Hi all...........I was wondering if anyone has come up with a successful method of linking up 2 aqua rolls to gain double the water (through the one submersible pump) so as to lengthen the time between fill ups?

I wondered if there was some method whereby a sort of self syphoning sytem could be deployed to take water from one aqua to the other prior to it being pumped into the Van?? Any ideas would be very greatfully received. Take Care and very happy caravanning .....Regards......Pete

There is - occasionally they come up on eBay but I've never seen them in a shop. The eBay advert shows a self-siphon with 5 gallon water jerries.

I did find the link in CT1 and when I can dig it up again I'll post it here.

Wouldn't it be just as easy to have 2 Aquarolls and just lift the pump from one to the other when the first one is getting empty - just like we do with 2 gas bottles?

[Mick (but it's already taken)]

We have two Aquarolls, well Watermasters anyway, and just move the pump when one runs out. You can then fill the empty one in slow time, rather than have both run out at the same time which is what will happen if you link them together.

Joining them doesn't save you any trips to the water tap, unless you plan on filling them both at the same time, which would be quite entertaining I would imagine.

In fact emptying them one at a time probably saves trips, as you can fill the empty one on a trip to the toilet block or wardens office.

Hi RunAwayHorse,
We have used this method from time to time,very useful for takeing a shower on CL's etc. or where there is no toilet block, you dont run out of water at the vital moment, rinseing off. :rolleyes: :blink:
In the 2005 Towsure catalogue page 120, item 2. although if I recall I must have bought mine at the local dealer. i.e. before Towsure. :lol:
It makes an ideal self syphon but you do have to prime it first. Hope this helps. B)

I always have two aquarolls connected when on site. It halves the number of times having to re-fill aquarolls and ensures that you have plenty of water when you want it most.

The method is the same as 'ampshire 'ogs self syphon, but I use the Aquaroll Pump Connector Towsure Page 118 item 13 or 14 with a suitable length of blue food quality water pipe, widely available from caravan accessory shops with a Whale Non-Return Valve (essential) Towsure Page 121 item 34 in the end that goes into the Pump Connector. These are then fitted into the second aquaroll with the open end of the blue water pipe and the caravan 12v pump going into the first aquaroll. You must start the syphon first by sucking on the pipe to start the water flow before placing in the aqaroll. Then when the water in the first aquaroll is used, the syphon automatically keeps the two levels the same.

I hope this is usefull to you. Best of luck. :) :)

Hi Barney

Unless I have missed something you still have to fill the same number of aqua rolls, you just do 2 at a time. (Or 2 trips if you cann't manage 2 at a time)

Hi Pete, thanks for reading my post.

It's not filling the aquarolls (that's a social event) but the trips I try to cut down on.

2 Aquarolls @ 2 at a time = less trips to the tap.

On a short weekend I usually don't need to re-fill.

Barney. :D

Many thanks to everyone for their contribution to my original query..............certainly gets the old grey matter thinking.

I will checkout what has been suggested through Towsure and through the other links provided. Once again sincerest thanks and safe and happy touring to one and all...................Peter

Heres an idea for you pete.

why dont you see if you can adapt the pipe you push onto the water tap to fill the aquarolls up into a split pipe to fill them both up as well.

I am sure that with some copper T pices and a few jubilee clips you could adapt the pipe so it has 2 outlets and if you feel even more adventurous you could put a valve on 1 pipe outlet to stop water coming out when you only have 1 aquaroll to fill up!

Just an idea and yes if I could afford another aquroll I too would have 2 together as when you first arrive on site it takes most of an aquaroll to fill the water system up.

Oh yeah and I am lazy too!
