I have seen some coolers with smaller than 19l bottles, possibly glass on them. Does anyone know where you can get these from? Think they must be about 10l.

TIA

I've also seen them (but never on sale any where). Would be very interested in one.

A possible alternative to 19ltr bottles is a filter system. I have a reservoir tank and a filtration unit under the sink (power point needed). The filtered water is fed to a tap fitted to the sink by the fitter and to the water cooler, which has a float switch rather than a 19ltr bottle on the top. I now have drinking water on tap and also from the water cooler, and no more changing heavy water bottles. The filters need to be changed every year, but cheaper than buying water bottles, once the initial installation has been paid for. I have had the system for a few years now and am delighted with it, as is my wife who is small in stature and had difficulty with the full bottles when I was not available!

Some of the water delivery vans may have them. I was walking past a van recently and there were some on the floor with the larger bottles. Also you can get soft plastic water containers. I saw those at the vets

For those struggling to do the snatch and lift on the 19 litre bottles you could get a bottom loading machine with which you can shove the bottle in with your feet and save your back.

The bottom loading ones are brilliant. My husband was starting to struggle with lifting the bottles now they just slide in, even I can do it, brilliant. They also look much neater.

Bought a bottom loading one 18 months ago and been back to the store 3 times, always for malfunctioning electrical bits and pieces at the back or refusal to pump upwards to the reservoir. Its a Silver and needs to go back again as soon as the store reopens. I used to think they were brilliant but won't ever purchase a Silver again.

Seen 15lt Bottles in Erulku today.

OK, we know the smaller bottles exist, but anyone seen the slimmer coolers?

Does not help the original question really.

Are they the glass ones? I have seen these in use at the fishmongers in Alsancak, I may have to ask there. Thanks

No. Same material as the 19lt.
