Our First Primo Water Bottle and Dispenser

My roommate and I just purchased the 5 Gallon Primo Water Bottle and 3 - 5 Gallon Primo Water Dispenser. Watch and see how to put together a Primo water bottle and water dispenser for the first time. I hope this video makes your first time a little bit easier! Read the comments below for more helpful advice :D
COST:
5 Gallon Primo Water Bottle = $11.50 at Walmart
3 - 5 Gallon Primo Water Dispenser = $32.97 at Walmart
COST TO REFILL
35 cents a gallon at Kroger ($150 per 5 gallon)
7-YEAR UPDATE (2020)
The dispenser is still working like new! No mold. No cracks. No aged plastic. After a few months of lifting the 5-gallon jug, we both got strong enough to carry it with one hand. I (the female) can now carry two of them at once. Also, we don't need two people to refill it. I can change the jugs out really quickly now, and am confident that there will be no accidents (we haven't had any yet - lol).

You all have the only "how to" video for first time users of this system. You helped us know that top needs to be completely removed, pour a little slowly into dispenser and to place dispenser on countertop before putting the bottle on top. Thanks! you did a good job and made us laugh.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

Lol, yes! This is the "how to" and "what not to do" in one video.

[@zeeshantaj55]

Just look at their happiness! How happy is the couple after installing the dipenser...

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

We are really into water, and are glad that we got started with this system years ago. It's all smiles over here!

[@glendalcaide430]

Wow! This is a 10yr old video?? Hope y’all okay❤️Thanks for the video! Looks like it’s still a hit! Blessings☺️

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

Hey, we're doing great. Thank you for asking.

[@glendalcaide430]

@@HeyJustLetMeSpeak did y’all get married😉

[@hurcell1]

Yep, I needed to see how you get the water into the dispenser. Thanks for that. Funny too because I graduated from Duluth High School. Many years ago though. Go Wildcats ! Best of luck with the water and dispenser.

[@ksull72487]

I work for a water delivery service. Coffee, tea. Not sure why I felt like looking this up. I've had a few coolers. I'm back to the Porcelain Crock all Black. They are kind of statement pieces. The big problem with coolers is they are full of bacteria and jam beyond repair easily. Not to mention rubber and plastic even though they may use a stainless tank for the hot or cold. Most only use stainless on the hot side. The porcelain will last forever. Slightly colder than room and the spigot is replaceable. Not to mention the material is probably the most sanitary and easiest to clean. To combat not having cold water get a glass pitcher and store it in the fridge. Just remember to refill it. To combat not having hot water use the keurig and the water from your crock. They are making a come back believe it or not for the style and sanitary build.

[@maxinejohnson524]

I like the black one also

[@Documike]

You guys answered my question of what part of cap to remove from the bottle. THANKS.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

Yay! Success! I'm so glad to hear that :D

[@gl35]

Exactly the video I was looking for. Thanks.

[@bikehitscar]

This helped me a lot and you guys seem awesome! Thanks!

[@biboyrn4496]

Hope you guys are doing well

[@BobBalcom]

Anyone else putting this together, the large screw goes UNDER the round base and into the two cross legs of the stand. Then the round base is screwed to the cross legs. You might consider using a little glue between the two cross legs before screwing them together to increase the sturdiness of the whole unit.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

+Bob Balcom, Thank you Bob!

[@jesskikit]

Great video! Yours was the first one I clicked on and it was exactly what I needed, I think I'll get on for my apartment too.

[@cloosier]

You two are too cute! Thanks for the video instructions!

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

Thank you Carla. What a sweet thing to say

[@chris-zu6sf]

Bless you for this video! You can purchase a water dispenser water guard that punctures a hole in the 3 and 5-gallon lid to make it more user-friendly.

[@secondact7151]

Where? I tried to find it on Amazon.

[@chris-zu6sf]

I will find out and post it for you later today. @@secondact7151

[@feefeeschannel3014]

I literally did the same thing lol. I filled it up while it was in the floor. That’s where it will be until I can move it lol.

[@annetteb4930]

Those ingredients are natural minerals!

[@elizabetha.pickens456]

When using the Brita filter you are supposed to run water thru it several times before you use it. That is done to remove the tastes that aren’t very pleasant. Thanks for the video it was helpful.

[@BrianChappie]

You guys are hilarious! You should try swirling the bottle around when you turn it upside to make a whirlpool.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

Hahaha! That's a hilarious idea!

[@_blah]

She has the nicest voice

[@lacasita3697]

Thanks I will buy it look awesome 👏🏾

[@dawnabrownturris55]

Thouse are all healthy minerals you need ever day Try to get the glass wine bottles for home brew as then youre not leeching from the plastic then you have to take them to get filled but way better for you Nice video

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

I just got glass bottles. They are SO heavy! I think I will need to workout more to use them. I'm still nervous about flipping it over.

[@just1missp]

@@HeyJustLetMeSpeak or Dawna Brown Thanks for this suggestion! Where do you purchase glass bottles from?

[@loridukes7273]

It’s good minerals your body needs. ☺️ you are doing your body good. If you just had plain water you’d be flushing out what’s left of your electrolytes. Minerals=electrolytes. I needed to see if I could do this myself. It a 2 person job.

[@mrcliftondiablo]

Lol I like this video but at least y'all got a question answered lol I was wondering if I was supposed to peel that green thing off

[@Jet-yi8wr]

Wow. i bought this same dispenser 11 years ago and today it finally died, So it lasted 11 years for me, I got my $39 bucks out of it for sure, the O-rings in the spout started leaking and was just worn out, I bought another one and i expect another 11 years.

[@1Koolemom]

u 2 r soooo funny but verry informative for this video and I like. thanks. I have just bought the big model and I am soo nervous of installing the water bottle. i am definately not posting.

[@UIV7096]

Ty was looking for a How too install Ty both♥️🥰♥️

[@latjornath6942]

looks like you guys would make great couples. Try that. Thanks for the walk through.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

Thank you. That's a nice thing to say.

[@dezertease]

I enjoyed watching your video, I think you two are super cute, And I am thinking of getting that instead of the more common cooler.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

+dezertease, Yay! Another convert :D I hope you are enjoying your water!

[@stuartlee1000]

Thank you. This was entertaining....

[@sdnative2387]

Saves a lot of money from buying a refrigerated dispenser. FYI some Walmarts have refill dispensers.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

Walmart is so good on water prices. They are a little further away from where I live, but yes, I completely agree!

[@NYskyHI]

you guys are funny. Thank's for posting!

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

Our pleasure! Thank you for the kind words :D

[@NYskyHI]

I get my water from a local supplier in NJ who uses reverse osmosis to purify and the water is alkaline which is also a plus. I think this is much better than popular "spring water" brands.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

NYskyHI That sounds like a better choice!

[@MsAnnettetoomey28]

NYskyHI who provides reverse osmosis water in NJ?

[@genapruitt]

Thank you! (You guys are adorable!) :)

[@rowangarlow]

Thank you!

[@usascottwright]

The video is fine, the only thing wrong with the unit is for it to be pluged in so the water can stay cool.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

+Scott Wright, Oooooo! I've seen the plugin units, and they are fancy. We both love our water room temp, but a plugin unit might offer us hot water - which I love!

[@_blah]

Gesh 11 years later, they still didn't get the screw holes right!!!!

[@sarahdurrett1205]

Gah, she is so adorable!

[@Inturl618]

This video is entertaining hehe

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

:D Thank you

[@ArcticGator]

how much does the ceramic crock hold just by itself? looking to use it as an in fridge tea dispenser

[@Nightwing398963]

You start the outside screws first!!

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

+Nightwing398963 Thank you! That would have really helped when I was putting it together. WHERE WERE YOU (T_T)

[@Nightwing398963]

I had just put mine together minutes before I came across your video.

[@JermAlanOfficial]

Google those ingredients, and then look up a water ozonator.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

I did! Thank you for leading me to that interesting search :D

[@jcaprio19]

Does that ceramic dispenser hold a 5 gallon GLASS jug, or is that too heavy?

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

I used a 5 gallon glass jug for a few months, and it was just fine. No stress on the dispenser.

[@bw9709]

sooo the contaminated exterior of the jug lies overtop of the reservoir???

[@SteffMicha]

Not contaminated if you thoroughly wipe the exterior of the bottle with a damp cloth, as you should with any bottle before installing. 😉

[@waynewood8840]

With a damp BLEACH soaked cloth, then wash with clean damp cloth, THEN dry before installing bottle. Well…that’s what the included instructions say to do.

[@billthecat666]

I bought a Primo water cooler and I was disappointed that the water was not very cold.

[@shanellpittman7742]

unless you get the one you see in business it won't get cold because the one you see in business have its own cooling system and it plug into the wall 

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

+Sean Maher, Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that we like our water room temp. There are also plugin dispensers that will give you cold water.

[@1965kid]

+HeyJustLetMeSpeak I like my water room temperature as well. I am going to buy one of these tonight. Thanks for the video. I found it informative, long, but informative. :)

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

Yay! Hey 1965Vintage, how do you like your dispenser?

[@cherbears4446]

The wood is soft you can just screw it in

[@uhavemooface]

Why not get a primo water dispenser for 150 and its a bottom loading one so you don't have to break your back installing it.

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

+uhavemooface, because it's $150. We were new to the water jug thing, and didn't want to spend a lot upfront.

[@uhavemooface]

HeyJustLetMeSpeak That makes sense. Well what about now do you guys have one now?

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

We have 2 water jugs now (one upstairs and one downstairs). I really love them, and they are a great talking point for when guests come over. We are a lot stronger now, so I can carry 2 jugs at once. It also is super simple and fast for me to change with my new muscles.

[@paulaslife3781]

Is it plastic or glass ?? Can I refill it with distilled water I ONLY drink distilled water but I need bottle 20 gallons Often.. Thank you .

[@chuck1prillaman]

Wjen I was young I didn't know anything, either.

[@willdamian1066]

What’s the ph level on primo water?

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

I have no idea.

[@BrownSugarGal]

He cute asf

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

I'll let him know :)

[@s0ulsister]

Helfpul!

[@Body-Soul]

you have to wash the jug first before you drink it

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

+a mendoza, We did. It's in the video :)

[@david12345966]

because those chemicals dont have a taste

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

I tried this black water the other day, and I can't wait until that is an option to fill out tanks with. What I can get in my area is so limited.

[@NorthernWheelies]

14 minutes later..

[@RJSoftware2000]

Ok, room mates... Boing boing boing boing like rabbits

[@dannymartinez4177]

come on is simple

[@HeyJustLetMeSpeak]

+Danny Martinez, I'll admit, it's a lot easier now for me to put things like this together, but only because I have experience with this. If you've never had to put anything like this together, it takes a moment to align your thinking with the design.

[@XxTennisFan001xX]

Newb move!

[@mrbenjaminvincent]

Common sense would have told you to put it on the counter top first

[@Heidishereandthere]

You didnt even wash it out before using. Hmm, and its on the floor.🙄 Next time let the man lead.

[@lindembergl]

Should wash that first, better buy the real ceramic water

[@sassylrhg]

Ahhhhh...to be young & dumb again....NOT!
