So I have this in-counter soap dispenser in the kitchen and in the bathroom. It worked fine for about 6 months. Then, after pulling the pump out to refill it, it would not dispense any soap. PITA. What to do?
I was puttering around on Amazon and found this soap dispenser:
There is a review for it that talks about a product called: Never-MT that replaces the soap bottle under the sink with a hose that goes into a large refill bottle of hand soap. It looks like this:
3 feet of hose - with a check valve, and various sizes of pre-drilled caps. Super-simple. It works like a charm!
Note: It does not work with all brands of soap dispensers. YMMV
I'll run through the instructions - sans photos (didn't take any)
1) install the base of the soap dispenser in the counter. Do not screw the soap bottle that come with the dispenser onto it.
2) from the Never-MT kit, screw the cap that fits your refill bottle of soap onto the refill bottle of soap.
3) slide the remaining caps from the Never-MT kit onto the long section of hose. This is a good way to store them to be used in the future.
4) slide the short end of the hose beneath the counter and up through the base of the soap dispenser. Secure it from falling back down into the counter.
5) heat water to be used to warm up the short length of hose to make it easier to slide the short end of the hose onto the dispenser pump.
6) place the last inch or so of the short end of the hose into the hot water. Let it soak for a minute or so.
7) slide the short end of the hose onto the bottom of the dispenser pump. Push it all the way on. I did not even bother to install the straw onto the bottom of the dispenser pump. It was easier to not use the straw.
๐ install the dispenser pump into the dispenser base.
9) install the long end of the hose through the 3/8 inch hole in the cap on your bottle of refill soap. Slide the hose to the bottom of the bottle. Adjust the spare caps higher up on the hose as needed.
10) pump the dispenser 250 to 350 times - until soap dispenses.
I did all of the above. The way my sinks are set up I don't have to worry about securing the refill bottle from tipping in transit. You may need to secure the soap refill bottle.
This is awesome! No more *groan* bending over and looking up under the counter to see if the bottle needs refilling. I just look at the refill bottle and swap it out just before the hose starts sucking air.
