How to Replace an Ozarka Five Gallon Jug

Five-gallon water jugs are eco-friendly and convenient.

The Ozarka Spring Water Company traces its roots to sacred Indian grounds and the Civil War, and was officially established in 1905. Today the company's 5-gallon bottle and water cooler system brings natural spring water to your home or office. The bottles are delivered on a schedule of your choice, and empty bottles are picked up and reused. Changing the bottle can be troublesome if your cooler does not include Ozarka's patented WaterGuard system; expect some water to spill out when the bottle is placed on the cooler stand.

Things You'll Need

• Towel

Instructions

Ozarka Systems with WaterGuard

1. Remove the empty bottle and place it in an area accessible to the Ozarka representative who collects the bottles for reuse.

2. Lift the new bottle onto the water cooler stand and position the red cap on top of the pointed end of the WaterGuard system. The tip will puncture the cap of the bottle.

3. Press each of the water release levers and verify that bubbles release into the bottle.

Ozarka Systems Without WaterGuard

1. Remove the empty bottle and place it in an area accessible to the Ozarka representative who collects the bottles for reuse.

2. Pull the safety tab around the cap and twist and remove the cap.

3. Insert the open end of the bottle into the center of the water cooler stand.

4. Use the towel to clean up the water that spilled out of the bottle during the changing process.

Tips & Warnings

• Utilize your leg muscles when lifting to avoid an injury to your back.
