A (very) affordable water pump for the Scepter can

I wrote some time ago about what I think is the highest-quality manual pump for the Scepter water can (here). As reliable as the Fynspray pump is, it does require modifying a spare cap to accept the unit.

Recently someone alerted me to a rechargeable electric pump on Amazon that costs less than $16. Called then Myvision Automatic Drinking water Pump, it’s designed to fit the common 2.5 to 5-gallon office-dispenser-type water bottles supplied by various franchises.

However, fortuitously, the inner flange also fits quite snugly inside the small cap opening on top of the Scepter’s main cap.

The pump recharges via USB; an LED around the top switch glows red until the unit is charged, and glows blue while on.

I found the flow to be easily the equivalent of the Dometic GO pump, although the Myvision lacks such features as the handy auto shut-off and the equally useful LED that illuminates the container. The ad—which is sprinkled with a bit of garbled Chingrish—says it’s guaranteed for two years. The battery does not appear to be replaceable. Nevertheless a tempting bargain if you like an electric dispenser. Find it here.
