Scepter water can pump?

[BingoSprinter]

Thread revival!

Any way to hook up a 12v pump from Scepter 5 gallon can to a simple single handle faucet?

I want to be able to swap 1 can for a back-up so I don't want to drill into the can itself. Ideally!

Thanks all.

Sure most RV type on demand 12v pumps can be rigged with a simple pickup tube.

Here is a list of parts and a how-to. But think first, ie: remove the lid before cutting and making a mess so the can stays clean, or better yet get a spare lid, and make sure you get food grade tubing. Otherwise it is pretty simple.

I have one of these and it works pretty slick. No modification needed to the can or pump. Plus its under $13 delivered. The photos on Amazon show it on a Carboy, but the ID of the pump fitting fits snug-enough slid on the threaded nipple of the Scepter. I probably would not drive with the pump attached, but with the water can stationary, it would be unlikely to fall off.

Man for 13 bucks hard to go wrong. How long does a charge last for?

several 5 gallon jugs. I've pumped 3. Wasn't out of charge, but just charged it anyways.

Did it fit right on the cap without any cutting/fitting?

I added a quarter turn faucet to my Scepter water can. Very simple.
