if you put a golf tee in the hole you can pull that in and out to adjust how much water comes out too.

Good idea! probably best for a bigger bottle with a bigger hole. I just have a small bottle out where I see to my chickens - with a tiny hole that gives out just enough water to rinse my hands when I am done
