Fast-Fill
Bottles
The use of plastic bottles as a means to have additional water when away from a water source is not a new concept. However, bottle-refilling can be a slow, somewhat messy process. However, with a minor adjustment, most plastic bottles can be easily converted into fast-fill bottles. Materials Directions If done properly, the bottle should be able to be filled to the top normally without leaking from the sealed hole. However, when filling a blaster, simply invert the bottle and remove the tape to allow water to flow freely. This has been tried using a standard 2L cola bottle, reducing bottle emptying time from 26 seconds down to about 5 seconds. If the water is flowing from the bottle too quickly, one can simply cover the hole with one's finger or the tape to slow down the rate of water flow. With multiple 2L bottles available, one can recharge a CPS3000 in less than 30 seconds! (I believe that beats the refill time even of most standard hoses.) Use it wisely... |
