Filling your Aquaroll

For many years now I have ceased using the rubber/clear tubed filler hose. Instead I cut a suitably sized piece of white rigid PVC pipe (as that used for draining away waste water from your washing machine ). ..About an inch down from the top of one end of said pipe, drill a hole right through from one side to the other side...Thread a shoelace through both holes and tie the ends together...At the site water tap, hold onto the shoe lace, drop the filling pipe down into the Aquaroll and present the other end over the water tap then before turning the tap on, wrap the shoe lace over the top of the tap and hold it in place with your hand..Proceed to fill with water..Job done ...The pipe will fit over every site water tap you are likely to find...Every time you have used it, wipe the exterior of it with a clean and previously unused sterlized wipe.

No, it’s about how to do it for newbies, not about saving pennies.

In response to this fascinating thread - Mr VB tells me he has a selection of adapters to fit the end of his bit of hose pipe, but most CL taps are the same anyway. That’s an intriguing arrangement you have there 😉

Fairly rare on the continent to be able to position an aquaroll under the tap.

Lay it on its side ..... innocent

The Aquaroll, not the tap

Yes, that’s  what I used to do but then you have to wedge your foot under it to stop it rolling away which kind of defeats the object of a hands-free device. Anyway, I take enough junk away with me....but I admire the ingenuity.

I bought a rigid tube with an elasticated strap to simply hook it over the tap from the warden at Broadway for £3. Best purchase ever.
