Reservoir change techniques

[Seriousbuds]

I'm so tired of hauling a full 5 gallon bucket out to my reservoir for rez changes! It's only 15 gallons but there's got to be a better way.

Anyone have a good method for filling their reservoir?

My site is about 40 feet from my bathroom, I was thinking about running a hose adapter off the bathtub however I bet the water pressure isn't good enough to run the water 40 feet.

20’ here, a soft pliable hose makes roll up ez.

Oh, if your shower head works (has pressure) 40’ is no problem providing is not going to the 5th floor.

Great idea man. I'm buying the adapters now! No more heavy lifting for me

Your water pressure is fine, a 50' hose won't make a difference.

Yea what's up with a long hose. It's not rocket science . Use the hose bib outside.........

I have my recirculating dwc setup with a manifold T. I just have to close one valve and open another and my system drains to where ever I put the other end of the hose. Works great.
