    First I brought the syringe

    Second I brought a sport cap

    And now I have the coupling

    Option #3 has been the best so far

    That's what I thought about the amazing sources along the loop......except for the late night I got water out of a steam next to the beaver dam.....didn't realize it till next morning...i always filter! Love the taste of cold mountain water!

    The 'sport cap' has always worked fine for me.

    I'm using the mini in much the same way as the coupling. The mini doesn't have threads on the output side, just the nipple. I'vd drilled a soda bottle cap to fit over the nipple then glued it to the body of the mini. I use a soda bottle and squeeze it to back flush the mini.
