Does this have to go on the bottom of a bucket? Could it be attached to the already existing hole in a Igloo cooler?

Our igloo has a drain on the side and it is a much smaller hole. The idea is gravity fed so it should be on the bottom and the hole should match the fitting. It has allowed us to take short trips without worrying about the chickens having fresh water. Nice idea and this kit has everything you need to set it up.

I am not sure. We have not set ours up yet. We are going to do in the side of bucket so in winter can use water warmer otherwise the water will freeze. I guess we could both contact the company for sure. I just in this last week got my coop finished.

I am pretty sure it can't. As the directions indicate, and as you can see by the fittings (when you get the product) that it's specifically designed to be placed on a FLAT surface. If you are using a ROUND igloo cooler then it probably won't work. It will leak. Maybe one of the flat square coolers might, if you used calking or some sealant around the edges, but like Blue Garden said it's gravity fed so having it on the bottom is best.

Adding ice would be easily because the filling hole is big enough -- but I'm not certain how one would KEEP the water cold. :)

Will work either location. Be careful not to create backflow if used underground. Draining to prevent freezing could be an issue if underground

Works very well with free flow on our ceramic crock water cooler. No drips or leaks. I have no idea if it would fit on an Igloo cooler.

Unfortunately no. I am planning to drill and tap the base the Yeti is mounted to so that I can just screw it in.

The cooler has clip down feet..... if you size up a few washers you could bolt it down with screws but it would be ugly...

I screwed mine into the bottom of 5 gallon plastic bucket so i could use a heater, with no nuts the werent needed. Be careful screwing into with small diameter i would think.

It is not designed to be used as a ice chest. It is a true freezer/refer. There is no drain hole on the unit. From my understanding compressor units should be left in the upright position so just tipping them over is not good for them.

The hole is a valve to attach a water hose. There is another small hole to view the water level. Perhaps you could put a few pieces of ice in that hole, but not sure. That is not mentioned in the directions.

I think for a short term party it would be fine being used as an ice bucket cooler as mine is sealed on all joints. I would still use a plastic liner to protect it. It's a very nice bucket.

Yes! There is a drain in back near the bottom. Also, I used this cooler for a week-long camping event last summer and it did well.

Hi, Shelly; This accumulator needs to be installed on the pressure side of the pump. It can be connected in almost any cold water line, but best if mounted at or near the pump. Mine used the supplied adapter connecting it directly to the out-let side of the pump. Mine works great.

Quick answer: No. For mine: I have a screwdriver to *gently* chip away any build up frost in the freezer (top) part. For the refrigerator part (bottom): water beads up at the back of the refrigerator and turns hard. But the refrigerator turns off and the water softens and rolls to the bottom where it drains through a hole at the bottom. The freezer part (top) does not have a drain hole. In my opinion, it's nothing serious.

Sorry, no. The Igloo refrigerator we purchased was returned. The cooling system was defective

It has a motion sensor so, under ice, it may not work well. Not to mention it is not waterproof. If you mount it high near the top of the cooler, it will work very well.

I think it is intended to be a stand for the jug OR an ice bucket. Don't think you'd want to set the jug on ice in it, but I never tried that.

I'm currently using a 10 gallon Igloo cooler with this false bottom. If you are using a similar setup, I would recommend to stick with this size for a uniform circulation of the wort. No, it's easy to remove and clean.
