Will this work with 5 gallon GLASS bottles?

It should, i haven't seen a glass 5 gal. in years but i'm pretty sure the current plastic bottle is same height. the siphon included (the straight section not connected the machine) will telescope in/out so you can adjust the height.

I have never used a glass bottle, but if it is the same size as the plastic ones then it will be fine. The bottle slide into the lower compartment. There is room all around the bottle. I love this cooler. I have had three and this one is the best.

I guess it depends what you mean by "work." This machine is designed for use with sealed bottles you buy at the store (with the plastic seal around the top). I live in a rural area and simply refill my bottles "in town" from city water, which is very high quality and much better than the water in my area. Therefore, my bottles aren't sealed. So, I just lower the pumping system into my bottles and it works fine. It just doesn't create the tight seal on it that allows you to carry the bottle by the handle provided on the pump. My bottles are plastic, but I'm sure it work work fine this way with glass. I hope this makes sense and is helpful. I guess it depends what you mean by "work."

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.

I'm sure it would, the water bottle simply sits on the floor inside the bottom cabinet and then you simple put this long straw like wand into the jug and it pumps the water up into the unit. I like it because you don't have to lift and tip the heavy jugs over anymore. Glass or plastic, it shouldn't matter as long as the size fits in the bottom cabinet.

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.

I'm not sure. We only use the 5 gallon plastic but if the opening is the same diameter I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Im not sure mine is attached to a 5 gallon Primo bottle I bought in Kroger if you look at the size of the bottle head and it is the same size as the 3 gallon then it should work

Based on my memory of the old glass bottles, this pump should work fine. The seal will work on any bottle as long as it fits over the neck/opening and since it operates on positive pressure the rigidity of the glass wouldn't be a factor.

Yes I use this with both plastic and glass Dr. Brown's bottles and it works great. I can usually get up to 6 bottles in but the top gets a little tight for all the bottle parts.

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

It'll work if the opening in the neck is the same size as the plastic bottle. I think 5 gal. water jugs are pretty much the same size.

never tried but if it can FIT on the glass bottle then probably it will do the job. because its plastic so I don't think there will be a problem

I'm sorry, but no, that will not work. Neither the McCormack plastic or glass bottles fit into this wall rack. The plastic is too big around (I only had short ones and don't even know if they come in tall.) and the glass tall bottles are too tall to fit into the shelves. Its just not made for bottles that large.

It should. It goes in place of the 5 gallon water bottle. Has to be top load, it wont work in a bottom load.

yes, it will hold either the 3 or the 5 gallon bottles - However, I would purchase a different model if I were to do it all over

No it won't. It will only work on wide mouthed bottles but I still use for other bottles. Well made. I did not know either when I bought it but decided to keep it anyways.

The unit is designed to work with 3-5 gallon plastic bottles. Glass bottles are not recommended because the material often requires that the neck of the bottle is narrow compared to plastic. This makes it unlikely that the probe will be able to fit into the bottle. However, if the probe fits, it can be used.Yes, the hot tank is stainless steel.

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.

Yes - I have the TT 5oz bottles on every peg and there is room to spare. Should work fine for the 9oz ones.

Yes ... we use a 3 gallon bottle, but the same container fits both 3 & 5 gallon
