I made several adapters by cutting off 12 ins of regular garden hoses with a hose clamp for the faucet end after I saw my friends water thief blow up in Glacier NP GC. I think it is the back pressure of the water filter that causes this to happen.
If you buy one of those water thief gizmos, also buy a hose clamp to keep the rubber bit on the brass bit because the slightest pressure blows them apart.
