Can I pour water into the dispenser rather than keeping the water bottle on top? I don't want a floor stand (kids). I want it to fit under the count

You can but this doesn't come with a lid so it's not very practical. There are others that have a closed top if you look for them. I have mine set on the counter top.

Yes. That is how I use it. I purchased the ceramic cover. I have no use for the huge bottle. I also use the plastic ring. The cover fits very nicely in the ring.

Yes, I fill mine with liquid and cover with a paper towel. The ring that comes wit it does a great job of keeping the paper toweI in place. I keep mine under my counter as well.

I've seen on amazon ceramic crock covers that would work too. I am using a paper towel or cotton cloth until I buy the kombucha mama's cover since I don't have time to sew one. I use it for kombucha. I was also considering setting it on my shelf since I make more then one culture to make sispensing and/or bottling easier with the spigot overhanging instead of a stand.

If You have easy access to the underside of the sink, you can un-screw the plastic bottle and fill it that way. I find it easier to do from the top, using the supply tube as a dip stick so as not to over fill

The bottom part of the picture is a separate stand for the dispenser that comes with it. It dispenses directly out of the bottom hole when you actuate the thumb lever. It worked OK for me. There is a plastic model that is clear and has a built in base that again is clear that I liked better. It is a little lighter and you can clearly see through it.

yes you can just and water and put in your fridge if it fits. Most people are putting a 3 or 5 gallon bottle of water on top and it's sits on a stand. Also this unit does not come with a lid, it is sold separate.

No, I would use a separate bowl to mix and then transfer for dispensing. It is so easy to clean and no dripping from the bottom. I love mine!!! :)

Yes, but not easily. You need to dry the entire thing and shimmy the top part out. It DOES NOT just slide out. The company acknowledges that it is tricky when I called but other than that wasn't too helpful. Overall, I love do love this large capacity water dispenser though.

No I place something under the neck so the bottle can be placed down without dripping

If you remove the plastic piece that sits right at the top of the bottle... Flush with the top..looks like a straw when you pull out the entire piece...using the large plastic key that comes with the ISI..then you will be able to empty excess water that gets trapped. Then, whenever you make a new bottle of water, be extra careful to screw the dispenser top on evenly and tightly. These two things are important to the process. If this doesn't help, I would guess the top is not screwing on evenly since the threads are stripped. Good luck.

No. Slide into slots that are fixed. One slot for each shelf. You can delete a shelf so you can have s shelf for tall items. The very bottom shelf is rather tall and we have no issues. Spray bottles would not fit unless you remove a shelf. Hope tis helps.

it should be hung vertically otherwise you will spill lots of water when you change the filter. :-)

Not quite. A regular 16oz water bottle is about 2" too tall to stand upright in the bottom section. However you can layer them 2 deep, and get 8 bottles in there comfortably.

The dispenser can be locked from the bottom prior to securing on the stand - this keeps the tab from being depressed in order to open the lid. The dispenser can also be used unlocked and will still require some dexterity to open the top of the unit.

I don't have that type of dispenser, but there is plenty of room for the cubes from my trays. Great water bottle! I have it with me 24/7, and holds ice all day, even if left in the sun.

I don't know. I gave this one to a friend as a gift. I don't think it's an issue b/c you are not putting liquids in it.

Yes, but put the rubber ball on top shelf. I don't like this as much as I thought I would because the rubber ball does not fit very tight, and when you baste it gets hot and the liquid comes out at the top. When I use it I put a zip lock around it to stop the leaking, it is a pain but it works.

yes, when you dispense to the drop cup, you can fill that up if you keep pushing the button, this fits great on the counter top out of the way

When you position the cup on the spring stand, make sure that it comes back up all the way so that it's pressed against circular dispenser. It won't be perfect as some will stick in the shaft afterward. I just clean it out every few days.
