Bottled Water at the Lake

Pump for 5 gallon water bottle At the cabin, we need to haul our water.  When I was a kid, the water at Arlington Beach was disgusting and could ruin anything it touched: juice, coffee, brushing your teeth even.  It has improved drastically since a new water plant was added but we don’t have water into the cabin.  No big problem but I am really picky over the drinking water I like.  Saskatoon has really safe drinking water but I have never preferred the taste.  Even with a Brita water filter, I am still not fan of the taste.  and we have Culligan water at home and at work.  Having a water cooler at the cabin is a bit of overkill and so I was thrilled when I found one of these pumps at Wal-Mart today.  They are $6 and make it a lot easier to grab a Culligan container full of drinking water and bring it along with us.  We can use Arlington Beach water for cooking and cleaning and keep the Culligan for drinking.
