Faucet adapters

[Bryce C]

I bought a 20 piece faucet adapter kit and have been stuck at homes where I cannot adapt to any of their faucets several times so far this year. It is really frustrating. Have any of you found an ultimate faucet adapter set to hook up a garden hose to that works in every situation?

Fresh water Tank in the van is cheap and easy to do, highly recommend it. Drum barrel, barrel strap tie down, RV pump, and a couple hoses.

I have a carabiner full of adaptors that ive collected over the years haven't found a sink i couldn't connect to yet. However, some of the new fancy ass designer plastic over metal ones at times are nearly impossible to get a tight seal on. Ill take pictures tomorrowof the adapters i have.
Meanwhile howauout hooking up to the washimg machine hose bib in a pinch?? They're generally in a place that's easy to get to. You just have to make sure that when you reconnect the washer it doesn't leak

I have a waterpond installed on my van but im not a fan nor do i just drive around with 1,000 lbs of water on board in the off chance i can't hook up to a customer's hose bib and i need it. I generally only carry enough water to do a couple of rooms, small jobs where it's easier and or faster to use it

Ooo, you got the expensive water pond. Nice! 1000 pounds is a lot of weight for those big tanks. I definitely wouldn't keep them full and drive around all day with them either. 1/3 full should get you by just about any needed job depending on the truckmount hot water regulating system.

I can't say for all machines but the smaller prochems and ss370 machines sip water while the bigger ones go through it dumping a bunch to the water tank keep the heat down.

The way i clean blows thru water i can only do between 800-1000sqft on a full tank i first clean n dry with a 5 jet rx20 then i rinse n dry with a 16" 4 jet drag wand

Never looked into rx20 consumption, guessing it would be significantly higher.

Never looked into rx20 consumption, guessing it would be significantly higher.

My rx20 uses about 1.75 gpm and my drag wand uses about 1.5gpm

I just checked on google my rotary cleans 450psi@ 1.75gpm and drag wand rinses 300psi@ 1.25gpm

I'd just stick with hose bibs, if I were you.. I grew up using the faucet adapters for porty work, and while it does work, some faucets will leak internally and if your not paying attention you'll flood the place.. Ask me how I know....... It mostly happens with the cheap bathroom faucets.. I've hooked up to the shower head pipe in a pinch, but I use the Rinseroo slipped over the faucet to a porty..

So for TM, you can but I'd pay attention.. Carry 300' of 3/8" air hose and use adaptors to fit the hose bib.. Or just carry enough water hose.. You can always ask if a hose bib/water is available to hook up to over the phone..

these are used for the standard kitchen sinks. some of these fancy sinks today don't allow any adaptors but the ones I posted will work 90% of the time

Some commercial buildings and apartment complex's in my area don't have hose bibs or did till they removed them because of water theft ( ya in the country they do steal water)
