Fresh Water Tank fill ideas?

Years ago I needed a couple
replacement aquatainers caps and spigots. I bought a couple extras. The large cap and spigots have 3/4 inch pipe threads. I took one of the large replacement caps and added a plastic 3/4 inch male npt x 1/2 inch male hose barb fitting to it along with about 3 feet of clear tubing. This is more than enough tubing to push through the 1-1/2 tank fill tubing so that what ever is being added goes straight into the tank. I use this cap and tubing assembly as one of several methods for adding water to the fresh water tank using aquatainers?. I'll also use this method for adding bleach to the fresh water tank when sanitizing. I'll put a gallon of water in an aquatainer and add a cup of bleach, swish it around and use the cap and hose to pour it in. No funnel needed and no worrying about overflowing the funnel when pouring.

As far as using a garden hose to fill. I use my own made up fill hose that attaches to the end of a white garden hose. It is made up of a female garden hose x male garden hose ball valve, plastic female garden hose x 1/2 inch male hose barb fitting, 6 inches of clear tubing, 1/2 inch 90 degree male x male hose barbed elbow and 2 more feet of clear tubing. I shove the 2 foot section of hose through the fill hose until the elbow stops it. Then I can leave it hanging while the tank fills without the tubing kinking.
