I included the pumping in the 5minutes,which is more when it's getting empty,the one I bought holds 8litres and I've been using between 2 and 3 litres per wash so I could have bought a smaller unit and filled it after each use.
I've been using the hosepipe for years to rinse off the bike after a mucky ride but I have to reel out about 7m of hose and back in again everytime so thought a sprayer could work.
I was right it does,and the plus is I can take with me ready filled when drive/ride withnthe MTB,wash the bike down after the ride and it can blow dry on the rear bike rack whilst driving home
Naturally I fitted the tap just where I needed , with a short length of pipe permanently attached just long enough for bike hosing duties, with an adapter on the end that connects either to a spray nozzle for cleaning the bike, or to a hose reel for the gardening nonsense
Also I don't drive/ride as have given up the car.
