## How to Make Dispensers Shoot Water
Dispensers are useful for storing and dispensing liquids, but they can also be used to create a fun and refreshing water feature. By following these simple steps, you can make your own water-shooting dispenser.
### Materials
Dispenser
Water source
Tubing
Pump
Switch
Battery
### Instructions
1. Gather your materials. You will need a dispenser, a water source, tubing, a pump, a switch, and a battery.
2. Prepare the dispenser. Remove the lid from the dispenser and set it aside. Drill a hole in the bottom of the dispenser, large enough to fit the tubing.
3. Attach the tubing. Cut a length of tubing to fit from the water source to the hole in the dispenser. Insert one end of the tubing into the hole in the dispenser and secure it with a clamp.
4. Install the pump. Connect the other end of the tubing to the pump. The pump should be placed in a location where it will be submerged in water.
5. Wire the switch. Connect the switch to the pump. The switch will turn the pump on and off.
6. Connect the battery. Connect the battery to the switch. The battery will power the pump.
7. Test the dispenser. Turn on the switch and see if the dispenser is shooting water. If it is not, check the connections and make sure that the pump is submerged in water.
### Tips
Use a clear dispenser so that you can see the water shooting out.
Add food coloring to the water to make it more colorful.
Use a variety of nozzles to create different water effects.
Place the dispenser in a safe location where people will not be injured by the water.
### Troubleshooting
If the dispenser is not shooting water, check the following:
Make sure that the pump is submerged in water.
Make sure that the tubing is not kinked or blocked.
Make sure that the switch is turned on.
Make sure that the battery is connected.
If the dispenser is shooting water but it is not coming out of the nozzle, check the following:
Make sure that the nozzle is not clogged.
Make sure that the nozzle is pointed in the correct direction.
## Conclusion
