How to fill HLT

[FenoMeno]

No more dirty water hoses...Just bought a water filter (dupont) and looking for some slick ideas on how to tranfer that clean H20 to the HLT. Hard plum? silicone to drain tube barb? What you guys got?

I hooked up an outdoor outlet from my RO filter system, then I connect a faucet to it and let er rip.

Above the HLT or with a hose?

RV-grade garden hose.

I have my filter mounted on my brew stand and just run pvc tubing from the filter to my hlt. I use a cable tie and attach it to the handle area of my keggle so the tubing aims into the pot.

+1 on RV-grade garden hose. It's food grade, so why go complicated when simple will do the job. Save the complicated solutions for things which will really improve your process.

+2 on the RV hose... Although I did put some QD's on the faucet... And I do have a whole house filter anyways...

Have mine hard plumbed to above the HLT, used 3/4 PEX over from a filter, with a ball valve and some brass fittings for a downspout. My setup is three tiered and stationary, so all the plumbing is up in the ceiling and out of the way.

Thanks guys.
Well I have city water that has a chemical'ish smell/taste. I do have a marine/rv hose I was using. Yesterday I bought a Dupont filter system that is supposed to reduce Chlorine (among other things) and was going to mount it on my brew stand.

I was planning on putting a T Splitter on the inlet side of the filter with a small hose (unfiltered) for cleanup, and the filtered heading to the HLT. I was just going to buy another short RV hose for the output, but then thought maybe there was another idea to avoid having yet another hose hanging around.
