Bottled water gallons have become the main choice for many households for their daily drinking water needs. With its large capacity and practicality, water gallons ensure the availability of clean water that is safe to consume at any time. Bottled water gallons are also often chosen because the production process goes through various stages of filtration and sterilization to ensure water quality that is free from harmful contaminants.
One of the interesting innovations in the design of water gallons is the addition of a tap to make it easier to take water. The tap attached to the gallon provides extra convenience, especially for children and the elderly who may have difficulty lifting a heavy gallon. With the tap, users only need to turn the lever to release water, making this process much more practical and convenient.
The presence of a tap also reduces the risk of water spilling which often occurs when the gallon has to be lifted and turned over. The innovation of the tap on the water gallon also helps maintain the cleanliness of the water in it. With a tap, users do not need to open the lid of the gallon which could be contaminated by hands or the surrounding environment. The water remains in a tightly sealed container, reducing the chance of dust, dirt or bacteria entering.
But even though it has various advantages, the presence of a tap on this gallon sometimes presents its own challenges for its users. The reason is, in some cases, the tap used can actually get clogged and make the water in the gallon unable to flow out. If that happens, many people then immediately drain the gallon to check the problem with the tap from the inside.
In fact, to overcome this, you don't need to immediately drain the gallon of water. There is a simple trick that can be done to make the tap water flow smoothly again. This trick was once shared by YouTube user Focus Method through one of the videos he uploaded. He admitted that he only used one kitchen tool to make the tap water flow smoothly again.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Focus Method on Saturday (14/9), the kitchen utensil in question is a fork. Yes, you only need to prepare a fork if you want to overcome the gallon's crusty water flowing smoothly again. However, it is better to use a sturdy fork made of stainless steel so that this trick can work.

So the way, take a fork, then stick the sharp end into the gallon cap. When stabbed, the fork will make a hole in the gallon cap. However, if you feel the gallon cap is thick and hard enough, you can use a sharper fork or even a knife. "The purpose of this method is so that air can go in and out," said YouTube Focus Method.

In the video, YouTube user Focus Method shows the tap on the gallon. When opened, the tap releases water very smoothly. Previously, the tap was completely clogged and did not release any water at all. This indicates that the trick of making a hole in the gallon lid can successfully make the tap water flow smoothly again.
