Will this hold a 5 gallon water jug?

yes, we bought the crock here on amazon and then we purchase our water from culligan. it holds it!

Yes, it holds a five gallon no prob.Just beware when I ordered this stand from this particular company it was missing one of the bottom pegs ( pads ) so I had to jimmy rig one of my own kind of a pain

Yes. We have used it with a 5 gallon, a 2.5 gallon, and a 2 gallon jug. The smaller jugs are easier to carry in our car.

No. I have the blue 5 gal Coleman jug, and this is too big for it. Coleman spigot is 2 inch diameter, this one is nearly 3 inch diameter.

Never seen a 4 gallon jug. Given they will take up to 5 I would think you should be okay.

If the glass 5 gallon jar is built the same as plastic then yes...I guess you would need to check the diameter of the opening. Sorry I could not help more.

No it wouldn't just big enough for water bottles. you could put them in opposite way may hold 5 or 6 that way.

I used mine for a brewing vessel for homemade Kombucha so I have never used a water bottle on it. Just my opinion by looking at the size it seems like a 5 gallon jug would be fine on it .

Absolutely! The scoby will quickly fill up all the surface area of the liquid. If the 5 gallon jug has a small mouth, just don't fill with sugary tea beyond the larger diameter of the bottle into the neck. You'll need the bigger surface area to ferment that much liquid in a reasonable amount of time.

It might but I would be a bit cautious. This was made for the 5 gal plastic bottles, which it supports just fine. There is some 'wiggle' room however, I don't know if 3 5 gal glass bottle would be supported by the bottom rack. I would, personally, contact the manufacturer and ask them the weight load capacity before ordering. Hope this helps.

I am not sure - it would depend on the dimensions of the 5 gallon. My guess would be NO

This item is well made but did not meet my expectations and therefore has been returned. As it is no longer in my possession I cannot be certain in my reply to your question. Previous customers mention this jar "snaps into the base". I do not recall this at all? It is possible a larger jug may fit in this base but I don't recommend this. The waterer would be out of proportion and may tip over. I, therefore, agree it is not possible to use a larger jug in this base! BTW, the jug it comes with is a generous, practical and sufficient size.

Yes. I have a five gallon metal water container on it now. It does need to be a metal one.

I have been using mine with 5 gallon jugs for over 5 years and it has worked well.

A 5 gallons water jug (the kind that you place upside down into a water dispenser) would fit. You wouldn't be able to close the floating coolers lid though. I don't know off hand how wide a typical 5 gallon jug is. I don't have mine inflated right now, but the inside diameter is a foot, and maybe more.

Yes ... we use a 3 gallon bottle, but the same container fits both 3 & 5 gallon

I do think so. I only use Poland Spring but it looks like any 5 gal. water bottles can fit.

5 gallon plastic jug works fine. I would keep it on the counter and throw the stand away if I had young children

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
