What pump works with Koh Hand Wash and Body Wash?Updated 21 minutes ago

TL;DR: Sensitive Hand Wash and Sensitive Body Wash are decanted into a standard press pump. The dedicated Hand Wash Pump and Body Wash Pump are the right fit, dispensing 2 ml per press. Foaming pumps, the Koh Foaming Spray Bottle and other Koh pumps aren't compatible.

Which pump do I need?

Sensitive Hand Wash uses the Hand Wash Pump and Sensitive Body Wash uses the Body Wash Pump. Both are standard press pumps dispensing 2 ml per press. Any standard non-foaming press pump with the right dip tube length works too. Foaming pumps don't.

Both bottles dispense 2 ml per press. The dedicated pumps are built for the personal care bottle format, and each one is designed for long-term repeated use.

Using your own bottle? Check it's a press-to-dispense style rather than foaming, and that the dip tube reaches the bottom of the bottle.

Will my existing pump work?

Foaming pumps aren't compatible with Koh Hand Wash or Body Wash. A foaming head needs a thin, low viscosity liquid to aerate, and both washes are richer than that. The Koh Foaming Spray Bottle is a trigger spray tool for cleaning products, not a hand pump. Koh Laundry Pump and Dish Pump have dip tubes sized for other bottles.

⚠ These won't work with Hand Wash or Body Wash

Foaming hand pumps need a thin, watery liquid to aerate. Hand Wash and Body Wash are richer formulas and won't dispense properly through a foaming mechanism.

Koh Foaming Spray Bottle is a trigger spray tool for cleaning products. It isn't a hand pump and it isn't designed for personal care use.

Koh Laundry Pump and Koh Dish Pump are built for a different bottle shape and size. The dip tube length and the neck won't fit the personal care bottle.

How do I refill and prime the pump?

Refill the pump bottle straight from the refill box. Open the tap, hold the bottle steady and stop short of the neck so it doesn't overfill. Screw the head back on, twist the collar beneath the nozzle to unlock it, then press several full pumps until product flows. A freshly refilled bottle always needs priming.

Refills come straight from the refill box. No dilution, no measuring.

1

Open the tap on the refill box

Sit the box on the edge of a bench so the tap clears the surface.

2

Hold the bottle steady and fill to just below the neck

Leaving a little headroom stops the pump head pushing product out when you screw it back on.

3

Twist the collar beneath the nozzle to unlock

New pumps arrive locked so they don't leak in transit.

4

Press several full pumps until product flows

A new or freshly refilled bottle needs priming before the first proper dose.
