Better selection of conditions
Check the metal cage:
Look for cracks in the welds
Make sure it sits square on the pallet
Avoid cages with bent or missing bars
Examine the plastic bottle:
No bulges or deep scratches
Should feel firm when you press on it
Light scratches are normal and okay
Test the valve:
Should open and close smoothly
Must seal completely when closed
Replace if it leaks (valves cost $15-25)
Smell test:
Slight plastic smell is normal
Strong chemical odors mean poor cleaning
Sweet smells might indicate food residue
