Scepter water can pump?

[mountainpete]

Hi,

Who here has added a pump spout to a Scepter water can? Trying to save some time before I start searching for a manual pump that can be made to fit.

You've seen this, right?

[mountainpete]

Yup - found that one via Google after posting. What I'm looking for, but waiting to see if anyone has other creative solutions.

I really like that idea.
I've got a second cap to do that mod with but have not been able to justify the $80 for the pump.

I've considered using a dc powered bilge pump like you can pick up for boats at Walmart.

$80 for the pump? Yikes!

I need to keep digging for the right (cheap) pump.

Yeah, that is what I said.

I'll see that same pump on ebay every now and then for a little cheaper but not much.

I was wondering if something like below would work:

Ahhh! Trae beat me to it .....

I have had one of these for about 10 years now. Works great. I just saw them online for >10 bux....

Instead of trying to lift the water mechanically, it injects air into the container to push the water out from the bottom.

And each time you pump it, it puts out about half a glass of water.

It's called a Dolphin Manual Drinking Water Pump.

mudbutt, are you using it on a scepter water can? or the standard 5 gallon water bottle?

I would really like to source the parts that they use with these.
