Are the chambers easy to refill from a bulk size container? (Mine are gallon size, opening about the same size as a jug of milk)

I have the four-chamber dispenser. I find them easy to refill since you can remove the chambers and pull the cap off the top of them.

The chambers are actually removable bottles so there is no problem filling them at all.
780982
Yes, they're very easy to refill with many different sized containers. The opening of the chamber is about the size of a gallon milk jug.

They are easy to fill. The opening is just a tad smaller than that of a milk jug.
780984
No problem. Just fill them over the sink, put the cap back on and rinse off any excess. Love these things. I've had them for years

I built a "jig", using a stiff cardboard box (I used a BelVita Breakfast Cookies box - extremely stiff cardboard and a perfect size for this), and cut out tight-fitting rectangles for each of the 4 products I use. While that was convenient for the first time fill, since then, I typically only need to refill one product at a time, so the jig is a bit of overkill. However, since it can take some time to fill, it works great for me.

We had no problem filling them. They remove from the dispenser easily. We were able to balance the bottles of product on top of the chambers and let them fill. We used large size bottles of product and the necks were about the same size.

The shower ones are very easy to fill. I have one in each shower and over a long period of time they occasionally break functionally. I bought more so that I can replace ones that break. Lasts about 4 years with regular use. I hope this helps?

Not at all. The measurements are 4 3/4" long by 3 3/4" wide by 10" tall to the top of the blue lid. I love my jugs. I own three of them and I also door bins that are 8 1/2" deep. I can put two of these jugs side by side and they become the size of a milk jug. The advantage is these are tall so that makes them smaller. Just be sure they are not too tall for you. I also cut the handles off of mine as I do not like handles taking up space. The handles would stick out about 2 1/2' to 3". These hold up to 1/2 gallon of koolaid or whatever.

My experience has been to pour in the whole replacement bottle--seems they are sized to be a reasonable refill--at least for my machine and for many years now.

Yes and substantially cheaper if you buy the bigger container and then refill the bottles in the kit

I don't think they are refillable. I've not been able to get the container open. One pen does seem to last a fair amount of time with moderate use.

the link they put up for the econo-lock carboy bungs set of 2 I already bought those, they work great for my 3 gallon carboy. I also already have 2 jugs same type from organic apple juice. same kind of jugs, but the bungs are barely too big too fit. I need smaller ones for my jugs, so might you or anyone reading this, if they are looking for bungs and airlocks for 1 gallon jugs similar to the one shown. might have to find a rubber plug at a hardware store and drill it out yourself. or use a balloon and take a needle to it first and put a tiny hole to let excess pressure out

The opening is a 12" by 7.5" so I think a gallon milk jug would fit easily although I haven't tried it.

I put mine in a gallon glass jar, and refill the small jar from the gallon jar.

If you have a steady hand, there is no problem refilling the bottle. I have never used a funnel and I refill mine regularly (I have four bottles- EEVO/Canola/Peanut/RedWineVinegar).

I just put my pump in a 5 gallon bucket. I tried to screw it on to one of the collapsible clear plastic 5+ gallon water containers but the opening was too small for the pump. I have had no issues just setting it in the bucket.

The opening is exactlly 12 inches wide and 7 1/2 inches deep. I don't have the gal. jug of milk this time-just a 1/2 gal. But I bet that would work. I really love this can. It fit my spot to a T.

It depends how wide the bottle is no matter how many oz it is some are still skinny. they are also too long for some bottels but its l easy to tap it with a meat tenderiser while its in a storage bag then the pieces fit fine and you still know how much your thawing out which helps you from wasting milk.

Honestly I haven't pumped in almost a year (my son is almost 2) so I don't remember exactly. It was quite a few though, and then once they're frozen you can remove them and store them in the lid and past that I started just putting them in the gallon size ziplock bags -- they stack pretty easy once they are frozen flat -- the ziplock wound up holding enough of the milk bags to contain about 100 oz total. I was putting about 4-6 oz in each milk bag. Honestly, though, once they're frozen they don't need to stay in the container anymore, it's served it's purpose then. :)

To answer your question directly, no. The safety valve (the small valve off to the side) is not opened by this. That's one of the weaknesses of refilling your own. Unless you have some way to vent gas, you will only be able to partially fill the 1 lb. tank. But; you'll still be able to re-use and refill them. Just don't plan on being able to get more than about 3/4 lb of propane back in the bottle. This is common to all the refill devices.

Ruthie, I keep mine in a 1 gal jug. I am not sure it will all fit into one 5.5 qt.

No, but they are very easy to fill. It comes with instructions, I filled 15 in about 10 minutes.

i buy it in the large oval canister and i only poke a small hole about the size of a dime in the foil under the lid. i save my empty water bottles, line up the hole i made in canister and pour required amount into the bottle, no spill or no need for funnel. next i just fill with fresh milk replace cap and shake on my way out the door. clear bottle lets u see any unmixed portions but occasional shake is easy enough in the bottle.
