u8mylunch Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Since moving to the retangle shape I have had nothing but spills when refilling the spay bottles. Even when using the screw on filler attachment. Any thoughts on this? (NOTE: THIS THREAD IS FROM 2009. WE HAVE CHANGED OUR GALLONS SINCE! -Adam) Edited June 30, 2011 by Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08G8V8 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If the gallon containers are over 3/4 full, I was unable to refill without spilling everywhere. I have since bought tap spouts that allow me to refill without spilling. I still need to store the gallon containers upright, and not on their side, because the tap spouts do leak when stored on their side but not when refilling.

Jlightning347 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I am able to fill my DS without using the Ez-fill funnel attachment, I don't have a problem with spilling. Try and placing the Gallon on a table, then till it when you fill your bottle. That way you wont have to hold up the Gallon and the spray bottle.

Bill-V8V Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I hold the 16 oz bottle in the sink and put the gallon on the counter and tilt, no spills :2thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankDog Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Only gallon I have is the carwash soap and it makes a mess every time i pour it. Going to put some in another container that is easier to pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P's Titan Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 what product are you using to fill with? Some products when filling because of the chemicals used fiz up ( APC, GWC ) Is this what your talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superchargedgp Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 no i fill detail spray i pours all over the gallon jug while pouring into the funnel. it gets really annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Suds Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't have that problem. I have the rectangle gallon and the ez fill. Not sure what it wrong with it. I actually like the rectangle design, much easier to store and can fit more in a space than the round containers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loud Pedal Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I hold the 16 oz bottle in the sink and put the gallon on the counter and tilt, no spills :2thumbs: Thats exactly what I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson4450 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 yeah ive had issues too with the spilling but it may have been because the jugs were new i dont know but it made a mess and then a really clean spot on my floor lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime0546 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Along with the ez fill funnel, i use a spout that screws on to gallon size bottles and pours neatly so I then have no problems. Before I used the funnel, the liquids would dribble down the side of the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin04 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I just got a gallon of the new window cleaner and the shape of the container is different from my other ones. Are they all being converted over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 WOW... didn't know they were shipping the new bottles yet. Looks like you're one of the lucky first to get em. I saw the new design last month and thought it was a definite improvement. Sturdier plastic, easier to pour, more ergonomic handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
