Product Description

This clever design holds back water as you turn over your 3 or 5 gallon water bottle onto your cooler or other water dispenser. Insert the tube inside your bottle and screw it on. As you turn the bottle the ball inside the tube is forced down blocking the water flow. Once the bottle is set into position the ball floats upward in the tube, allowing free flow of water. A single Easy Load cap can be moved from bottle to bottle as you refill your dispenser. With this dishwasher safe product, having two Easy Loads assures you have a clean one. This 48mm screw top fits most 3 and 5 gallon water bottles and is considered a standard size. For reference, outside dimension for the bottle opening would be 1.889 inches. If you have a regular cap for the bottle the outside dimension of that cap is about 2 inches. If your water cooler has a center post, this post can not be taller than 2.5 inches for this product to work. Please measure. GE coolers often have a taller center post.

Costumer Reviews

It works well, discharging some water when you invert the 5 gallon water bottle over the cooler. The ball cock is plastic and wants to float too soon after inversion. If it was stainless steel the cooler's built in extender would lift the ball after inversion not allowing for any water discharge except into the cooler. There is a small amount of spillage compared to inverting without the Easy Load. Do not invert unless you are over the cooler because the ballcock will rise and allow water to discharge from the bottle. A 5 gallon bottle filled is close to 40 pounds. Not an easy task for most people to handle.

My center post was about 2.4 inches and once i put the bottle on, the entire bottle was resting on the cap/ball by a quarter inch (as a result, my cap bent and is useless). I would recommend anybody with a post larger than 2 inches just get the extended cap to prevent this type of issue.
