A system for protecting a vent membrane from a liquid, the system comprising: a container having an interior volume and an opening ; a fitment adapted to seat in the opening of the container , the fitment having a center opening and a perimeter; a vent associated with the fitment and including the vent membrane ; an elongated dip tube extending from the center opening of the fitment to the interior volume of the container ; characterized in that the system further comprises a splash guard disposed within the interior volume of the container adjacent the fitment to allow venting of the container while blocking liquid from contacting the vent membrane , wherein the splash guard comprises: (a) an upper surface opposite a planar lower surface , the upper surface being proximate to the fitment ; (b) an aperture extending from the upper surface to the lower surface , the aperture adapted to connect to the elongated dip tube ; and (c) a perimeter substantially contoured to the perimeter of the fitment , and wherein the splash guard further comprises: a plurality of ridges associated with the upper surface and radially extending from the aperture to the perimeter, each of the plurality of ridges having a top surface and opposing side surfaces ; and wherein the plurality of ridges is adapted to create separation between the upper surface of the splash guard and the fitment to permit air to escape through the vent membrane . a container having an interior volume and an opening ; a fitment adapted to seat in the opening of the container , the fitment having a center opening and a perimeter; a vent associated with the fitment and including the vent membrane ; an elongated dip tube extending from the center opening of the fitment to the interior volume of the container ; characterized in that the system further comprises a splash guard disposed within the interior volume of the container adjacent the fitment to allow venting of the container while blocking liquid from contacting the vent membrane , wherein the splash guard comprises: (a) an upper surface opposite a planar lower surface , the upper surface being proximate to the fitment ; (b) an aperture extending from the upper surface to the lower surface , the aperture adapted to connect to the elongated dip tube ; and (c) a perimeter substantially contoured to the perimeter of the fitment , and wherein the splash guard further comprises: a plurality of ridges associated with the upper surface and radially extending from the aperture to the perimeter, each of the plurality of ridges having a top surface and opposing side surfaces ; and wherein the plurality of ridges is adapted to create separation between the upper surface of the splash guard and the fitment to permit air to escape through the vent membrane . (a) an upper surface opposite a planar lower surface , the upper surface being proximate to the fitment ; (b) an aperture extending from the upper surface to the lower surface , the aperture adapted to connect to the elongated dip tube ; and (c) a perimeter substantially contoured to the perimeter of the fitment , and wherein the splash guard further comprises: a plurality of ridges associated with the upper surface and radially extending from the aperture to the perimeter, each of the plurality of ridges having a top surface and opposing side surfaces ; and wherein the plurality of ridges is adapted to create separation between the upper surface of the splash guard and the fitment to permit air to escape through the vent membrane . a plurality of ridges associated with the upper surface and radially extending from the aperture to the perimeter, each of the plurality of ridges having a top surface and opposing side surfaces ; and wherein the plurality of ridges is adapted to create separation between the upper surface of the splash guard and the fitment to permit air to escape through the vent membrane . <EOS>
