You could put a bottle next to the fridge and insert the tube from the pump into it and see if it will self prime but failing that you may have to elevate the 5 gallon bottle to at least the elevation of the top of the fridge and then figure out someway to "tap" the water cap to connect the tube from the fridge. Conversley, you could buy a normal water cooler stand and fabricate a stand for it and connect the spigot somehow to the tube from the pump(with maybe surgical tube or something).

I think that link from Domincan Boy about the water filter is very nice. The drinking straw has potential to save lives.

She's referring to Presidente. The big "P" in the name, the tiny "p" is hidden elsewhere on the label to prove that it's not counterfeit. scrutinize carefully your next bottle of Presidente, you'll find it.

A small auxilliary pump is needed to use the 5 gal. bottle with a refrigerator ice maker.
We did hook ours up in JD but it was too much of a pain in the butt with our 'plentiful' electrical supply!
Now I have an automatic ice maker that is suberb and provides an never ending supply of ice! Her name is Adalisa!:P

Is the water shortage over now that Campesino has found the little 'p' on the Presidente bottle?

THERE IS A SMALL PUMP MADE BY FLOJET THAT SELLS FOR ABOUT $125.00
HAS A TUBE TO GO TO BOTTOM OF JUG, HAS ALL KIND OF PROTECTION, AND IT WORKS FINE FOR WATER OR ICE FROM FRIDGE,
