Cap For 5 Gallon Water bottle

thingiverse

So our well water is absolutely awful. Then we got this fantastic fridge with an icemaker, so what's the solution? Use bottled water, of course. Our friends from Duluth have really great water, so we get our 5-gallon refills using their water. Of course, one of those pesky caps will wander off occasionally, making the bottle very inconvenient. If this ever happens to you, print one of these caps. They are not fancy, but they seem to get the job done. If you can print in Ninja Flex, check out http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:845132. If you want to run your fridge from a 5-gallon jug, you'll need a pump. We use something like "Flojet Bw5000 Bottled Water Dispensing System", Just Google it. You'll find one on eBay, probably Amazon too. It works great! A bit noisy, especially when it suddenly starts making ice during a late-night horror movie. But you get used to the sound. Throw away the ice maker tubing supplied with the pump and get "Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Supply Kit" from your local home improvement store. It has a better connector to your refrigerator. You will still need to cut one end off to connect to the pump. Oh well. We haven't had a leak yet, but of course, when it does happen, it will proceed to empty the full 5-gallon jug.
