Anybody using the Never-MT soap dispenser system?
I am thinking of purchasing the following soap dispenser that uses the
Never-MT conversion kit. I found it in the archives of this news group. Looks pretty cool. http://store.yahoo.com/custominserts...soandlodi.html I am interested in comments from any owners that have purchased this system and had time to use it. Not too keen on paying 35 bucks for a soap dispenser. However if it is well made and works without clogging, heck why not. Thanks, -pgg |

I get the gallon size dish detergent from Costco and only have had to change it once. The system works fine and has never clogged. The only down side is that the pump has a lot more resistance since it is lifting the liquid from the bottom of the sink cabinet instead of from the reservoir of the dispenser. Therefore, the pump doesn't return instantly to the ready position and it takes a couple of seconds before you can get another dose of detergent. I think I will see if I can take the pump apart and replace the spring with a stronger one. Also, the diameter of the tubing will not fit on every pump. I needed to replace my pump because the finish was flaking off. The first replacement I bought didn't work with the kit, the tube was too small in diameter. I found another one (very cheap) at Home Depot that worked but as I mentioned, the spring needs to be stronger to allow for a rapid sequence of pulses. |
Diluting the soap in the container with some water makes it much easier to
pump. "Vox Humana" > wrote in message ... > > "speedygg" > wrote in message > ... >> I am thinking of purchasing the following soap dispenser that uses the >> Never-MT conversion kit.

You can buy just the conversion tube assembly from Custom Inserts for $6.95. Find it at http://www.custominserts.com/nevermt.html . I have four Never-MT kits, two on each sink. One handles dish detergent, the other hand soap. I use gallon jugs of each liquid. For the detergent, I use the Smart N Final blue stuff (like Dawn). I don't dilute. They've been working flawlessly for almost two years. -- - rick http://www.cfcl.com/~rick/ Rick Auricchio Macs Only: Macintosh support I acknowledge the existence of a higher power, and have therefore installed surge suppressors. |

However we have the template person coming in about 2 weeks and we will need to decide how may holes to drill for undermount sink. Regarding having 2 soap dispensers installed by the sink, my wife was concerned that we would get confused as to which is hand soap vs detergent. I am at the point where I really don't give a damn, however I suppose we could get 2 different color handles to distinguish. |

I have two dispensers on my sink; one with dish soap and one with hand soap. Both dispensers are the same. We put the one with dish soap on the side that we usually wash the dishes in and the hand soap on the other side. Every once in a while I do end up washing my hands with the dish soap LOL. |

The detergent ones are black. It's especially useful when friends are over for a cooking/dining evening. I neglected to mention that my Never-MT kits are attached to Moen dispensers. -- - rick http://www.cfcl.com/~rick/ Rick Auricchio Macs Only: Macintosh support I acknowledge the existence of a higher power, and have therefore installed surge suppressors. |

But long-term use of detergent may dry your skin. I also find that I can use less of the lotion-soap product than the detergent for my hands. -- - rick http://www.cfcl.com/~rick/ Rick Auricchio Macs Only: Macintosh support I acknowledge the existence of a higher power, and have therefore installed surge suppressors. |
All done. Bought 2 soap dispensors (same color) and will probably
place one on each side. Opted against different color dispensers given that I would still have to explain to guest which one is soap vs detergent. I think I will use the dispensers with bottle for a while first to see how big a chore it is to refill. The dispensers I bought allow you to fill from top. We can always buy the Never-MT later if need be. Thanks a lot for all the input. Rick Auricchio > wrote in message > I have four Never-MT kits, two on each sink.

We can always buy the Never-MT later if need be. Many of the dispensers have an 8-ounce bottle. Though a fill would probably last for several weeks, I just didn't want to fill from the top. An overflow while pouring from the gallon would be a real mess. Washing soap off the counter could take forever! -- - rick http://www.cfcl.com/~rick/ Rick Auricchio Macs Only: Macintosh support I acknowledge the existence of a higher power, and have therefore installed surge suppressors. |
