Water bottle bendy pipe spout thingy.....

[Pollypenny]

I'm looking cap for a 10 or 12 litre water bottles which has a bendy pipe for pouring water into the water tank more easily. I've been using a funnel with a bendy pipe but it makes it a 2 man job, one to hold the funnel while the other pours. Do such things exist and if so where can I find them please?

 

[Emmit]

Re your funnel.
How about drilling a small hole at the top of the funnel, adjacent to the lip.
Insert a split ring through the hole and to the ring attach a small sucker.
Stick sucker to side of entry point of water and pour away.
Cross my palm with silver and I might be minded to post a photo.

 

[Nirvanauk]

How about a watering can with 12 inches of clear hose on the end. Works for me.

 

[Landy Andy]

PaulandChrissy do a funnel that fits into your fill point.

Love this idea and the ring could be attached to the funnel handle to save drilling. On my old van I had a funnel which I velcroed the handle to the van so filling up from a bottle was only a one man job, but the new van needed a different funnel and the handle is too narrow to glue velco to

Too slow a pour and also need bottles with sealable caps, but thank you for trying to help

I am using this atm but requires one person to hold the funnel while the other pours. I used to be able to velcro the handle of the funnel I used for the previous van to the van but the new van needed a different sized funnel which has the very slim handle so not enough surface area to attach velcro

 

[royandsharont]

Yes they do exist, I have one with a tap on too to enable air into the bottle to make pouring easier. I cannot recall where I bought it now but it is German.

I've solved it as found a sucker with a ring already attached in an iPhone battery replacement kit. Works a treat so thank you for this idea

Thank you but I've now solved it and didn't need to spend a penny as just attached a sucker to my funnel which I found in the 'junk drawer'!

 

[PP Bear]

After years of struggling with a bendy funnel, I got a tip to use one of these. Fits perfectly and no need to play balance the funnel at all. Very cheap at around £3 squiddlies

That's really good and I would have been very tempted to buy but have resolved the issue now with a sucker and ring I found in my junk drawer If it fails I will opt for your suggestion though

Now that is ingenious! Love that and if my sucker resolution fails I will look into this, although not sure the water inlet hole is big enough to take drainpipe diameter?

I use one of these but you have to pour rather carefully to avoid spills. My Malibu filler is quite high so lifting a 10 litre plastic jerrycan and pouring slowly is challenging. Good for arm and stomach muscles though.

I miss my watering can, but I no longer have space for it in the van.

Thank you but I think I've cracked it using your idea but without the need for any drilling

Same for me, but mine is a 6 litre watering can and I do it twice to fill my 12 litre water container in my campervan.
Keeping it simple!

We carry 2 of these. Funnel comes with it. 11 litres I think.

If you've cracked it, you might need some repairs

I’ve used a 12 litre watering can with a long neck poured straight in slowly. Tops up main tank in a few visits each day when the hose won’t reach

I've done exactly that & it works perfectly

Clean out an empty adblue container, they come with a screw on pouring spout.

Don't think I'd want to drink the water or use if for washing, teeth etc though!

I'm not a fan of that as the pipe fits into the wider opening which means it's at risk of being contaminated by any grime etc that's in the surround, I much prefer it to go into the actual filling inlet fully which is why I used this set-up:

:

We also use two 'flat' type 5L water containers (the one on the right), they are easy to store, can safely carry water in transit and when walking to/from the water tap means I'm 'balance' with a 5L carrier in each hand rather than trying to carry a single 10L one plus of course much easier to lift up to pour.
