Get an ATO. There are plenty that are super affordable and reliable. Plus you get better stability

The bottle neck of those jugs are really narrow, you prob need an external pump if your set on using one. Might want to look into a brute trash can and run some cheap pump. You can mix the salt in it and just pump it in after. What size tank are you doing the water chnages at?

Looks like you can connect a barbed fitting to the input, so you just connect a hose to both ends, and it should pump water from a soda bottle!

You might have to have the interior fully filled before turning it on though.

Also, you can just dump whatever water you bring home into a 5g bucket and use a submersible pump from there.
