What I have done that works well it take an empty bleach bottle and
drill a hole in the bottom and thread and glue with a gasket sealer a
barbed fitting which can be purchased at any major automotive parts
chain store. I hung the bottle from the ceiling of my garage and use
hemostats for a on/off petcock.
