4qt enema jug

Good evening everybody!

I'm looking to add an enema bucket/jug to my collection and I'm surprised it's this difficult to find what I want without paying through the nose!

I have 4qt silicone and rubber bags, and I'd like to get a 4qt bucket as well, but it seems the only place that sells enema buckets in that size is Optimal Health Network and their 4qt can is over $150.

I've been trawling through eBay and the likes trying to find alternatives, but nothing is 4qt, which I'd like to stick to if possible.

Anyone have a suggestion? I'd prefer stainless steel over plastic if possible, but I'm not opposed to plastic if thats the only way to keep the cost low.

Thanks!!!

Restaurant supply stores generally have 1-gallon through 5 gallon containers. Most are plastic, but some helpfully have measurement lines on them. I'd think grabbing one of those and a threaded to barb brass plumbing fitting would probably be the cheapest way to go.

I got myself one of these and have been delighted with it:

Don’t be deterred by the “3.5qt” notation as the bucket will take a full 4 quarts.

I bought my 4-qt translucent water pitcher at the grocery store for about $5 over 10 years ago. Yes, it's marked on the side with graduation marks for the fluid level, which is nice for watching the level go down as you're giving yourself an enema, and knowing exactly how much you've taken at any given time. Much better than a SS bucket that you can't see into, unless you get up and look over the top. As mentioned in a reply above, you can install a brass fitting on the side near the bottom to attach your enema hose to. I took another route with mine however. I cut the hose nipple off of an extra enema nozzle I had (as close to the enema nozzle as was possible), and glued it in place with a glue made for polypropylene material. Considering that's what the pitcher is made from, as is the enema nozzle (I believe), it's held just fine. I've been using it for over 10 years now, and haven't had a failure of the glue joint yet. I use my homemade enema can far more than I do the red bag because it holds more liquid, and I just enjoy watching the level drop as I give myself an enema. There's a certain eroticism to that as well. My total investment was about $10 for both the pitcher and the glue (available at Lowe's or Home Depot). Latex hose is also available at the same locations in 10' bundles. Roughly $20. I just use the white hose from an extra bag I had. Cost = $0.

Bongoboy,

I have also used the silicone pitchers that Moliere mentioned, only I got mine at the farm supply store. (they are located in the feed section along with scoops). I have one that holds 3 liters and one that holds 5. I drilled a hole close to bottom edge and added a hose nipple.

I have also done the same with the stainless steel inserts that go in a steam table. Those hold 6 qts. and have been drilled and barbed the same way. MUCH cheaper way to go!

Much better than a SS bucket that you can't see into, unless you get up and look over the top.

If I were doing a metal or opaque enema bucket I'd just put a second barb fitting in and have a clear tube that goes straight up. As the water level falls in the enema can the water will fall in the tube, and you can see it.

I can use any open top jug I find because my go-to Hose has a permanent “U” bend about 10” from the suction end and I siphon the flow. To get flow into 5ft hose I pinch it shut just after the bend, put it over the edge of a plumb full jug and let go the pinch. If the bend is just a little above the waterline momentum will carry the ascending water in the pick up tube over the bend and the hose fills. My go-to jug is a one gallon Steralite pitcher innocently sitting on the bathroom counter with a spray bottle of spic-n-span and a roll of paper towels in it. It’sthere Of course just as a handy tidy up kit. ??

Hose and wooden clothes pin with rubber band to give it a bit more pinch travels with me. The jug does not but what the heck, 1 gal distilled water jugs are sold everywhere. While camping a 1mliter water bottle will sometimes accompany me to the public restroom for a “quickie-poo”.

The enema can is intriguing and if you want one then all the suggestions below are quite good- from buying one for $37 to making one yourself. But since you have 1 gallon bags I am not sure what the enema can will do differently from the bags- it's just a different type of container.

Having an enema can would be cool and if you are an enema enthusiast like most of us it might be worth getting.

Appreciate all the replies everyone!

That's it my friend, just for adding to the collection 😃 Although, the ease and practicality of cleaning the wide open top of the jug is appealing compared to washing, rinsing, and drying my bags when I'm in a rush!

For those that suggested using a 4qt container, how would I adapt the fitting so it doesn't leak? I'm not a handy person, my skills lie in the computer, not with hand or power tools 😃 I have a 4qt plastic jug for mixing my solutions, I could use that if I could attach the barb fitting somehow.

Thanks!

Two ways. If it's a resonably thick plastic container you can get a pipe fitting thread (which is slightly conical) and drill the hole tight. As you screw it in it will seal. If there's a flat area you can also drill straight through and use sealing washers and nuts. Make sure they're stainless.

Silicone sealant is also an option, but use a small amount in strategic places rather than huge globs. Run a fillet on both sides and smooth with a finger (wear gloves to keep things nice).

You can also use teflon tape around the threads to stop leaks.

Several years ago, I posted the article, "Construct a Jugbag" describing in detail how to construct a four quart enema bag from a discarded gallon jug. The tubing and clamps are the only financial outlay.

It is posted on this board under the link: ".zity.biz/index.phpmx=forum;ox=display;msg=543027;mark=CONSTRUCT%2CJUGBAG"

It is the syringe that I use and is pictured in my avitar.

Seeking health.com is selling a fantastic silicone rubber 4 quart bag for about $11.00, i ordered one and cannot believe how well it is made, got to be the deal of the year!!

If you want a bucket...go to Lowes or Home Depot. They have 5 gallon buckets for about 5 bucks. You can measure up the side from there. You will have to customize it if you want to take the hose directly from the bucket....I have seen that. But it works awesome
