Wireless water bottle pump: setup, charging and cleaning

Lifting a large drinking-water bottle onto a stand is heavy and awkward. A wireless electric pump sits on top of the bottle and dispenses water with one press of a button.

Setting it up

1. Charge first: plug the pump into a USB charger using the cable provided until the light shows it's full.
2. Fit the tube: push the suction tube into the base of the pump.
3. Attach to the bottle: remove the bottle cap, insert the tube and press the pump firmly onto the neck. Most standard large water bottles fit.
4. Press to pour: press the button once to start and again to stop. Point the spout into a glass or jug.

Charging tips

One full charge typically lasts for many bottles of water, depending on use. Recharge when the flow slows or the indicator light changes. Unplug once fully charged.

Keeping it hygienic

• Rinse the tube and spout with clean water each time you change bottles.
• Once a month, pump a little warm water through the system.
• Wash your hands before fitting the pump to a new bottle.

It also works well at offices, on camping trips and for elderly family members who find lifting heavy bottles difficult.
