I hate using the little plastic pumps to fill my lower units ..I now have 3 to look after...Is there a cleaner easier way to fill ...something in a gallon container and using air pressure or a better non leaking pump....any home made solutions? ..thanks,Bob:D

Mine is the pump for the 5 gal pail. If leaking from the drive fitting, try using a small O ring on the adaptor .

Those inexpensive garden sprayers with some judicious adapting of fittings to the end of the trigger works great. 1,2,3,5 gallons.
