Can you use this system in a water cooler that has the water feeding through from the bottom? I upgraded to the cooler that has a door underneath the faucets to hide the water jug but spring water cost a lot because we go through a 5-gallon jug in less...

No, not in that configuration. It only works on the "old style" inverted dispensers. It will also NOT work on the newer inverted dispensers with the valve in the top of the plastic water jug. We had to abandon the filter as the ceramic dome developed crack and caused to much flow so it flooded as the main filter cartridge could not handle the volume. We are now looking at the Berkey filter system. It can filter non-potable water and make it drinkable. Hope that helps R

Yes. The inline water from the fridge can be used to connect to this water cooler However if using the reverse osmosis option this cooler has an external line that needs to be plumbed to your sinks drainage. Hope this helps. Any other questions or you don't understand this message u can call me. Bill. 905 466 1345

Filter - I know nothing about being able to use a filter and to my knowledge the manual mentions nothing about being able to use a filter. Maybe one could adapt a filter for it. I either buy Spring water, pre-filtered water or I filter water through my Brita filter to fill my jugs. BJ

I am not sure if I wrote this comment or not but you can get it cold. This connects directly to your water source and does the filtering for you so you will not need to buy 5 gallon bottles. Something did break down after a couple of months but they sent a new one ASAP so that was nice. No problems other than that.

Yes,You have to do one of the followingCap the hot inlet side so cold water will not leak out.OrInstall a TEE & feed both inlets with cold water

Yes, I will recommend pump in the system. I bought one system from iSping without pump and returned it because the very slow in producing water. If you want to split some water to refrigerator, a system with pump will be better.

I wish I could help. We no longer own the water cooler. Best of luck on finding your answer.

I purchased the VitaPur cooler. However, don't upgrade to the hot/cold version of this cooler. This is because once you take out the splash-proof spout it also removes the ability to make hot water which then defeats the purpose of getting a hot water cooler. However, it'll still work with cold water. Hope that makes sense!

I agree with jsto's comments....I never thought to put ice in their with the water. I'll will try that. I bought that unit for my enclosed patio because I didn't want to have a hole in my patio for draining.

No, the water would overflow and all you would have left is a small amount. This has to be used for feed so the gravity takes it to the tray. Suggest getting a similar size but made for water where the water is regulated.

3 gallon The system is very economically priced for a 5 stage filter. We have never ran out of filtered water even after filling a 5 gallon jug.

Water Supply: The 'Parts and Features' list and diagram in the manual show that the only water intake is a jug. In looking at the water cooler myself I do not see any hook up for a water line. BJEH

I ran into the same problem in that the cap size for these jugs is larger than the ones I previously purchased for our kitchen water dispenser (with a no spill gadget that is useful for putting the filled jug onto the water cooler). So, i use these jugs for storing water and then use a funnel to pour the water into the jug that has the non-spill cap for use on the water cooler. My wife thinks I'm either cheap or crazy. She is probably right.

The 2 wasted gallons go down the drain. There's a line from the system directly to the drain pipe under your sink. It is - unfortunately - uneconomical in terms of water use. I had at one point contemplated a whole house R/O system because of chloride problems in our water supply which coat our fixtures with white residue. But when we found out how much water it would waste to supply the whole house we determined to just supply a single tap with purified drinking water.

If you want to winterize a system, just put in a tee, a valve and run the open tube outside the dwelling. You would then just need to shut off the water source and open the valve to drain the system. Just make sure that the tee is the lowest point in the system...you may need multiple tees and valves to easily drain all the water out....

The product comes with the water bottle and filters that fit in slots in the bottle. You pour tap water in the top portion of the bottle and it filters down into the lower portion of the bottle and your water cooler.Filter life depends on the water quality for your area.

That was a little tricky. I think they should include a bottle with the unit. We bought a 5 gallon water jug--I think you could use a 3 gallon too.. Ours was filled with water. It was meant to be returned & refilled. It's just a regular water cooler bottle.You might be able to buy an empty one at the hardware store.
