Are folks running battery powered water spigots on their water jugs? If so got any recommendations? I broke the plastic spigot on my Reliance 5-gal container and thought I'd upgrade. That plastic spigot always produced weird flowing water anyway.
Powered water spigot for water containers?

Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

I made my own.
Heres a build thread
Powered water can
The top pictures are what most people run for a pump, the bottom has a better pump and battery. You can also buy them.

Nice setup. In my case it is for my drinking water containers. I was thinking something more like this, although my containers are a different style than the 5-gal water bottles this fits on. I'm wondering if anybody has adapted this to fit on a Reliance 2.5 or 5 gal container?

Have one of these in the office, placed on top of those clear blue 5 gallon water jugs. Honestly I just carry my own water in Nalgenes, but this seems to work. I think water coursing through it recharges it, though it does surprise us and need to be connected to the charger from time to time.Nice setup. In my case it is for my drinking water containers.

I installed a marine push/pull spout onto a MWC can. No battery failure issues.

Yes, battery-powered water spigots are a good upgrade. Check out the Lifeline Battery-Powered Water Pump, Esky Battery-Operated Water Pump, or Camco 12V Water Pump. These options provide reliable flow and are compatible with 5-gallon water jugs.
