Priming the water system

[busbuddy]

I was away this weekend with my mates and an alcohol fuelled debate raged over how to prime the water system...
Obviously you just turn the pump on but what do you do with the first few minutes of splurting air and water out of every tap, is there a favoured technique ? and why has there not been a pointless gadget invented by jml (other cheap pointless invention companies are available) to deal with it

It’s really a non problem, so no fix needed. If you have some water in your tank, you don’t lose the pressure, you fill up and carry on. If you’ve drained it completely (over winter for example), it’s only a few seconds on each and you’re sorted…

Our previous van had an external shower quite close to the water filler. I used to pop the shower hose into the filler and leave to run for a couple of minutes. Then just open other taps for a few seconds, job done, with very little waste.

Bathroom tap opened slightly until gurgling stops.
