Sometimes the surfactants, thickeners, etc. used in the soaps don't mix well and you get odd results when mixing different soaps. Just use as much of the soap as you can, dump the last few drops, and refill.
As for diluting a regular hand soap, it can work. If it foams up, it's probably doing a decent job of cleaning your hands. The thickening agent, though, will eventually gum up the internals of the pump.
I've been using this method with the same foaming soap dispenser that originally cost $1-2 for years.
I buy regular soap from Sam's @ $0.04/oz then dilute it to make the foaming soap and it comes out to <0.01/oz. A much better deal than this refil

Yep. Same. Now and then need to buy a small bottle for the dispenser is all

For reasons not needing explaining there's a basic flaw in the design of soap dispensers that require you to push down on the pump with one hand--especially if you have young children. Seems like a motion-sensitive foaming dispensers takes care of that issue, plus being foaming they use far less soap so no waste. But I'm not sure how effective and reliable these things are and was wondering if anyone has such a unit, or even this one.
Of course, to truly do this right you'd also need a motion-sensitive faucet.
I was curious about these and bought the cheapest that I could find to try out in early March. It's no longer available but looks similair. (Title was "Soap dispenser, Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser, wall mount;") I wasn't expecting much as it was $9.99 and came with an adhesive wall mount and charging cord (cable only). I was pleasantly surprised and purchased another for our main bathroom a week later.
We've had five people using them and all are still working, but they've been a little a quirky. The adhesive worked very well. I found that my wall was too far away and took the first down after a day and it took paint with it. This one works standing up, so we use them that way. Refilling and charging is a bit of a hassle because you have to take the top off to do both. The charging port is located under the lid so it's not useable when charging. However, I've found that they charge quickly and last a surprisingly long time. I've only had to charge at every other filling. As far as quirky, there have been a few times where they've stopped working and the lights just flashed and I've had to turn them off and on. This is what they do when the battery is low but resetting it fixed it when they did it when it was charged. There may be a valid reason they do this that I'm not aware of though, the instructions with it were just warnings not to submerge it and a drawing of it showing the tank. The real quirky part though is that they've gone off on their own a couple times after I've filled them. It didn't last long both times, but when turning them back on they randomly pumped with the last time being two or three minutes after.
Despite the oddities, they are still working after seven months and I'm happy with them. The one in our main bathroom gets a lot of use and is going strong. I'm most impressed with the battery life. For the price I would definitely buy them again. I got them with this soap and have been happy with both.

* Adding, I haven't used them with this soap so am unsure how they do.

So yeah, "antibacterial" is not needed in soap but at least it's not triclosan.
STOP BUYING ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP FFS!

I currently work in the business. There were two US manufacturers as of a couple years ago but one just moved to Mexico. We were recently bought by a larger US based company that specializes in closures and trigger sprays.
There is definitely inconsistencies using it with non-Dial branded bottles.
As for soap dilution ratio, 1:4 might be a little too much. I'd start with 1:7 and add more through trial and error.
Another tip: the massive bottles of Softsoap from Costco does not work well in dilution for foaming bottles.

Antibacterial soaps have the potential to create antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The reason that the FDA is making manufacturers prove these products' efficacy is because of a range of possible health risks associated with triclosan, and bacterial resistance is first on the list.
Heavy use of antibiotics can cause resistance, which results from a small subset of a bacteria population with a random mutation that allows it to survive exposure to the chemical. If that chemical is used frequently enough, it'll kill other bacteria, but allow this resistant subset to proliferate. If this happens on a broad enough scale, it can essentially render that chemical useless against the strain of bacteria.
This is currently a huge problem in medicine—the World Health Organization calls it a "threat to global health security." Some bacteria species (most notably, MRSA) have even acquired resistance to several different drugs, complicating efforts to control and treat infections as they spread. Health officials say that further research is needed before we can say that triclosan is fueling resistance, but several studies have hinted at the possibility.
