyone.

I saw 2 Aquarolls at the boot sale today both looked as new, £15 each 54 litre capacity so a lot of water, Great if you have storage room, I still prefer my 10 litre watering can with a 10 litre plastic container though I can still manage to carry both when full saves a lot of faffing about at the Bourne when several vans trying to get on it, same with the cassette I mainly carry that to the emptying point too, good exercise too beats the sweaty gym any day hee Hee

I take one of these IF I think we might struggle ...ex MOD water Jerry can 20l



Black potable plastic so don't go mouldy ...
And tough as old boots bleed valve to ease 'glugging'

Drinking water wise I just buy the Odd 4l spring water bottles and refill from taps till the handles fall off .

My van tank holds 130 litres I leave home with about 80 litres in it and then daily top it up with 2 trips to the tap with my can and watering can and that is 40 litres added to the deminishing amount in the tank it slowly fills over time depending on usage, some days it needs no water added just done 80 day Portugal trip and it all was fine,

It's easier than keep having to drive the van over to the tap

Which is why I use the fresh water drink container, carry to and from the dispenser, then glug glug glug into FW tank. I’ll keep the barrel in mind, must be handy when your knocking on a bit
