I see a lot of creative ways that we come up with to protect our supply bottles and keep them from rolling around. One thing I notice is that many times the fill whip is left out in the open without a home. Here's a solution I came up with to solve this...
Cheap, Easy, Re-usable... MAGNETS!
These magnets cost about $8...
Find a fitting in your system and stick it on. Or, you could drill a shallow hole slightly larger than the diameter of the magnet and epoxy it somewhere on your bottle holding creation. The bigger the surface area, the better.
The Dowdy washers will stick to the magnet with sufficient force to keep the whip in place but leave the magnet behind when you pull it off.
Or, you could use a fitting such as this 90º elbow to stick to the magnet. It might take the magnet with it when you pull it off but, it's not going to make a bit of difference if it does.
Another option, if you have a long enough hose, is to simply wrap the hose around your bottle. I did that for a while. It's a good method but, it gets a little old wrapping and unwrapping if your reaching for it a lot.
What other ideas have you all come up with?
I hope someone finds this useful!
Cheers!
