Review on 🔋 Arrow 00744 Slimline 2.5 Gallon Container by Matt Chirila

This review is for the 3 gallon beverage dispenser. I recently purchased two of these dispenser jugs to dispense room temperature water in my kitchen and office. Since I knew in advance that I would only use two dispensers for storing and dispensing pure spring water, this did not bother me at all. about the fact mentioned by many other reviewers that the two handles are hollow and filled with the drink that goes into the dispenser and cannot be cleaned. Since I only store clean well water in these dispensers, I never have to thoroughly clean the hard-to-reach inner surfaces on the inside of the handles, which can involve rubbing or scraping. When using my dispenser jars, I noticed that they both had small leaks around the screw cap that attaches the sleeve to the threaded neck that comes out of the bottom front of the dispenser. On one of the two dispensers, I was able to stop the leaking completely by hand-tightening the screw cap with more force. For the second leaking dispenser, no amount of hand tightening could completely stop the small leak around the screw cap, so I took some large pliers from my tool kit and adjusted the jaws to the width best for gripping the screw. cap and twisted the cap even tighter with far more force than I could muster by hand. Although the cap only tightened an additional 1/8 turn or so, that extra degree of tightening was enough to completely close the screw cap and permanently seal the small leak. Aside from that odd issue with a slight leak around the screw cap that holds the dispenser valve/tube - an issue also noted by many other reviewers - I have found both of these dispensers extremely satisfactory and useful for the application I intended. All in all a very good product but for minor manufacturing flaws/irregularities in the screw cap and threaded finish of the dispenser which took me a lot of effort tightening the screw caps onto the nozzles to prevent small leaks around the cap seal. Yes, I would buy these dispensers again if I had a similar need for a dispenser jug.
