Spigot Adapter for Bleach Wash

Jeff Thompson · Junior Member

I have been using for a lack of a better word "pump siphon" , bought a measuring container at Lowes that holds 64 oz.....I use the siphon to pull out of the 5 gallon jug and fill the measuring container to the desired amount.

The lid in the links appear to be exactly the same as on the GW and BW jugs. I was actually messing around with this today. Just cut out the center and screw in a spigot. I'm thinking of using a ball valve type, this way shut off will be faster than a twist knob Or ...... http://www.containerandpackaging.com/mobile/item.asp?Item=M111

Dave Beaty with Sable SoftWash came by my house the other day and had these on his 5 gallon buckets.

In that picture, are those faucets syphoned or are they gravity flow?

I wonder if I can modify the barrel syphon plan AC showed us in L.A. to add it to the BleachWash bottle.

Could we add one of the ball valves David mentioned to it?

I don't know. It seems like house pressure would work well enough, without putting a pump on the BW, but I know it is good to clean out your system at the end of the day.

Will I be able to run BW through the Twin Pump system?

Vic you can run bleach wash through any system really, you just add some to a 5 gallon bucket and your use fill hose to run it through. (fill hose being the one you use to fill the bleach in your tank)

Thank you, Zach. Sounds like a plan, I'll do that.
