[pct-l] Super Secrets - Water

No, it doesn't. You get two choices in filling containers:

1. Absolutely spill proof so you don't lose water, no matter what. This
requires you to let the built up air out periodically while filling it, even
if it is a Platy.

2. Have an avenue for air to escape, like a hose just stuck in the open
mouth of a bottle. Will operate unattended (doesn't require purging air
periodically to completely fill it. For me, will also fall over causing me
to lose the water in it.

Jerry Goller's suggestion of using a Platy Filter Link might be an
interesting alternative.  Does it include an exit hole so that the air
inside a semi-rigid container can escape while it is being filled with
water?
Thanks,

Get a Platy Filter Link and you won't need the Nalgene. The filter output
hose fits on the Filter Link which fits on the top of the Calistoga
container.
