Question
Good evening, is there an issue if I filled cold water from a Tami 4 type cooler belonging to non-Jews (which also has an option for hot water and something else), and if not, is it permissible from the outset?
Answer
Hello,
I did not understand what you mean by 'a non-Jew's cooler'.
If you mean that the appliance belongs to a non-Jew, there is no issue, as a non-Jew's appliance does not require immersion.
If you mean an appliance made by a non-Jew and now owned by a Jew, it is forbidden to use without immersion, but if you have already filled the water in a cup, it is permitted to drink.
