Scepter water can pump?

[targa88]

Pete,
You might want to check with "Corey" - I think he made something for his water.

I am not sure if my design can be adapted to the Scepter lids but it has made my life a little easier.

This should do what you are looking for if you replace the shower head with a tap.

Great write up, and links. I need to get busy and set something up like this for my M416.

It will also come in handy at the cabin, until I get the sauna/shower building built this fall.

Even then, I may use a set up like this for the shower, since the well only works when the genny is running, which is only as needed.:ylsmoke:

water can

Still can't find what I have on my trailer but I have this set up for the road.

I just made a shower set up tonight. I used the pressure relief valve hole and put a detachable air fitting though with a hose reaching to the bottom of he can. Then drilled a hole for an all thread shrader valve and tightened it down. Using my floor bike pump to pressurize for now. I need to find a better shower nozzle then I can test it some more. I will post a pic tomorrow maybe

Probably $80 including the Scepter can. This pic has 10psi in the can from a bike floor pump. By no means luxurious shower, but I think it will be great. Total mish-mash of plumbing parts and air fittings. There is an all thread shrader valve from a moto tube in the cap that can not be seen in the pics. Sorry for the blurry cell pics, too convenient:sombrero:

No pics

I use a but washer and gravity-----1/2" NPT will screw inside the existing water outlet

similar to this just a hose and a triggered small sprayhead.

I'd prefer a simple hand pump all in one unit, something similar to the 5gallon bottle..

Criscokid- I think thats a really trick setup, I might have to do that myself. Maybe you could post a writeup of it, with a link to the shower head if possible?

I might do a little write-up. My friend wants one after using it this past weekend. Until then, the head is a kitchen sink sprayer(was $5 at Loews) basically, I found the head, then found the hose, then I spent an hour in the fittings isles (both water and air)The hardest part to find was a piece to seal the head to the hose(it didn't come with anything) I found a piece that mates 2 hoses together, cut off one side and pressed it through the head threaded end all the way into the hose itself. Kind of hard to picture. Like I said, I will make another soon and detail it for you.

I used it for 1 shower and every meal for 2 days clean up, still had a gallon at least left. Defiantly shined for camp chores. 10 psi seams to be just fine.

4x4Mike has a nice solution

I've gotten both of mine from Brigade Quartermaster and the price is OK. What makes up for it is their customer service, fast shipping and flawless product. The Scepter cans are super tough and the $30 cans will last my lifetime.

Full they are a bit heavy so I made a spout for mine.

Cheap HF taps

also, if i'm reading this correctly, it's a pump built into the faucet fixture - i'm assuming self priming for a few feet at least - would be a little simpler than a 2 part pump & faucet perhaps:

The ghetto version of 4x4mike's
No tap needed
Purchase a brass hose bib with 1/2 npt threads
Just screw it into the opening on the cap (it will cut the threads)
Unscrew and wrap with thread tape and reinstall

LCI 5 gal jug $20
HD hose bib $5

You can lay it flat or on end
No shower but a cheap effective water source with little to go bad
