Costco (WaterPORT) 8 gal / 30 L water tank -- pressurizable, rooftop-mountable -- $280

[4xdog]

Costco has a new product listed these days -- a WaterPORT plastic water tank capable of being pressurized through a Shraeder valve and mounted on a vehicle's rack. I'm not sure I'd be in a hurry to mount over 90 lb / 40 kg that high on any of my vehicles, but, hey, it might give some of y'all ideas.

It's 50" x 9" x 9" (127 cm x 23 cm x 23 cm).

Item number 1546692. $280 including shipping. The same product is $380 through the WaterPORT site.

That’s a GREAT price!
I love mine and have found it to be a terrific, well designed and fantastic addition to my rig.

Nice product but I'll keep using my garden sprayer.
Water jugs stowed lower for handling.

Somewhere around here is a great thread on modifying and pressurizing the caps of the 20L Sceptre water cans.

I think I'll stick to the cheap homemade PVC pipe version for that price. I want to say I had maybe twenty bucks in the last one I helped a friend build but I know the prices on everything in the big box stores have gone up.

I seem to recall someone posting a thread where they used a submersible pump* also and there have been a couple of people who built pump set-ups using one of the Shurflo (and similar) pumps.

*Example I found with a quick search: https://www.karibaproducts.co.za/im...Solutions - 5.5L ECO-Plus Shower Pump Kit.pdf

I use a cheap plastic pump sprayer from Home Depot or a Simple Shower (plug for a forum member who makes these).

Agreed. That thing is basically a bug sprayer anyway. Might as well not get ripped off.

This thread is a rollercoaster. Great price... cost too much. Use a bug sprayer or random pipes instead. And now it seems that the waterport has traumatized a user so bad that it's all they post about. I don't know what to believe.

Went up to $ 340

I’ll simply it for you. WaterPorts work and look great!
Also, since it is an actually designed, engineered and manufactured product vs. plumbing leftovers from Home Depot your rig won’t end up looking like the ECTO 1 mobile from Ghostbusters.

lol just to shove another idea into your head, the RinseKit would be a way better portable water system.
