Fresh water tank

We are just a bit short on freshwater for our typical weekend trip.
I have a small wheeld 5 gal (or 8?) tank. Even that one is cumbersome to lift up, hold while slowly draining into the campers fresh water tank.

Thinking about a larger one, but with a PUMP.

Any suggestions/ideas how to incoroprate a pump into a wheeled tote like this to fill the camper's fresh water tank?

The tank in your link is for grey/black waste water, not really designed or intended for use as potable water supply..

See HERE

One of the disclaimers from the link..

"FOOD GRADE SAFETY: Plastic #2 (HDPE) means that the tank can be used to store fresh water for drinking. But we suggest not to contain direct drinking water. It’s more suitable to store fresh water for cleaning food and hands"

While it may be made of food grade plastic, the main concern is it really is designed for waste water and as such it has all kinds of possible ways to use it for waste. Someone may accidentally mistake your intentions or down the road it may get switched and used for waste without your knowledge..

But, if you insist on going down this road, you just need a self priming pump that could be connected to the tank.

Since it has many different sized openings you should be able to adapt one of those openings to a suitable connection to a pump..



A 12V pump like THIS which is suitable for Potable water could be easily rigged to your wheeled tote.

HERE is a slightly lower cost water pump that works from 12V..
