Can you use both 5 and 3 gallon bottles?

Yes.... You wont be able to go bigger than 5 gallons, but anything smaller will be ok. There is a pipe than fits into the bottle and the bottle stand upright, so as long as you have liquid in the bottle, you will be ok.

Yes. But the top will not completely seal on the 3 gallon bottles. This is the best water dispenser I ever owned. It is my forth.

I have only used 5 gallon..I would assume you could use a 3 gallon as long as the three gallon is tall enough so the tube that draws the water up into the unit can fit..the tube is as long as the height of the 5 gallon bottle and not adjustable. .hope this helps

I am not sure I have only used 5 gallon bottles because they are much cheaper than 3 gallon bottles, but the machine broke down in only 6 months of use. The red change bottle light will not stay off even after changing the bottle and pushing the door switch that turns off the red change bottle light. It does not let the pump go on when the red light is blinking. But once I push the door switch in all the way by hand the pump starts up again. The problem is the red light is not allowing the reservoir to get filled up all the way for the red light to go off again. But after taking the machine apart and putting it all back together again it's working properly again. So I must have reset the machine without knowing it. Anyway it's a nice machine when working properly for all three types of water cold, room temp and hot water for tea etc.

Hi Laura, The 3 gallon bottle will fit as long as the neck/spout fits the opening to the cooler. These coolers are meant for 5 gallon bottles, but if they are the same, it should be ok.

Any 5 gallon bottle will go on top. I have two different 5 gallon bottles and they both fit nicely. The reservoir has a probe so you can use "no splash caps" on your bottles as well. Even though it has a probe the unit can be used with our without "no splash" caps.

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

Yes. We have our water service deliver the 3 gallon bottles. They work perfectly!

There are times we have 3 gallon bottles in ours. I'm certain 2 gallon ones would work well too.

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.

We use 5's but assuming that the necks of bottles are the same it should be no problem.

I wouldn't hesitate; a full 5-gallon bottle is heavier than your 3-gallon glass bottle. This stand is really strong anyway.

Yes. I actually am using 5 gallon bottles with no problem. 4 gallon bottles will work well also with rack. I am using round PRIMO bottles.

Hi Mack, the answer is yes. Check this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTaGTAAGA8g. I have a extra 5 gallon container that has not been used. If you are interested. I can sell to you for half the retail price.

You can use as much as 5mls per one gallon. Different uses call for different combinations of concentrate and water.

I only mix it to 5-5 1/2 gallons not the full 6 and I get 23-25 bottles. If you mixed to the full 6 gallons I would assume you'd get 27-30 bottles.

It takes the 5 gallon plastic bottles and since the shape is the same you should be able to.

Yes. We use 1 gallon, 3 gallon, and 5 gallon glass carboys. Just make sure you rinse off the top of the jug before you put it in the crock so you dont get dust in your water.

I use the 3 gallon bottles, mainly because they are easier for me to handle, but the unit is sturdy enough, I think it would handle the 5 gallon just fine.
