Active Aqua Spigot for 5 & 6 Gallon Carboy Containers

Dispense From Carboy Jugs Without the Mess

Pouring nutrient solution or runoff straight from a heavy carboy jug is awkward and prone to spills, especially when the container is nearly full or the pour needs to be measured.

The Active Aqua Spigot threads directly into the pre-threaded cap of standard 5- and 6-gallon carboy-style jugs, turning an ordinary container into a controlled-dispense reservoir without any drilling or modification.

Because it fits the widely used standard thread pattern found on multiple brands of carboy caps, it drops into containers growers likely already have on hand rather than locking them into a single proprietary system.

Key Features & Benefits

• Threads directly into standard carboy caps — installs in seconds on pre-threaded 5- and 6-gallon jug caps with no drilling, cutting, or adapters required.
• Fits multiple brands — works across the common carboy-style containers already in use in many grow spaces, rather than requiring a specific proprietary jug.
• Controlled, drip-reducing dispensing — makes it easier to pour measured amounts of nutrient solution or water without sloshing or spilling from a heavy, hard-to-tip container.
• Compact, low-profile design — stays out of the way during storage and transport and doesn't add meaningful bulk to the container.
• Simple, durable construction — holds up to repeated daily use in busy hydroponic and reservoir-refill routines without becoming the weak point in the setup.

Who Should Use the Active Aqua Carboy Spigot

This spigot fits hydroponic growers, reservoir-refill routines, and anyone using 5- or 6-gallon carboy-style jugs to mix, store, or transport nutrient solution or water. It's a practical upgrade for growers who currently tip and pour directly from the jug and want a faster, more controlled way to dispense without buying a new container.

Container Compatibility

This spigot is built for standard 5- and 6-gallon carboy-style jugs that use a pre-threaded spigot cap, and it's designed to fit multiple brands sharing that common thread pattern. Before ordering, confirm that your existing jug uses a pre-threaded cap rather than a plain screw cap, since the spigot threads into that fitting rather than replacing the entire cap assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this spigot fit my carboy jug?

It's designed to thread into the standard pre-threaded spigot cap found on common 5- and 6-gallon carboy-style jugs across multiple brands. Check that your jug's cap has these pre-threaded fittings, since the spigot installs into that thread pattern rather than replacing the cap outright.

Do I need any tools or adapters to install it?

No — it threads directly into the pre-threaded cap by hand. There's no drilling, cutting, or separate adapter required for compatible containers.

Can I use this for both nutrient solution and plain water?

Yes. Growers commonly use it to dispense nutrient solution, plain water, or runoff from their carboy containers — it's a general-purpose dispensing fitting rather than one limited to a single liquid type.

Does it come with the jug, or is it sold separately?

It's sold separately as a fitting that installs onto a carboy jug you already have (or plan to buy elsewhere), giving you a controlled-dispense option without purchasing a new specialty container.
