This does not need to be compact. Plan is for frequent use. Just wondering what brands you all have had luck with! Also looking into ideas for a water pump that would attach to a 3-5 gallon jug. I'm looking for something that would be manual (foot or hand pump), not necessarily electric powered. Thanks! ------------- “A strong person and a waterfall always channel their own path.” -Unknown Replies: Posted By: JoesKayak Date Posted: 04 May 2017 at 3:03pm Bill at camstraps.com makes hand wash stations using the bulb style pumps for gas lines. You can pump them with your foot. One of his setups could be attached to a jug etc. http://camstraps.com/product.php?pid=155 Posted By: outdoorjunkie88 Date Posted: 04 May 2017 at 3:05pm I've had good luck in the past making my own pump by putting a shrader valve (bike tire valve) in the tank. Then using a bike pump or electric pump to pressurize it. Cut the bike valve leaving about an 1" diameter of rubber. Then use a rubber cement or super glue to attach it to the jug Solar showers are just bags that hold water. I got the cheapest one on amazon and haven't had any problems. ------------- Drew C.
