Don’t want to spend a fortune on dosing containers? Water bottles have become very popular to use as dosing containers. The biggest issue is that they can tip over easily – but fear not, for I have a fancy solution for you!

  • Will support bottles up to 3″ diameter.
  • Includes three 1/4″ all plastic quick connect bulkheads.
  • Includes three 1/4″ tubing for inside the bottles.
  • Stand is made from quality 1/4″ cast acrylic, with mounting screw holes pre-drilled and a cut out handle (except single.)
  • Bottles are not included.
  • Available in black and white.
  • Works with small and large VOSS bottles as well!
Approximate sizes:

Single: 4.125" wide x 4.25" deep x 6" tall
Double: 7.25" wide x 4.25" deep x 6" tall
Triple: 10.5" wide x 4.25" deep x 6" tall
Quad: 13.75" wide x 4.25" deep x 6"tall


Order HERE.



Step 1:

Use a 5/8″ drill bit (I’ve found the forstner bit works best) and drill holes in the center of each cap.

Step 2:

Push the bulkhead through the hole and tighten the screw on the bottom side. This could be a snug fit but you’ll get it!

Step 3:

Connect the supplied tubing and enjoy!
