Here’s yet another use for the ever-popular, cheap pool noodle. If you need to fill a large bucket with water, it probably won’t fit underneath your sink’s faucet. Grab a pool noodle, set the bucket on the floor, slip the hole in the noodle over your faucet, then the other end into the bucket, now turn on the water. The noodle acts like a hose funneling the water right into the bucket!
