Water bottles

Post by Vaklav67 »

Hi All.
I have purchased an 18 liter bottle of water that has a screw on top. I have also purchased 2 different pumps, neither of which will work because the lip below the threads is too big for the pump to slip over. Does anyone know where one might purchase the bottles that have the press on lids? I’m positive my pump would work on that type. I am in Cha Am but will go to Hua Hin to find the right bottle.
Thank you for your help in advance. 🙏🙏🙏

We went this route, although it sits countertop, with bottle under the counter, which already had a whole for electric cords, and works a treat, IF, applicable to your 'space'.

I've had enough of carting one or two 1.5 l. bottles in from the outdoor to the indoor fridge every day of my life, and fed up with the space they take up, so I'm going back to a kitchen upright water chilled and 18 l. bottles as I had in the UAE.

I like to change water brands regularly (varying mineral and other content). Can I get home deliveries from say three different brands (Nestle, Namthip, etc.)? Probably only one bottle a week is needed. I only see Nestle online.

If I go the refillable route instead, How do people clean/sanitise their empty PET bottles? Or don't they? :D

Definitely one for me to follow. My uses the refillable route in his work area, and has been doing so for years, but the only thing he has done is cover his bottles to keep direct sunlight. Sanitise sounds good, but how?

Don't need very much, and not sure where to buy it in liquid form, or small lots.

:shock: Thank you, but personally, I'd be afraid of poisoning somebody - I will pass it on though. :thumb:

Actually, the Chlorine-generating tablets solution looked OK, and I will look to see if somewhere like Lazada has them.

[Edit] Plenty available, and cheap too, but all for cleaning swimming pools.

I would rinse it out with near boiling water and let it dry in full sun. Bacteria won't survive that.

You can pour in a couple cap fulls of Listerine to be extra safe.

Why don't you use potassium permanganate dissolved in water to disinfect? It's called dam tubtim in Thai, and most medical stores sell it.

Without being pedantic, and a slow news day, it should be noted that Sodium Hypochlorite, (usually just referred to as "hypo") is very much a standard form of both sanitizing and disinfecting equipment in the food industry.
Growing up on a dairy farm the inspectors would always ask to see that we had hypo on hand.
The milking equipment was always flushed through with it, and then a splash more put in the washing up tub.

Care should be taken when using it as in pure liquid form it is very strong, so just a small splash in a water container is enough. The container may retain the smell of it, so don't be tempted to rinse it out with the garden hose!

Thought hypo is bleach? A possible CoVid treatment previously proposed by the president-elect? :duck:
Sorry, back to topic. I know the wife used to soak the fruits and veggies from market in that permanganate concoction..

As usual, waaaay off topic. The guy asked about water pumps for these 18l bottles.
