• Applications:

  • Residential water dispensers
  • Office water coolers
  • Emergency water storage

  Pros:

  • Affordable and widely available.
  • Simple to use—no electronics or maintenance required.
  • Recyclable (if made from HDPE/PP).

    • Choose a standard plastic cap if:
      • You need a low-cost, reliable sealing solution.
      • You prefer simplicity over smart features.
    • Choose a smart cap if:
      • You want to track hydration, automate maintenance, or improve health habits.
