    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?

    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 for 5 gallon jugs.

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