Just for all of your information, the SS60 is a narrow neck bottle, unlike the XXP 175, which has a wide neck for the reservoir. Could I not just use PVC and make 2 replacement parts (2 reservoirs)Crashdummy wrote:Those don't fit. You need a big mouth type of bottle (like the XP 60). Those are harder to find than the small mouth bottles. If you can't get one, either search eBay, or make a plug you can use to cover the empty hole with.

I sort of think buying another is out of the question, as you can't buy them in stores anymore and I cant find anything on ebay. Even if i could, I would not be old enough to bid, as I dont have a credit card or other payment method
I cant even find an XXP 175 tank on ebay. I guess I will just have to go with the PVC choice.

With the PVC choice, if you're creative and decent with working with PVC connections, you can really improve upon the original XXP175 design and build yourself a top-mounted refill cap instead of the original method of having to completely unscrew the PCs in order to refill.
Heck, you could even opt to merge the PCs into a single one such that both nozzles experience equal pressurization.

and yes, if I were making it have one PC, I would have to replace the threads on the soaker and I could make it look like a bazooka with 2 barrelsisoaker_com wrote:With the PVC choice, if you're creative and decent with working with PVC connections, you can really improve upon the original XXP175 design and build yourself a top-mounted refill cap instead of the original method of having to completely unscrew the PCs in order to refill.

As for experience with PVC connections, I have none, but I could easily just put a 90 degree elbow facing upwards that I just have to pop on and off.
