Below are the instructions for Oliver's Bottle Rinser, here are some pictures of how the finished rinser looks.



  • Buy one of the flexible hoses with a rose attached to one end and a rubber fitting on the other to put over a tap. They are usually used for rinsing hair over a bath or sink. Cut off the shower head end.
  • Obtain a piece of copper pipe about 30cm to 40cm (12” to 16”) long. Bend it into a U shape to form a base, then bend one end upwards until it is vertical. Be careful, as copper is easy to crimp. It should stand about 15cm (6”) tall.
  • Attach to copper pipe to the hose. I cut off the ribbed bit of plastic from the shower head fitting and used that on the inside to help join them, then wrapped it well with electrical insulation tape, which is flexible and doesn't seem to be affected by water.
  • To use, put it in a sink and attach the hose to a tap. Place a bottle over the end of the copper pipe and turn on the tap. Give it a good rinse.
  • It might be necessary to crimp the end of the copper pipe together slightly to get a good jet of water.
Great idea I thought.
