What is the best way to fill a tank up . I have just got a 250l tank, filling it up using a jug as I do with my 65l seems hard work.

I use one of these connected to a shower hose via an adapter.

Lots of easy ways 
Easiest is to hook up to an outlet with the most flow.In the States that would be our garden hose which is not typically on a regulator. I made a T out of PVC and put 22 degree fittings on the ends of the top of the T along with a few fittings and a ball valve ( plastic ones are problematic) The hose attached to the main stem of the T. It hooks onto the tank (T upside down) - open the valve and let it rip...after treating for chlorine etc. I can do 50 % water changes or move 200 gallons out and replace with new water in 45 min......no spills

I use a bilge pump which I bought from a sailing shop. To stop the water gushing into the tank I use a watering can rose attachment.
