Hi everyone,

Want to by a reliable drinking water dispencer for 4 gallon bottles for the reasonable price.This is for home use. Does anyone know what brand is good.

There are many bottle sizes and shapes out there. In my area, 5-gallon square or 5-gallon barrel shaped are the most common.

Can you show us what your bottle looks like - or give a link to the provider's site showing the bottle?

Also, do you want both room temp andcooled water taps for it?

Yes, I need a dispencer for 5-gallon ( 18.9 ltr.) barrel shaped with both room temp and cooled water taps.

Home Depot carries the GE line and some stores carry a few others as well.

We tried the GE but the flow from it was incredibly poor. I switched to a Sunbeam model and the flow rate from that was much better. It was around a $100.

The sunbeam has heated water, bottle temp water and cold water spigots. The temps are adjustable to a point.

Some models (GE and Sunbeam) also have a chiller compartment to store soda, wine, etc and keep it cool. But, it has a tendency to build up a lot of condensation.

Also, check with a local bottled water supply company, they will rent/sell coolers in many different shapes/sizes.

I use this one (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3926088) for 5 gallon jugs.

I've had it about 4 years and it works just fine.
