Re: New Member (wait list!)

Yes - the jerry cans are made by Dinuba Water and the spigot is sold on Amazon as "Beverage Dispenser Replacement Spigot,Oak Leaf Stainless Steel Polished Finished, Dispenser Replacement Faucet". I also experimented with several designs for security before coming up with a really good one....
