can you use other 5 gallon water bottles such as those you use for household water dispensers?

I have never tried to do that. When the bottle cracked, I went to the supply place and bought another one. I cannot remember where I sent for it, sorry.

I have one of the old style waterers & replaced a cracked bottle with a household bottle but it was 3 gal size not 5 gallon, it has worked fine

Maybe, though I would not think it would be such a good idea as it would make the unit top-heavy.Besides that the 5 gallon bottle would be too heavy to fit on the size base of this unit.

I think you can use a different brand if that's what your asking. as long as it fits this type of dispenser.

I'm not sure about what type of water bottle.. I use a Nikken Aqua Pour (old unit) that filters the water about 6 times. It works great with this dispenser. I'm sure you could have water delivered in 2 or 5 gallon bottles from a local water distributor or purchase at a whole foods type of store.

yes you may... BUT the larger/taller bottlers from another brand are a bit too tall (11oz Avent and 9oz Dr Brown bottles) and u won't be able to use the top tray - the top tray only fits in when u use bottles that are as tall as this brand's 9onces witch are same high as Avent's 9onces.however, my biggest disappointment was that it won't sterilized as it should. hope this helps...

It's designed for the 5 gallon. If the opening is the same then yes otherwise no. They sure work well.

I only used bottled water with mine because the water here is hard, however, I would think that you could use any kind.

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.

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.

I think it will take up to much space in the refrigerator, unless you have an usually large refrigerator. Has the same diameter as a regular 5 gallon water bottle that you see on a water dispenser. So unless you can fit that in your refrigerator with the shorter height( dimensions are 10" diameter with 14" overall height)

The clamp on the piece that connects the hose to the bottle probably won't attach properly, but you would still be able to use glass bottles. The clamp is made to attach to sealed plastic water bottles you buy at the grocery or water supply store. This allows you to carry bottles with the handle on the attachment. Since I refill plastic bottles, mine are not sealed and the clamp won't work on those either. I simply hand-carry the bottles and drop the clamp/hose attachment into the bottle, slide the bottle into the compartment and it works fine. Should be the same for 5-gal. glass bottles.

Yes, but the measurements won't line up when you are filling the bottle. We use the small liners sometimes for water ir juice with the large bottles.

I have the Blue Wave 1 and 5- Gallon water bottles and the caps are interchangeable.

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 would personally just use those 5 gallon jugs for holding water. The container serves it's purpose, but the seal is not rubber. It's some foam textured seal.

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 would minimally use a refillable five pound bottle as the disposable cylinder's tend to get cold and reduce output when used on a steady output.

You can use any pump with it as long as you can screw it on the bottle, all you need to do is to change supply tube. Of if you do not want to bother with it, 89c measuring cup from walmart will do the job as well
