What is the spike that goes into the bottle?
Our models feature a piercing valve as part of the bottle support collar, providing added convenience for water bottle installation. Depending on the water bottle supplier, a small opening may or may not be present in the bottle cap for this specific purpose. If the piercing valve opening is not present, the entire bottle cap must then be removed to eliminate possible damage to the piercing valve. If the opening is present, remove the protective seal prior to installing the bottle. Please consult the Owner’s Manual for further information regarding water bottle installation.
