How much does Dish Pump hold?
✓ Capacity
Holds 500 ml. Fill it with Dishwashing Liquid and refill whenever it runs low.
✓ Built for the long run
Dish Pump is designed for use with Dishwashing Liquid. The pump mechanism is rated for around 3,000 presses.
How do I fill it?
✓ Three steps
Remove the pump head from the bottle.
Pour Dishwashing Liquid into the bottle, leaving a little headspace at the top.
Put the pump head back on, then prime it with a few presses if it has run completely dry.
⚠ Do not overfill
Leave a little headspace at the top. Filling to the very brim means the liquid overflows when you refit the pump head and the straw displaces it.
