Pump Recommendations
1. The water bottle should be installed in a cool place (temperature not higher than 20ºС), where direct sunlight does not fall.
2. Install the pump with clean hands
3. Do not touch the pump spout with your hands, do not drink water directly from the pump spout.
4. It is advisable to wipe the entire pump with a damp cloth every time you change the bottle. Or disassemble the pump and rinse with any dishwashing detergent. Rinse with running water at least 30 degrees. Then dry completely on a towel, as a dry environment is detrimental to bacteria.
5. When pouring water, make sure that the spout of the tap does not touch the glass.
6. Avoid suction of liquid from the glass into the bottle by reverse current (do not lower the tap deep into the glass).
7. Sanitization of the pump is recommended once every 6 months (you can do it yourself). If the pump is used by a large number of people, especially children, then sanitization should be carried out more often (once every 3 months)

I ordered a pump on Ali, a similar one in Russia costs at least twice as much. Either I came across such a copy, or in China the bottles are thicker, in general, the lower ring does not fix the pump well on the bottle, so it starts to let air through.
When the bottle is full, it pumps water more or less normally. As soon as the water becomes half or less, pumping problems begin.
We need to think about how to additionally seal the internal soft plastic ring. Of the pluses, I want to note only the fast delivery - the export from Singapore was on March 21, and on April 5 it was already received at the post office, my fastest package.
How to repair a drinking water pump.
The pump for bottled water does not pump, there is a video.
There are a lot of types of water pumps: they can be both manual and electric, for 5 liter bottles and 19. In the event of a breakdown, it will not be difficult to repair a water pump if you know the principle of its operation.
The manual water pump (Pump) is tightly put on the neck of the bottle, when the button is pressed with the help of a plastic corrugation, it pumps air into the container, increasing the air pressure in the bottle and thereby causing the liquid to rise up the tubes.
- What to do if the pump stops pumping water?
The only reason that the water pump stopped working is the loss of tightness.
Where to look for damage and how.
The first thing to do is to disassemble the pump, the disassembled pump is shown in the picture above.
Inspect the parts for damage, special attention should be paid to the plastic corrugation, as it is usually made from the most common polyethylene.
Check whether the valve petals are in place; with their help, air remains in the bottle when the corrugation is unclenched after pressing the button.
If the corrugation is damaged, it is recommended to replace it, but a small gap can be sealed with adhesive tape or some other elastic adhesive, it is best to do this from the inside so that the patch does not come off from air pressure.
If the valve is torn out, it must be put in place, the valves pop out due to a sharp effort when the water supply button is pressed.
4. If this did not help, check how the pump sits on the neck of the bottle, and whether the sealing ring is in its place. There should be no air leakage where the pump is put on the bottle. Sometimes, when removing the pump from the bottle, they do not loosen the clamp (holder) that holds the pump on the neck, and this leads to the rubber seal coming off
Such damage is hard to see with the naked eye.You can pull the edge of the seal, if it comes out freely, it must be put in place and, depending on the model, fixed. To do this, you need to disassemble the holder and put the seal where it is attached.
