Atlantis: good advice about holding the hose. too often have i left the tape running, turn my back for a second to get distracted and forget, to then remember 10 minutes later and it's on the floor getting everything wet!

there are plastic hoses at Wal-Greens (I'm sure you can find them at Wal-Mart too) that connect to any faucet without any adapters needed. They have a rubber end that you sometimes have to work onto the faucet. They also sell one for bath tubs. It's meant to make a temporary sprayer from the faucet. You can take the spray head off and just use the hose. It's a quick and easy solution. But I'd advise holding the hose while it's filling because sometimes it can come off. They cost about $6 each (one for the faucet and one for the bath tub).

You can fill the water by using metal sink faucet adaptor from the hardware store.This will ease your work.

stuey, You dont even need the faucet adaptors. If you have a section of
1.5 vac hose cut off 4-5' and keep in your solution tank. Shove it up the
faucet head, hold it and fill er up.

Fill a jug then transfer the water to the machine. If you use a short hose, then you better stage right next to the water source. If you don't, then you'll have to wheel the porty over to it whenever you need a refill.

Big deal a porty is not much of an investment ? I guess if you can't figure out how to get water to a porty a tm is definately out of your range?

I agree with that! But at the same time my equipment is paid for! So i guess figuring out what is the best way to fill the porty is better than a $10,000 investment over my head wondering how i am going to make my next payment on my tm! hehe. So i think its a minor issue. |

There are only approx 2-3 most common sizes of adapters any household will require. Go to the hardware store and make a small investment (approx. $25.00-??) and purchase a variety of them. You'll be glad you did!
Problem Solved!
