Full details

Its shatterproof polycarbonate construction provides the aesthetic appeal of glass without the risk of breakage, making it an excellent choice for both indoor dining and high-traffic outdoor areas.

FAQs
Is this jug made of real glass?
No, it is made from high-quality, durable polycarbonate which is a type of plastic that looks like glass but is shatterproof.
Can I put hot drinks in this jug?
The jug is designed for cold or room-temperature liquids. It is not recommended for boiling water or extremely hot beverages.
Will this break if dropped on a concrete floor?
The polycarbonate construction is highly impact-resistant and is designed specifically to survive drops that would shatter a glass jug.
How many glasses can I pour from a 0.9L jug?
It typically serves 3 to 4 standard 250ml glasses, depending on the volume of ice used.
Can I use this for carbonated drinks?
Yes, it is perfectly safe for sodas, sparkling water, or beer, though the carbonation will dissipate as it would in any open-top vessel.
Troubleshooting
Cloudy appearance after multiple washes
This is often due to hard water deposits or the use of improper detergent; consider using a rinse aid or a mild citric acid-based cleaner to restore clarity.
Visible surface scratches
Ensure staff are not using abrasive scrubbing pads; switch to soft-touch cleaning implements to prevent further scratching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required; the jug is ready for immediate use upon arrival. To ensure the longevity of the Olympia Kristallon jug, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Always use soft sponges or microfiber cloths. Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads that will dull the clear finish.
- Dishwashing: Place in a commercial glasswasher as directed. Ensure the jug is positioned securely so it does not rattle against other items during the cycle.
- Temperature: While durable, the jug is designed for cold or room-temperature beverages. Avoid using it for boiling liquids.
- Storage: Stackable designs allow for efficient storage in tight bar service areas, but be mindful not to force them together to prevent wedging.
