The Problem


Using a Reliance Aqua-Tainer is a simple way to make a portable grey water tank in a campervan conversion, because they are cheap, readily available, and portable (useful to carry where it can be disposed). That’s what we did in our first Ford Transit campervan conversion, and it’s been working well for several years living full-time in our van.

The problem is that Aqua-Tainer covers have proprietary threads, so no existing fitting will fit in the spigot threaded hole

The Solution


We designed a fitting (adapter) that allows to install a garden hose quick-coupler into an Aqua-Tainer, here is our setup:

Grey-Water-Aqua-Tainer-Van-Idea

Aqua-Tainer

We use 4 gallon Aqua-Tainer, but 7 gallon works too.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT


Do It Yourself.

We couldn’t find an Aqua-Tainer adapter, so we made one.

This is an homemade product.

Each adapter is individually 3D printed, takes over 30 minutes to complete, and requires manual labor. This is not a mass-produced product. This is a crafted, hand-made product.

Low Volume.

We created this product for our own needs, to make a single unit. There is no way for us to ramp up the production and lower the price, unless we take it to injection molding manufacturing but that’s a whole another level we’re not considering at the moment.

  1. Adapter fits perfectly and arrived quick. Use far out ride for a reference constantly during my build

    • Thanks for the kind words, MUCH appreciated 🙂

  2. Haven’t tried yet.

    • Reviews are meant to help consumers make informed decisions and get feedback from people who tried the product in real-life. I’d encourage you to install the product, test it for a while, then provide honest and constructive feedback in order to make your review helpful to others 🙂

  3. Bonjour à vous deux. J’ai bien reçu le produit dans les temps prévus. Il serait intéressant cependant que la transaction puisse se faire en français… Merci

    • Bonjour,
      Nous avons tenté de faire la traduction du site web il y’a de ça quelques temps. On a alors réalisé que ça représente une charge de travaille immense, il faudrait soit:

      – Engager quelqu’un pour faire la traduction et maintenir le site web à jour durant les mise-à-jours (que nous faisons constamment).
      – Laisser tomber la conversion et création de contenu pour plusieurs mois afin de faire nous-même la traduction.

      Pas idéal dans les 2 cas, puisque que Isabelle et moi assumons à nous seul la charge de travaille à 100%… 🙁
      On a donc prit la décision de laisser le site en anglais et de mettre l’emphase sur la création de contenu et le partage de connaissance.

      Merci de votre compréhension,
      antoine

  4. Thanks guys! Worked perfecto!

    • Good to hear, thanks for the feedback! 🙂
