Bottle Washer

Post by Breezy » Fri Oct 23, 2009 1:31 pm

I fancy doing some bottles next and would like to get a bottle washing attachment to make rinsing somewhat easier. Trouble is they all seem to require taps with threaded ends and I am limited a normal domestic kitchen mixer tap (with a swively bit where both hot and cold water comes out).

I've seen an adapter on a US web site that screws into the end of the mixer unit and allows the washing unit to screw on as normal. Does anyone know where in the UK I can get one or have any other ideas to make rinsing less of a drag?

I have a Hozelock attachment that screws down onto my kitchen tap and allows the attachment of a standard Hozelock quick-connect fitting. Maybe one of those would be of use?

I have the 2274 version.

Most outside taps you can unscrew the hozelock fitting and you have a threaded tap. I use this for my IC and run the line into the kitchen through the window.
