Looking for help/specific product. If you have experience with those 5 gallon (20 L) water jugs that go on dispensers, typically upside down, do you have a good, reliable way to seal them for refilling yourself such that they don't make a giant mess when you have to invert them? The internet is full of sketchy looking lids that don't seem like they would work so I'm hoping to crowd source a specific "buy this you won't regret it".

@SRLevine The only way to do that is to buy the wasteful little one use plastic seals. When that water cooler dies I suggest replacing it with a version with a pump, where the water jug sits right side up inside the machine. Been sanitizing and refilling with RO from my sink for years

@SRLevine You can pay to refill the bottles at our Whole Foods ( or at least you could at some point) this make me think such lids exist. I’ll check next time I’m there if you haven’t found a solution.
