How you get water to your pump is important to the functionality and longevity of your pump system.
These pick up tubes shown fit the Reliance Auqatainer 7 gallon, 4 Gallon or 7 Gallon Jumbotainer 2.0 water containers but we can create any length you might need.
The standard connection on top is a 3/8 push fitting.
The tubing that can be used for this is 3/8 OD x 1/4 ID Polyethylene or Polyurethane. We do not recommend the use of Vinyl tubing as it is not approved for drinking water use.
A check valve is built into the end of the tube to maintain water pressure as you change tanks which keeps you from having to re-prime the system every time you change a tank. A custom designed stainless steel strainer finishes off the bottle of the pick up tube and keeps larger particles from traveling into the tube.
The Caffewerks Pick Up Tube is designed to leave a few inches of space from the bottom on the container. This is so that you are less likely to pull air into the system if the water is run completely dry.
