Voss water bottles for dosing containers

[ShakeyGizzard]

Smaller tanks need smaller dosing containers, Seen these Voss water bottles used before. Not bad for a 800ml container for $3.50. If anybody else uses them, did you leave the Voss on it or did you remove it, if so what was your technique. I plan on building the dosing stand to accommodate the dosing pump and up to 4 bottles for my 40 gal breeder. The necessary hardware to convert the bottle is easily found at BRS. The acrylic tube and 1/4 inch connectors. I would advise to soak the top in warmwater from your sink before drilling, this could help stop cracking.

There are a number of 3d printed options for them also.

you could use a dremel or small orbital tool with a polishing attachment I bet. Awesome idea to use these containers by the way!

90% Iso alc works perfect (at least on mine) As will acetone

https://amzn.to/490nyg8 here you go! but the online price of course is more expensive, probably better off just buying empty glass drinking water bottles at that point...

Going from memory which isn't good. I think I softened them up in hot water scrubbed/scraped the label and removed the adhesive with rubbing alcohol.
They work great. I ran them for quite a while until demand increased and I wanted a larger container.

@Johnd651 Voss website shows distributers , https://vosswater.com/store-locator/

Everyone by us has them, but all plastic. I haven't looked at the gas station, but maybe they went back to glass. The grocery store is all plastic.

I made a series of these a long time ago and shared the files on thingiverse.

There's the 375ml and 800ml bottles as well as one 2 or 4 slots.
