The Dial Spring Water Foaming Refill 2-pack is a value-oriented choice for home hygiene. Each 52 oz bottle is designed to refill multiple smaller dispensers, significantly reducing the amount of plastic waste in your home. The formula uses Benzalkonium Chloride as the active agent, which is non-corrosive and works well with most thermoplastic pump mechanisms found in modern foaming dispensers.
Build Quality & Usability
The frame of the bottle feels sturdy and is built to handle the weight of 52 oz of liquid. However, because the bottle lacks a side handle, it is most stable when poured with two hands to avoid slipping.
Specifications show that this specific "Spring Water" variant contains a blue-tinted dye. If you use clear dispensers and leave the soap stagnant for more than 45 days, it may leave a slight blue tint on the reservoir walls. The formula's glycerin-to-water ratio is specifically calibrated for Dial pumps; if you use it in other brands, you may notice a slight difference in the "thickness" of the foam, but it generally performs well across most air-induction models.
For best results, this refill should be used as-is. Adding tap water—especially if you have hard water—can cause a reaction with the formula that leads to nozzle clogging or a watery lather. The scent is a traditional "clean" fragrance that is effective at neutralizing other odors on the hands after cooking or cleaning.
If you find that the 52 oz bottles are still a bit large for your storage space, the Method Waterfall 28 oz pouches are much more compact. To keep these large bottles organized under your sink, check out the plastic cabinet bins with handles in our catalog.
