I just do commercial using a Merlin 720, and just connect up to any external tap, or buy a street tap and key for about £30 and use street hydrants. There will be one in the street you live in, just don't make a mess put waste hose down drain and not in gutter



Matty, I've heard about these street taps but know nothing of them.
Can you shed some light please?

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

You'll get a hefty fine if your caught without a licence.
You'll also find the kit on eBay also known as a Toby.

I don't need to do this but know people who do, ye you may be liable for a fine I don't know, you may even be able to get a license I just don't know.
What I do know is if you buy a stand pipe with tap on, and the key is just a square head on a pole this turns water on and off. You can have water. 

Worst case scenario, I would have no probs doing this at all, ok a little discretion but in alls honesty who is guna ring up the water board an say " I just seen a van using the hydrant" there's millions of them

A lad I know fills his van every night right outside his front door, he's been doing it for as long as I know - more than say five years
