I thought long and hard about building one similar to yours. I finally just bought a 5 gal sprayer and will paint it with black truck bed paint. Thinking about buying a tankless water heater and hook the sprayer to it for a bit warmer water anytime I chose. It also works for hot dish water if I want some. Yes many choices with DIY and I'm a fan.you can attach a hose to a water container as a secondary option, and gravity fill from the top valve, i have two 7 gallon water containers that i have put hose bibs on that i use when im not at my home or near a water faucet. to me the open screw cap thing was harder to seal to get water/air tight, there are some caps that have a rubber gasket but i couldnt find any at my local stores ( i didnt look to hard) but this design is simpler, less components to buy and i didnt have to worry about the screw cap leaking air as some others have posted. I spent less $$ and came away with what i thought looks more sleek and functional to the degree that i was looking for. Thats the beauty of DIY, you get to choose things based on what you feel best suits your needs and i learned from some others posts about what worked for them etc. Good luck if you decide to build one and PM me if you need any help at all. take care
