These things really are a waste of money, and more damaging to the environment, than a bar of soap. There is no conclusive evidence that bar soap is any worse than the pump soap, and by buying these contraptions you have the plastic refils and batteries.
A bar of soap is in a simple paper wrapper, and in hospitals they use both liquid soap and alcohol liquid, as no soap is 100% effective.
It's is far more important to wash properly, there is a correct way to do so.

Refil Technique
Sorry if posted before, but couldn't trawl through 19 pages.
I drilled through the top of the refil bottle (as shown on Youtube - search Lycol hack or Lycol refil) very easy, but make sure and wedge the bottle carefully to stop it from slipping - i wedged mine between the handles of the drill box.
Then I found an icing gun nozzle that fitted the hole perfectly and you can either fill directly into the nozzle or fill up the icing gun (but then you've got to make sure it's really cleaned afterwards) which is much faster and less chance of spills.
Looks absolutely fine and neat. I guess if I wanted to be ultra perfectionist about it, you could drill into the top reverse side of the bottle, so you wouldn't see the refill holes, but the above worked well and didn't cost the extra of funnels / squeezy bottles etc.
