Hi All
I'm currently running my two-group from 5 litre bottles of water from the supermarket. It would make more sense to use the large bottles (c 20l) that are used on water coolers. Does anyone have any idea where a chap can get hold of these? (I'm thinking of a shop, not on-line, and I don't want to enter into any sort of supply contract).
Hope someone can help.
Regards

Hate to tell you this but our local Bournemouth B & Q is closing down and yesterday I saw a pile of 20lt filled bottles marked down to 50p each.

Go on, plumb into into the mains water. You know it would be easier then carrying all those bottles an look nicer too!

Ah -B&Q was one idea that I thought of but haven't tried yet.
Yes, I will plumb in in due course, but I'm in a rented flat at the mo and can't mess around with plumbing, let alone making holoes in work surfaces etc. Believe me, I would like to.
Thanks for the thoughts.

Hi,
look in the yellow pages for a local bottled water supplier - the kind that do office coolers. A bottle of water is £6/£7 with a £6/£7 deposit. If you never bring it back - you just paid £7 for the bottle. Not the cheapest - but easy. Some times they have empty bottles from other suppliers - they might give these for free. My local water supplier gave me 5! Otherwise they just dump them.
