Pumps for Gallon Jug, Pack of 2

I use these for dispensing bulk product of detailing chemicals. The exact same pump is marketed here by Chemical Guys for a higher cost. I use these instead, same product - bulk discounts. I have over 2 dozen gallon sized bottles of concentrated chemical, and these handle all of that fine. Yes they do leak, but if you tip the bottle over it drains the top portion out into whatever you're dipsensing to, and literally that is all the 'leak' you get. It's not a leak, they are just dripping out what's left in the horizontal section of the pump. Please be smart, and give an accurate review. A little common sense goes a long way.

These work great with the one-gallon Home Brew Ohio Glass Bottles: http://smile.amazon.com/Home-Brew-Ohio-Polyseal-Capacity/dp/B00A7V9AVC?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage I buy organic gluten-free soy sauce (San-J Organic Gold Label Non-GMO Tamari gluten-free soy sauce) in 5-gallon containers since we use quite a bit and it saves me hundreds of dollars to buy it in volume. But I don't want to store the tamari in the plastic container it comes in (even if I were strong enough to throw five gallons at a time around with ease)... So, I bought 5 one-gallon glass jars and this nifty pump. Problem solved. Now I need only lift one gallon at a time and can easily refill my smaller storage bottles. I do wish this had a lock for the fully open position (it doesn't seem to). This pump takes a bit of getting used to, as it works rather easily and when first using it, I sent a few streams of tamari shooting around the counter and floor before I discovered one must keep one's hands off of the pump unless you want it activated. That said, it's incredibly easy to use. Definitely would buy again!

I guess I didn't read the reviews closely before buying this product, because there is a 1-star review from another customer using this pump with the Oasis laundry detergent that reported it as dripping badly. Mine does, too. ALOT! After each pump I have to put something under the pump to catch the 10 or so drips. Maybe this pump works with something of a thicker consistency, but for a liquid laundry soap, the pump action works fine, but after the pump it drips and drips many times. How hard is it to create a pump that works?!?! Frustrating and not really worth the trouble of returning a <$10 product.

I bought these for gallon jugs of epoxy parts A and B. It is almost impossible to get the thicker part A out of, the thinner part B is easy. They are really sturdy looking pumps, but not designed for a thick and sticky material. One other thing I noticed is that even when you’re done pumping there are droplets that drip from the spout and it has not stopped. I’m not sure if it would be different with a lotion, but with liquid it has become annoying. I’ve had to set up plastic cups to catch the drips.

I purchased this for my Charlie's Soap liquid laundry detergent. Since the gallon jug is a little cumbersome and the instructions say to use 1 oz for a load of wash, I bought the pump so I could pump it into a small cup and pour it in the washer, and not have to lift the jug and try to pour 1 oz. The pump fits nicely on the gallon jug but the detergent continues to drip several drops (even sometimes runs) out of the pump afterwards. Charlie's soap detergent is not cheap, so I do think about how much $ is being wasted with each pump. Not to mention that it makes a mess wherever it is sitting. The soap is very watery thin, so it may be that a thicker liquid wouldn't do this. But I don't know because I've only used it for the soap. I would probably not recommend this pump. From my experience and many others, I'd say keep looking for one that doesn't leak so money isn't wasted with each use.
