Please tell me how to put a 3 gallon water bottle without spilling all over the unit(Honeywell tabletop water cooler dispenser) every single time.

I have not yet found a way not to spill. I now stand on a chair and wrap a towel around the top to catch the spilling water. It helps.

The product broke after a few days so I sent it back but I was thinking that there was a device on it that would pop the little plastic cork into the bottle. I really don't remember for sure.

There is a built in prong in the unit, Just remove the paper sticker, leaving the plastic cap, then put the bottle into the unit. You will hear a pop as the prong punctures the cap.

Hi Dara, There is a "spike" inside the top. You do not have to punch in the top of the water bottle before putting it on.

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily.Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.

Make sure the water is ambient temperature. Then, I usually prime the the water bottle before placing it in the cage. I hold it upright (as if it were mounted in the cage) and I use the fork tine to prime it, this give the water bottle the back pressure it needs. I do this repeatedly until no water drips appear. The trick is to get sufficient back pressure in the bottle. Do not use any grease as this may be toxic to your pet.

There is a small vented plug on the neck of the dispenser where you put the water bottle which I removed. Now the water no longer overflows when I replace the bottle.

My bottle also leaked when stored horizontally. So I keep it upright in storage now. Teflon tape might also work.

This is a "special" bottle you purchase from Zero Water. We have ours on top of a water cooler. Hope this helps

Twist the clear container on the bottom. It twists off and then u can pour the water out. Make sure to remove the plastic bottle from the top first. U don't want that water to spill on the floor after u twist the clear container off.

There is a place on one side where you can screw in a water bottle. I've never tried it so I can't say how well it works.

The normal water containers have a large plastic cap on them with a little paper seal that covers a plastic plug within the cap..do not remove the large container cap, only the paper seal over the plug. The water cooler has a pointed spindle...place the plug (that's under the removed paper seal)in the water jug so it lines with the cooler spindle and gently lower the jug down so the spindle pushes the plug into the water bottle....be careful not to get your fingers under the jug when the plug releases into the water bottle!

I put one hand on top of the bottle as I flip the lid with the other hand. Keeps the pressure in the bottle so you can release slowly and (hopefully) avoid a mess.

I use 3 gallon jugs on this crock and have had it for over 3years and have had no problems at all. Looking at your zero water system I think this would fit perfectly and be much sturdier than the glass one you've been using. It is much larger than the other crock but that justs gives you more room for filtered water storage, it shouldn't effect anything else. Hope that helps.

No you can't. The way the bottle holders are shaped a regular water bottle wouldn't fit in. The holders are kinda squared.

There is a valve that water drips out of and I recommend getting some vinyl tubing to go with the unit. I got some 1 in/3/4 in inside diameter tubing and it is too big. I just used gorilla tape to adhere it to the unit.

I didn't try on 3 gallons bcoz I have 5 gallons reuseable plastic bottles.They r not suitable for them.

I use an Ohio crock with a spigot near the bottom of the 3 or 4 gallon crock. I set it on top of another 3 gallon regular crock (set upside down). It works great and a half gallon canning jar as well as just about any size pitcher fits under the spigot. It works so much better than the large water machine I'm glad it broke. Just remember to clean the crock and entire bottle, etc. when you change the water filters. We are more than happy with it. No more bending over to get water to cook with.

Amy, I was just like you. Pick the water reservoir up and don't try to unscrew or pull off the black top. Turn the water container upside down and screw off the cap on the bottom. It's not a very big opening so I pour the distilled water in over the sink. I hope this helps.
