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.

Yawn.  Just when I thought CT had covered everything multiple times, we have a thread about how to put water into a barrel undecided.

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

A cheap, very light, Aquaroll filling "tube" can be made from Innocent 1.35 litre, family size orange juice containers.

Chop off the bottom just proud of the bottom radius, this makes a neat funnel. Go a bit further and make a second one and push that into the first one for those longer reach applications, even add a third for the real challenges.

A short version serves with my van as the grey waste roll under's collecting funnel.

If you misplace it or give it away to an impressed fellow camper its no great loss.

How difficult can it be to fill an aquaroll .......connect hose to tap ,put hose in aquaroll ,turn on tap and fill ,wait till aquaroll is full and turn off tap ,remove hose and tap fitting and wheel away aquaroll 

chatting to fellow member who is waiting for you to finish is optional coolwink

Good sense of humour...A lot more hygienic than a rubber connection as less close on contact of tap..Rubber connections a no go nowadays.

 They can't be serious.....can they?

Love the way he witters on about the 'nice clean aquaroll' and then chucks his filler pipe on the muddy ground!
