FAQs

Is this container suitable for storing drinking water?

Yes, the container is made from 100% food-grade approved polyethylene, making it safe for storing drinking water and other food products.

What are the dimensions of the container?

While specific dimensions are not provided, the container has a 20-liter capacity and is designed with an ergonomic body and handle for stability and ease of use.

How do I clean the swivel tap?

The swivel tap can be cleaned by wiping it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly and dried before reattaching or closing the container.

Can this container be used for hot liquids?

The polyethylene material is suitable for typical ambient or cool liquids. It is not designed for storing or dispensing boiling or extremely hot liquids, as this may compromise the material's integrity.

What is the maximum weight the handle can support?

The handle is designed for ergonomic transport of the full 20L container (approximately 21kg when filled with water). However, excessive force or sudden jerks should be avoided to maintain durability.

Is the swivel tap removable?

The swivel tap is designed for secure attachment and easy dispensing. While it can typically be unscrewed for cleaning, it should be re-tightened securely to prevent leaks.

Can I use this container for chemicals?

The container is suitable for general-purpose fluid storage and food applications. It is not recommended for aggressive chemicals or solvents that may react with or degrade polyethylene.

Troubleshooting

Container leaks from the swivel tap.

Ensure the tap is securely tightened. Check the internal and external seals for any damage or debris and clean them. Replace seals if they appear worn.

Difficulty opening or closing the screw cap.

Check the cap threads for any obstructions or dried residue. Clean the threads on both the cap and the container opening. If the cap is damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Container has an odor after prolonged storage.

Wash the container thoroughly with a solution of baking soda and water. Rinse extensively and allow to air out in a well-ventilated area for several days.

Swivel tap dispenses slowly.

Ensure there are no blockages in the tap mechanism or the container opening. Check that the container is not placed on an uneven surface that might restrict flow.
