I needed a portable water trailer for landscaping on our farm and added a boomless nozzle to spray the road down when it gets dusty. I had an old air compressor trailer around and mounted a sealer tank that someone gave me. I have to use a generator (220V) to power a submersible well pump in order to draw water out of our stream so I mounted it on the trailer with the tank. I used a Drummond shallow well pump to pressurize the water and a remote controlled valve to control the flow to the boomless nozzle (both 120v). I added a clear tube to keep an eye on the water level in the tank as I pull it with the tractor.

Just throwing this out there in case someone is looking for ideas.
