    I am trying to look out for those empty pump dispensers to DIY my own ferts using the powder type. Where do you think I can get them?
    Anyone has any idea?

    You might want to try Daiso.

    I didn't as it was too crowded. However, I did scour the whole place so I am pretty sure I did not leave any section unchecked. Any other places to find this then? Muji... seems pretty expensive

    Were you at Daiso Vivocity? Not every Daiso carries the same items.

    For the Vivocity one, based on when I was there last week, if you walk straight all the way to the end and turn right, the bottles will be at the side shelves on your left hand side.

    I'm actually going down tonight to get some more. If you want some PM me how many you need and what size (I think they come in 250ml and 500ml sizes) and I can help you buy first. Based on your "Location" data (Bukit Merah), we should live pretty close by and shouldn't be hard to pass it to you. At most we can meet up at Fishy Business

    Yes I got mine from Daiso as well. I got mine from Sembawang side. They are usually in a rack with all these different kinds of pump, with various sizes and patterns. I bought a squarish 600ml one which looks quite cool. It should be near the bathing accessories department.

    Hi all, do they state how much volume (eg. 1ml) per pump for the bottles?

    No they do not. The pumps I have range from 1.2 to 1.7ml per press. You can measure it after you have bought it by weighing the water squirt out by the pump after 1 press. This is assuming that density of water is 1kg/m3.

    I have used shampoo dispensers, daiso dispensers, medicine dispensers.

    All works fine. wash them thoroughly first though.

    pump 10 times. measure the output volume.. then divide by 10 to get an approx. volume.

    Aiyah... Illumnae. I should have checked earlier. I went down to Imm daisy and they didn't have. If I saw this earlier I would have asked you to buy for me. Damn... I ll go down Vivo again then to check it out.

    Vivo confirm have, but location has changed from last week. As you enter follow the path and turn left at the Travel section opposite the cashiers. Left a lot of 200ml blue and pink, and 300ml white bottles. Also got 2 1100ml white bottles left. All 500ml white bottles out of stock. This is accurate as of 830pm today

    Re: Pump Bottle Dispenser (Empty) For DIY Ferts

    Update:
    I decided not to scout around anymore. Bit the bullet and paid more for Muji bottles. I must say they are damn well made man
    A la ADA cum Borneo Wild stuff. Easy to do ferts now.
