the "Ahah" moment
Several years ago I tried to pour a very expensive automotive functional fluid into the fuel filler neck of my Jeep. It was one of those snake oil type fuel treatments that promise you the world. "Get like new performance if you use our product with every fill-up forever". Unfortunately, I clumsily spilled that magical mineral oil on the paint of my Jeep. While it did no permanent damage, it took way too much time to completely clean-up. I spilled about half the bottle trying to bridge the gap between tipping the bottle and successfully pouring the fluid it into the fuel filler. A funnel could not have helped because of the awkward angle and, as many will attest to, a funnel is an ungainly tool and too bulky to carry around.
So I began to think about the things I spill on a daily basis.
This experience led me to invent the iPour®. I knew it had to be inexpensive, compact, flexible, have memory, and be available to the masses.
The product needed to bridge the gap between bottle and receiver, as well as fit into tight spaces. We approached these constraints with three goals in mind: Firstly, to make the consumers life a little easier and more efficient. Second, it needs to effectively reduce harmful and expensive waste. Finally, it had to be able to make money. iPour is the elegant solution to these constraints.
Whether you are pouring fluids into your car, refilling household spray bottles, or pouring Bar and Chain lubricant into your chainsaw, iPour was created to help you get your fluid into, instead of on to where it needs to go.

The patented iPour® Spout & Overcap
is an innovative tool for dispensing and storing fluids in a safe and efficient manner with just two components: an extendable, flexible iPour Spout that is screwed onto a quart (or smaller) 28mm necked bottle to guide liquid from its container to a desired location and an Overcap that fits over the iPour Spout to seal excess product in the bottle after use without removing the Spout.
iPour is the perfect tool for dispensing fluids into your engine, not on it. Twist iPour on, Pull, Point and Pour, and then pop on the Overcap after you're done for safe and convenient storage. iPour is a simple solution to one of lifes little problems.
Our patented Spout and Overcap combination is an industry first due to its compact size and ability to accommodate
a number of existing or custom Overcap possibilities. Our system allows us to sell in bulk for OEM clients, or individually at retail.
iPour® can be customized to almost any color, and embossed with most logos and sized specifically for your need.
Our introductory Quart (and smaller) size is available now with two new sizes in the works.
So, whether you screw iPour® on during the filling process, hang iPour® on pack or include iPour® in your package, iPour will separate your product from all the others by addinga fresh, compact, versatile, functional, and reuseable value.
iPour® is the compact, extendable, and flexible alternative to the funnel, but did you know that iPour is also flexible in how and where it can be sold?
iPours accessory uses are limited only by the creativity of those who use it. While our introductory size is targeted to functional fluids and lubricants, our future sizes will target OEMs in other segments and retail sales will enter into new territory uses.
Whether you are a do-it-yourselfer (DIY), arborist, landscaper or domestic engineer, iPour is the elegant, affordable, and versatile tool that is as comfortable in your Kitchen as it is in your garage.

iPour vision
The patented iPour Spout and Overcap is a unique twist-on, extendable, flexible, multi-directional pouring and resealing device. It is used to transfer fluids into engines, drains, fillers, refill size bottles and containers.
iPours patented design reduces messy or damaging splash back during the pouring process. The tapered tip fits smaller hard to reach openings, dramatically reducing the chance of potentially harmful and wasteful spills on your vehicle, household surface or the environment. The overcap reseals your product for use later.
The iPour Spout and Overcap is the most functional, compact, low cost, reusable and resealable alternative to conventional caps and funnels that fits thousands of OEM and retail product containers.
iPour value
The ultimate test of our success and longevity will rely on the combined abilities and efforts of our employees, investors, suppliers and partners to identify and address consumer needs by continually exercising our creativity and developing unique and synergistic products. We believe function should always be enhanced by form.
