5 Gallon Water Bottle Rack, Holds Five 18.9 L Jugs

Description

Holds five full bottles, off the floor and in order

Bottles left on the floor get kicked, collect dust on the cap, and get used out of order so the oldest one sits longest. A rack fixes all three. Load it front to back and the bottle at the front is always the one that has been waiting longest, so it is the next one used, first in, first out, which matters most to anyone on a delivery schedule.

What the specification actually is

Most listings for this kind of rack will not tell you plainly what it is made of or what it holds. This one does.

Product details

• Bottle capacity: Five 18.9 L (5 gallon) bottles
• Frame material: Steel, powder coated
• Mounting: Must be anchored to a wall stud or solid masonry
• Fasteners supplied: No
• Assembly: Flat packed, or assembled to order

Anchor it to a wall stud before you load it

Five full 18.9 L bottles weigh about 208 lb (94.5 kg), carried high on the frame. This rack must be fastened to a wall stud or solid masonry with at least two points of attachment before any bottle goes on it. Drywall anchors alone are not acceptable. Fasteners are not supplied, because the right one depends on what is behind your wall. Call 905-670-7400 and Puretap will help you work out what to ask for at the hardware store.

We say this plainly rather than bury it, because it is the honest thing to do and it is the question most people are actually asking before they buy a rack like this.

Flat packed or assembled

Flat packed is the rack in its carton, ready for you to put together, at $124.95. Assembled is the same rack built and ready to anchor to the wall, at $164.95. The $40 difference is the labour of putting it together before it reaches you. Assembled is available for pickup at 950 Verbena Road, Mississauga or local GTA delivery, it does not flat pack back down for courier shipping.

Bottles, water and delivery across the GTA

A rack is only useful with water in it. Puretap delivers 18.9 L distilled water delivery and 18.9 L spring water delivery across the GTA, or set up a quarterly distilled water subscription or quarterly spring water subscription so the rack stays full on a schedule. Prefer glass? Puretap also sells 3 gallon Italian glass carboys and 5 gallon Italian glass carboys.
