Liquid containers with taps
I have quite a few containers which contains the car cleaning products, like snow foam, shampoo, wheel cleaner etc. They all come in 4 litre containers but is a bit of a pain to fill the bottles I actually use from those.
I had a look but cannot see good containers (4 / 5 litres capacity) with a tap on it so they can lay down and use to fill the bottles I use. Anything I have seen either is the container or are the taps, but not in combination and when mixing taps with different make containers I often see that they leak even if they both state a 38 mm thread.
Has anone found a good set that works?

Is it worth simply paying someone young, without the shaky hands, to decant them for you.

Buy a funnel.

On a more sensible tack, I just googled a few options, but I suspect your main issue may be that the thicker products may not flow through a tap anyway?

I use a funnel at the moment but that means I have to clean it out every time and is just a pain.
The liquid is quite liquidy so I think the taps are fine to go through, just need the right combo of stackable containers - or at least those that can lay on their side fine.

That looks good but is rather expensive though, the non food grade ones seem to be around £10 for 4 bottles, and the taps seem to be around the same for 3. I have seen detailers use the taps on the bottles but reviews online for the taps so often mention leaking that I would like to get the combo from the same company rather than mix and matchsars wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 6:04 pm How about this?

That's easy, just use words with less than five letters, if you must use more, take letters out, like the h in weel

I use top-mounted pumps on the 5L containers - no worries about leaks other than the occasional drip from the end of the nozzle

Perry - do you use that to refill a shampoo bottle (500 ml) as well or only for small quantity use?

Wine boxes? They're effectively free if the wine's any good!

For some things that need diluting e.g. snowfoam, I pump it direct into the snowfoam bottle then add water. For others, such as quick detailing spray, I pump into a smaller 400-500ml trigger spray bottle (not sure of the exact size as I bought several along with chemical-rated spray heads). They pump out 25-30ml per press so it's a fairly fast process.
If I had a 5L car shampoo, I'd probably just pump some into the bucket before adding hot water rather than bother filling up a smaller bottle and then squirting that into the bucket.

Trust an engineer to over-complicate things with technical terms - a couple of good old English adjectives that even Pondy would understand are 'runny' or 'watery'
