Has anyone tried to use a 5-gallon glass water jug in this dispenser?

I have not but I can tell you I wouldn't buy this again. Stopped working not even 6 months after buying.

Yes, we have also used it with 5 oz glass bottles (specifically Dr Browns). It's a little trickier because the warmer is larger than they are, so you have to wedge them into the warmer a little higher than the larger bottles but it absolutely works just as well in our experience.

You can , but the water pressure very strong to fill up a cup but then it goes down after 1/2 a gallon so it will just gonna take longer to fill a 5 gallon container.

I am not sure, but I think it would work on a 3 Gallon jug, you would have to hold it while it is dispensing the water. The stem is meant for a 5 gallon bottle (Jug) You might be able to cut the stem shorter so it can fit properly.

My guess is that you could find a way to shorten the piece of plastic pipe that extends into the water, and thus make this pump work with a 3-gallon jug. The pipe that comes with this unit is designed for a 5-gallon jug ... and I wish you the best of luck in making this work for you! :) I am VERY happy with this pump!!

No the bottle has a large lid top with a filter included. The water jugs from water dispensers just wouldn't work

Our dispensers are designed to use 3-5 gallon standard plastic water bottles. As long as the bottles are at least 3 gallons, they should work. This size bottle can be found through HOD services or you can purchase Primo Exchange bottles direct from retailers such as Walmart and Lowes Home Improvement or from grocery stores such as Kroger, Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and many others.

I used this in a glass 5 gallon water bottle the kind you can refill in the grocery store. We have a lindyspring water filling store that also sells real mountain valley spring water in glass jugs with deposit on the jugs which was cheaper than actually buying glass carboys. Looks like inside diameter is 1 1/2 inches, outside slightly over 2".

I've not had an issue with leaking. As long as you put the pour spout on right, and have it tightened down just enough, there shouldn't be an issue. I've been using mine for months with the 5 gallon water jugs.

Joseph, we use only the 5-gallon bottles of water in this device. I wanted to use the smaller ones (the 5-gallon jugs are pretty heavy for someone my age), but my wife says because of the handle, they don't work in this device. I can't verify that from experience, but she is usually right (especially if you ask HER). :-)

I don't know about glass but 5 gal plasitic works fine and as long as the glass is the same height as the plastic ,I do not see why not. If any taller or wider, glass may not work.So far, I like this unit. Had a Primo and the plastic tubes broke and got messed up. Tubes are metal in the Viapur.

We use plastic 5 gallon jugs ,so I really couldnt say.It seems sturdy enough.

I don't know. I've never used a 5 gal glass bottle. The bottle needs two things. A 55 mm neck and a lip on the neck. If the lip isn't there I don't see how it would work.

This can only be used when you put the jug on the dispenser. If you were to put it on and put jug on its side it would leak out.

The dispenser includes a plastic ring that holds the water bottle. I have a 5 gallon bottle.

Yes, you can use any type of 3 gallon jug. I use a round 5 gallon jug, that's the biggest it will take. It has fit every jug I've come across, but I generally stick with Primo since there's no major difference in price.

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