Better than a Hose
The problem with filling a spray tank with water is that you have to stand there and hold the hose or push it far into the tank to keep it from snaking out. James Wright of Tyler, Texas, built a gadget to overcome that problem. He used ¾-inch PVC pipe pieces to make an elbow. Then he glued a threaded hose adapter to one end.

This device holds the hose near the top of the tank where it does not touch water or chemicals. Caution: Never leave a spray tank unattended while filling it with water and chemicals; spills or back flow could result.
