Question:

the lid does not fit on my 8 gal wc. The inner ring is to big to fit the cooler. It is alsoway to big for an 8 gal crock. Did RW make different size 8′s ? See pictures of both.

Answer:

Ken, the photo of the Red Wing water coolers that you send me are the old hand turned coolers.  These coolers use the button lids and not the bar handle lids.  Because these coolers are hand turned and not molded, all lids and openings need to be measured to make sure the button lid fits that cooler as they are all a little different in size.  Now on the molded coolers (those Red Wing water coolers with the gallon-age number on the outside) the bar handle lids with the 8 & 10 should fit both coolers.   Hope this helps.
