Water Thief

Yes, but you might also need a pipe clamp to help keep in on.

Probably. Whew.. you're gonna get a workout!

Ok thanks I wasn't sure but looked like it would. Ill let the wife work the pump lol. I will fill water containers in town when I can. I just have a 20 gal fresh water tank on the trailer, just 2 of us we can get a few days out of it. We do it all the time at the deer lease.

In addition to a hose clamp I use a fairly long strong ny-tie through the clamp and over the top of the faucet. The thief is slippery when wet (-:

We have used a water thief with a pump with one person (me) holding the water thief onto the spout while DW pumps the water into a jerry can. Not as elegant as a hose clamp, but it does the job fairly well, if the pump pressure is not too high.

The water thief will expand like a balloon if you have water filters that are restricting the flow. A cheap filter actually works better because it allows more water to flow through. I have evolved to several home made hoses with hose clamps that will fit most of the pressurized water sources at NF and NP CG's.

No filters just filling a jerry can and thought it would be easier than trying to get the water in the can with the thief and short hose. Thanks for the replies.

Yes...we've used it many times on hand-pumps at NFS sites. Often you'll have to sit and hold it on, but it works.
