Any of y’all that have a dish washing soap dispenser at the kitchen sink? Well our new place has one, the bottle holds about a pint. Saw a hack somewhere that you remove the bottle that screws on too the pump, attach a 3/8” hose too the pump. Run the hose down into a half gallon jug of detergent. I trimmed of the nozzle on the cap, used a 1/2” drill bit to make a hole in the cap. Put the cap on the bottle. Attached the hose too the pump, ran the hose down through the cap and intoo the bottle of the detergent bottle.
That should last about 4-6 months instead of the 3-4 weeks the pint jug lasted. Lowe’s an Home Depot carry the clear plastic tubing in a 10’ length for a few bucks. The 3/8” hose will slide over the pump tube, you can manipulate the hose opening too go over the whole pump tube so you won’t need any clamps too secure it.
Takes about 10 minutes too completely do it. Just gotta get the wife too clean everything out from underneath the sink 😂😂😂

I wonder if you used a smaller diameter hose...like the ones you would use for air stones in freshwater aquariums, if it would hold the prime better?
3/8” ID is what’s needed too slide over the existing pump tube. Smaller dia. Might mess with volume delivery.
