Thanks for the reminder. Forgot that I bought a sprayer last summer after Burning Man. Better at it to my supply list so I don't forget it. Great on a hot day to cool off with.

This works the same as a garden spray, but is large enough to supply my camps water for the week.

First, the 55 gallon barrel is fine.

The two bungs are both threaded so they can be fitted with pvc plumbing parts.


Image

At first I just hose clamped a piece of garden hose to the small nipple on the bottom of the bung to go to the bottom of the barrel.


Image

This worked, but the hose clamp rusted and the hose fell off.

Then I put a stick of 1/2" pvc on the nipple and put a couple of small screws through the pipe and into the nipple.

Image

This worked better, but the sloshing if the water when traveling would wiggle the pipe, and it fell off! :x

Soooooo, I carefully cut off the bottom of the bung so that just the threaded part was exposed.

Image

This allowed me to screw the plumbing down far enough to have enough thread exposed at the bottom of the bung to screw on the fittings to make the pipe completely secure.

Image

Image

Now with the shrader valve installed to give the barrel a shot of air for pressure, I have this.

Image

It has the hose bib fitting so that I can put my 25' hose on and have running water anywhere in camp! 8)
