Pour the water from the tap into the 6 Litre jar.

1) Fill 7-litre jar
2) Fill 5-litre jar from 7-litre jar
3) pour remaining 2 litres in 7-litre jar into 6-litre jar
4) empty 5-litre jar.

Repeat above twice more.

I don't think this is the best answer, but
Fill the 5 and tip into the 7.
Fill the 5 again. Tip 2 more into the 7, leaving 3 in the 5. Tip this into a separate container. Then repeat.
This takes ten movements, and I've an idea that it can be done in less that ten.
