I have a 5 gallon Mountain Valley glass jug -- does anyone know if it will work with this? When I called the company, they said that it won't work with glass jugs but nobody could tell me why.

I've been buying polar 5 gallon plastic jugs from BJs, no experience with glass jugs. I looked at an image on google of the jug you are talking about; I don't see why not, although the neck opening looks shorter than the ones I'm getting of polar brand. The screw-down part seems to have alot of latitude. there is a tighten line you aren't suppose to screw down beyond or you can damage the pump. If you talked to Mountain valley as a water distributor, they may have said no; wanting you to use their cooler specifically. If terapump said it won't work, I'd take their word for it.

Will not work with glass beer bottle, the thread is too large. I did find some glass bottles in the pantry that would work, a glass bottle for vinegar. Kind of annoying since reusing plastic water bottles is not a good idea especially if they are outside or exposed to the sun due to material breakdown.

I use the standard 5 gallon plastic bottles which it holds easily and very stable. I'm pretty sure that it would hold the glass ones effectively.

It takes regular 5 gallon jugs; we get ours from Culligan. (So far this water cooler works great.)

It should work.. It's bigger than I expected so if your using it for 5qt jugs I would recommend a smaller one that's made for corrosive products..these seem like there more for fishtanks and stuff like that mine didn't fall apart yet and I use it for fuel but the description seems like it's made for water

I'm not sure. We only use the 5 gallon plastic but if the opening is the same diameter I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Yes I am using it on primo 5 gallon jugs. It will work on the 3 gal also. I have 2 now. One for work and one at home.

I don't have a 5 gal water bottle to test mine on. But, they do fit the gallon size glass jugs and standard wine bottles. So, maybe by comparing the size of the water jug opening to a gallon jug or a wine bottle opening, you can make an accurate guess.

That depends on the height of your jug. There is about an inch of space below our pump in our 5-gallon jug.

I don't know specificall but it has been my experience that all jars fit most blenders, the question is if your existing lid is round or clover? If clover then this should work, if round then you need a new lid or different jar.

I don't understand the relationship between the Soya Power machine and a glass jug. Could you explain better, please? I had the machine for 2 years, and I have never had a problem: I make the milk in the machine, then pour it into a different container with lid, and store in the fridge...

I don't know, I only use the 5 gallon. Perhaps call the supplier of the 3.5 gallon and ask whether they generally work on the same dispensers that use 5 gallon. Another issue you'll want to consider is how to de-scale the unit after it builds up with minerals. There are no specific instructions on how to do it and their "customer service" is useless. My hot dispenser is now down to a trickle, so I'm going to have to try to figure something out myself.

You cannot use a milk jug because the green tops are made specifically to fit the top of a water/soda bottle. I have used one liter bottles and that is what I prefer because I have to refill it less often. If you place the spike properly, you will be amazed at how your plants thrive. I have even added the fertilizer directly into the bottle as well. I highly recommend this product over others I have tried. Good luck!!!

I'm not sure if I understand the question. I use this 2.5 gallon jug for kombucha tea and it is a great size for me.

The clamp on the piece that connects the hose to the bottle probably won't attach properly, but you would still be able to use glass bottles. The clamp is made to attach to sealed plastic water bottles you buy at the grocery or water supply store. This allows you to carry bottles with the handle on the attachment. Since I refill plastic bottles, mine are not sealed and the clamp won't work on those either. I simply hand-carry the bottles and drop the clamp/hose attachment into the bottle, slide the bottle into the compartment and it works fine. Should be the same for 5-gal. glass bottles.

Yes it does, I have 4 five gallon jugs and just rotate, I don't think you will be disappointed, I love mine and it's pretty too.

It'll work if the opening in the neck is the same size as the plastic bottle. I think 5 gal. water jugs are pretty much the same size.
