how does the water bottle fit...the spindle to pierce the neck of the water jug seems to be off centre?

I never really took notice, I just remove the paper from bottle top and put in on the cooler, I do get the smaller bottles I think it's 3 gallons, opposed to the 5.

It can be off centre but just by 1 to 2 mm. Be careful with the spindle because they don't make replacement for it. I had to wait 4 months until they had a used unit returned for me to get the part. Of course they charged me for a new unit but what can you do.

I haven't had any problems with it piercing caps, sometimes need to add a little pressure to get some bottles to pierce.

It is pretty deep so if it is a regular water bottle then it is fine. I have a squirt top bottle and it doesn't swing or move at all. Only my Tervis water bottle has issues staying in place, but that's because it is wider at the base?

I don't have one of those water bottles, but I've easily fit a standard water bottle in the side pocket. (One for me and one for baby). Much bigger than that it might not fit. The elastic stretches a bit to hold it snug.

I use a big water bottle, so usually carry it inside my bag. Seems like if using a standard size, it would fit okay. Sorry that I couldn't be more help!

without going to physically measure I'll tell you that a typical pint water bottle from discount places fit w/room to spare. I added a carbineer to hold my keys when I go to the gym. I wish the bottle would fit more snugly but it does keep liquid cold/cool. I usually leave the sleeve in the car to access it at any time. Hope that helps.

Do you have a good seal on the bottle? It should be very snug. I had one bottle that I had to use one of the rubber adapters with, but most fit perfectly. Pam

Well, I just opened mine and you are right. Mine has a big hole as well. And it is hard to purchase droppers for these bottles, darn it.

I have 4 of these bottles and I have trouble with one of my lids - it goes on crooked and leaks. :(

NO, this one is too long and the measurement of the opening is different. ( measurement according to my present Cabelback /Nalgene sipper water bottles only.)

If the collar that holds the bottle you use now is removeable, it should fit fine.

My pump didn't fit my 5 gallon bottle. I think maybe the pump wouldn't fit over the bottom of the bottle neck. Our solution was to use plastic to a cerrain thickness so that .the pump fit snuggly over the uiper part of the neck. Not the same as getting pieces that actually fit, but ...hey!

The bottle measures just short of 2 3/4". This is measuring across the middle of the circle. It is a great product. The is accurate with a metal ruler.Enjoy.

I took mine out due to I couldn't drink with it in. Mine fit in the bottom side of the top, but not very good in the top side. Email where you got it from & they can let you know how and if you can get one. Shirley

the lid screws on and you have to flip the straw upright to drink. I have not had any problems with leaks and use daily and throw in my lunch bag. I like this bottle because keeps smoothies cold through the afternoon.

The bottle itself is not uniform from top to bottom. As you can see the picture, the top portion (near neck of the bottle) is little wider compared to the bottom part. The diameter of the bottom part is 5.6 cm whereas the top part is close to 6.3 cm.

If the bottle is tall and slim, I usually take the middle shelf out and lay the bottle on the bottom on an angle. If the bottle is short and fat, same thing. It will fit without being on an angle.

Not really sure but I am sure that the old nipples and the nipple "holder" that you screw on will not fit the bottle. I believe its a bit wider.
