Water barrel refilling

You should take it to Dragons Den 

The "plug" that fits into my caravan to bring in water from the Aquaroll has a clip moulded into it to hold the filter end of the pipe when refill is in progress. Does not everyones'?

I use 2 aqua rolls so i just take the filler hose out of the empty one and put it straight into the full one, then go and fill the empty one ready for next time. Simples.

Back in the days of water bottle filling, now thankfully long gone, we used to place the pipe inside a carrier bag and then rest it on the ground. 👍🏻

your probably using a whale pump.

That was one of the reasons I immediately changed the Truma pump on our Starclass to a Whale High-Flow.

We have a Truma pump and ours has a fold out hook that holds the filter end.  Our pump is a couple of years old now, have they stopped putting these on?

Think they must have because ours (on a 2018 van) had no means of keeping the pump off the ground whilst refilling. However, the main reason I changed it was because the Whale Highflow has a much greater output than the Truma and it instantly transformed the shower.

Managed to photograph the Truma Ultraflow showing (hopefully) the fold out hook for the pump. 

Why take the pump out? Just top up the water with a 5 or 10 litre jerry can or plastic bucket. The excercise will do you good. Either that or pay extra for a service pitch!
