Good evening everyone!  When we were at Knaresborough CC site last summer, one gentleman who I met when filling the aquaroll had a large funnel which he used to fill the container directly from the water pipe, thus eliminating the need for a filler pipe.  Does anyone else use this method and, if so, could you please let me know where we can buy one which is large enough for this purpose.

Thanking you.

Go to an agricultural engineers shop & you'll find plenty of funnels to choose from & be able to get a decent size bucket. I use both to fill our aquarols up. It saves taking the aquarol away from the caravan. My funnel is a bit big though, I have to lean it against the caravan when pouring the water in.

I leave the bucket full as a fire bucket & also find it handy to have it full if the OH & our girls decide to see how fast they can use the water in the shower without warning me.

For years before this I've used a length of plastic drain pipe with a piece of elastic across the top to hold the tap open & a notch cut in the bottom of it to allow water a free flow. Then you can stand the aquarol under the tap & let it fil itself. I prefer the bucket & funnel though.

I dont understand why you would want a big non flexible, takes up loads of room funnel when the flexi filler does the trick perfectly well?

Or am I missing out on something?!

I have had trouble getting the rubber end piece of the filler hose to go on some taps properly and stay there without it being blasted off , (and soaking me) if the water comes out too fast.

Hi Basilbrush ,
, I'm a bit confused by this post . Surely the point of having an aquaroll is not having to carry heavy water containers?

do you mean that you carry buckets of water all the way from the tap (which may be at the other end of the field ), back to the caravan to avoid moving the aquaroll away from the caravan , and then pour the bucket of water through a funnel ?
and you find that easier ?
I just don't get it ? I must be missing something here ?

Hello Debbie

I don't see why you'd be confused. The OP asked if anyone else used a funnel to fill the aquaroll & where he could get a funnel.

My reply simply advised the best place to find a range of funnels & decent sized buckets to choose from is a place where folk who use funnels would buy one.
