Water Jug Kit
Two 5-gallon jugs. One carries the fresh water, one takes the grey. The weighted line and the tubing to reach the pump are in the box.
Every cart that runs water runs two tanks, not one. Fresh water goes in, grey water comes back out, and the two never share a jug. This kit is that pair, sized to match the 5-gallon fresh and 5-gallon grey configuration that comes standard on our plumbing packages.
The fresh jug carries a weighted drop-in line, so the pickup stays at the bottom of the jug as the water level falls. The connection tubing runs from that line to the Backbone pump kit. The second jug is the grey water tank and needs nothing but a place to sit.
In the box

Health code requirements vary by county, and tank sizes are one of the things counties look at. We accommodate custom tank sizes and configurations for builds with specific health code requirements. Say so early, during quoting, not after the build is cut.
Read the plumbing guide for sink options, pump options, and tank configurations, or the permitting process if your build has to be submitted for county approval.
Where it goes
The jug kit is an add-on to a cart, not a cart. Ordered alongside a build it is installed and travels with it, and freight on an assembled build is quoted by region: roughly $450–$650 on the West Coast, $550–$750 through the Midwest and Texas, $650–$900 on the East Coast. Ordered on its own it goes out by UPS or FedEx. We ship direct across the US. Canada is freight you book yourself, which customs makes the cleaner way to do it.
The DIY flat pack and the Pack Flat bundle both ship with the Backbone plumbing kit, which is what this jug kit connects to.
