Keeping a bunch of Dampp-Chaser systems filled is a bit of a task. It's nice to use a large tank of some sort, but getting water into the tank from an available faucet can be a challenge. A key (or access) to the janitors closet can help, but it is often far away from the systems needing water. I just came up with a solution to this problem that fit my budget (didn't cost a red cent): an old bicycle innertube (the smaller, "English" style, as opposed to fat, "mountain bike"). One cut, and it turns into a hose that fits over a faucet quite nicely. Innertubes do have a white powder (probably talc) inside, so need to be flushed. But it saved me a few minutes this morning. Regards, Fred Sturm University of New Mexico PS Best to avoid modern innertubes filled with "Slime" (a green substance used to stop flats). I'm not sure you could flush that stuff out.
