My 4 arrived this morning. Stronger than expected. Very well built
OK... I've had a string of poorly-made gas and water containers... weeping at the seams, cheap caps (bordering on criminal... I mean REALLY! How hard is it to do?) I was very surprised at this water container! A few impressive things: 1) The cap is beefy with a nice o-ring on the seating surface. It tightens down by hand snugly and has lots of threads, so I didn't feel like I was going to strip the threads. 2) The spout is a simple affair, but is of the same sturdy material as the cap and it screws on to the inside of the cap for storage (so the cap is flush as pictured, for storage). You would think that this would be a simple idea, but I've got 2 CARB gas tanks in my garage that actually pump gas out of the tank if you try and store them pointing inside the tank! 3) The tops and bottoms are molded so that other Aqua Paks of the same size can lock in. They stack on top of each other nicely. I'm planning to stack them 2 deep and 2 high. 4) The material is BPA free (big, round stickers advertising this) 5) The material is a nice blue color that makes it very easy to see the water level inside. 6) The tops were mounted so that, if you store them with the cap facing up, the caps aren't underwater (less chance for leaking) 7) The material is thick and doesn't deform or bloat out at the middle when standing on its own. I stacked them 3 high when full (that's 40 lbs of water PER CONTAINER) and I saw a bit of bowing out in the middle of the lowest one. I'm not sure if I'd want that much stress on the lower container if I were storing it in a carpeted closet. The tower of 3 containers was also a bit tippy when standing on it's own (no support on any side) as the material does have some flex in it with that amount of weight stacked up. I'm not concerned at all about stacking 'em 2 high, but I don't think I'd go any higher. OK. So I bought these primarily for Earthquake / Disaster preparedness (keeping a 36 hour minimum supply of food/water on hand for the household - estimate 1 gal per person per day). Here's how I got 'em ready: 1) Fill 1/3 full with hot water and some Dawn dishwashing liquid 2) Rotate the valve to the outside (dispensing position) and seal it up. Shake like mad for 10 seconds. Watch the sides bow out as the air in the tank expands. Look quickly for leaks (I found none in my 4) and vent with the valve, running the soapy water out through the spout. Let sit, vented, for 5 minutes. Shake out as much soapy water as you can 3) Add 1/4 tank of warm water, shake, vent and drain through the valve. Remove cap and shake out as much water as you can 4) Repeat step 3 an additional 3 times. Now the next step depends on where you live. I live in the suburbs in the USA and get my water from a municipal supply (City water pipes). It is already treated with chlorine and all sorts of other things that will make the water safe for 6 months storage with no problems at all, so I simply filled the tanks as high as I could, capped 'em off and put 'em in a cool dark location that wouldn't freeze. If you have well water or have a municipal source that isn't so good, you might want to think about water treatment tablets for storage or using bleach (I think it is 8 drops of un-scented, plain chlorine bleach per gallon for long-term storage of 6 months, but please research that on your own). Don't forget to rotate! Water won't stay safe like this forever. My plan is to dump the water, rinse and refill every 6 months or so. I use the daylight savings time change for other things in our home (ex: New batteries go in to the smoke alarms every spring with the time change), so I'll probably pour the water out on to the flowers with every time change... at least get some use out of the water! My only suggestion for improvement is in the cap. When you put the tap into storage mode (stored facing inside the tank) and you put the cap on the can (again, in storage mode) you can see right down into the pipe leading to the valve. This is a surface that will be touching the water when you set the cap/faucet up for use. If you are storing these long-term in a dusty environment (your garage, for example) this surface is going to collect dust and dirt and it may contaminate your water. I took a piece of painters tape (1.4" wide) and covered this hole to keep out debris. The containers ship with a large sticker over the hole, so someone thought of this, but the sticker is useless after you install the tap the first time for cleaning. I wrote the refill date on the tape w/ a sharpie and stacked 'em up, feeling better that this aspect of our emergency kit was taken care of. ... show more

Excellent, BPA free storage container
I bought two of these 5-gallon water containers, in order to have drinking water handy if the power goes out. We have a well, so without electricity our pump doesn't work. I've got a couple of water-filled 55 gallon water barrels for extended power outages, but for a day or two these containers are just the right size. They would fit nicely in the truck for a camping trip, too. I really like that they are BPA-free, meaning there are no chemicals leaching into the water. Being food grade plastic, there also won't be any plastic-y taste to the water. These containers stack nicely, and the spiggot is stored inside the lid so it stays clean. They are rigid enough that they don't bulge outward when full, and the handles on both the top and the side mean it's easy to carry and move. There is also a removable plug to allow air to enter as you are dispensing, so no "glug glug" slowing down the flow. I bought an extra spiggot just in case something happens to one of the ones that came with the container. I haven't had any trouble with leaking around the gasketed lid, like I've read about some other containers. That also means no dirt will be entering the water while it's being stored. Overall I am very pleased with these containers and highly recommend them to people who want to keep some drinking water on hand. ... show more

Durable. Leak proof but still easy enough to use/pour
The biggest drawback is the bulk. You don't want to be lugging this around by hand over any decent distance. Similarly, it is is the same size (though much lighter) when empty. For many jobs I find the foldable or collapsible water container a better fit for the job as it can fit in more spaces and becomes ignorable when empty. However, this container seems like a better fit for long term storage or where you are worried about items sitting on top of the container or other jostling. Not worried about leaks but still relatively easy to use and pour out of. Spigot is easy to use and durable. ... show more

Very strong, no leaks, built-in spigot, good value.
This is a sturdy container suitable for long-term emergency/prepper water storage. It is strong and leak-proof with a very handy spigot designed into the cap. My only criticism is that there are no openings large enough to allow access inside the container for scrubbing by hand. That being said, I have not found a similar container by any other manufacturer that makes internal scrubbing and sanitizing easy. This would be a problem when there is no air conditioning. Mold, mildew, spores and bacteria grow very quickly on moist surfaces and in warm water. Therefore, I will run water stored in these through ceramic filters or boil it if possible before drinking. (I have lived through six hurricanes and one earthquake so I have experienced post-disaster living conditions). The manufacturer recommends rinsing with baking soda. I also let these sit overnight with a solution of cleaning vinegar (bleach is an option). Aside from the cleaning issue, these containers will perform a very critical job at a reasonable cost. I chose the 5-gallon size because it is the largest I can lift when filled. (Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon). I would recommend the Aqua-Paks and will buy more. ... show more

5 year guarantee
We have owned these containers for five years now, the length of the guarantee, and they are still perfect! Strong, stackable, no defects or problems. We are buying replacement lids now, because we figure the lids may have problems in a year or two. These containers are easy to wash out and sanitize. ... show more

Good, solid product
I plan to buy 8 of these, but I bought just one to see what kind of quality it had. There have been 3 situations within the past two years where friends or family had a need for emergency water at their homes and didn't have any. I went with the 5 gallon rather than the 7 gallon because 5 gallons of water is pretty heavy. This is part of my being prepared for a two-week emergency plan at my home. It has thick, high-quality, blue, see-through plastic so you can see the water level inside. It has a recessed handle so other containers (the same kind) can be easily stacked on top, making storage easier, and little ridges on top that will fit into the bottom of the container on top, making the stacking very secure (I only have one, so I haven't actually tested the stacking yet, but I can already tell it will work). The cap reverses and has a spigot so it can be turned on it's side to dispense water. I tested the spigot and it is water-tight. It also has a little vent plug near the back of the handle to create venting so the water can pour out easily. The vent plug is also water-tight. The labeling is not glued on so it comes off easily. I attached my own labels listing the contents and date of storage. The only thing I see that I wish it had was a long pouring spout such as one would find on a gasoline container. I also think a large funnel would come in handy both for filling it up and for pouring into another container. The spout hole is fairly standard sized, about 2-1/2 inches across. These are not drawbacks to the product, just things I will want to purchase to make it easier to use. I've only had it a few days, but I can see the quality is great and I anticipate many years of use out of this product. Recommend ... show more

A couple of easy tweaks make this 100% leak-proof.
As some other reviewers have mentioned there can be some issues with the cap/nozzle, however there are a couple of easy things that can be done to fix this. Problem: The cap itself can leak around the outside edge. Solution: Make sure the surface of the container mouth is smooth where it mates to the cap seal. On mine I noticed a slight leak around the cap even though the cap was fully tightened down (i.e. it stops on its own with a little pressure). I noticed that there were some rough spots and some plastic that should have been trimmed better on the mouth of the container, right where it mates with the seal in the cap. I simply smoothed these out with my knife (though sandpaper or similar would work too) and upon re-tightening it, it now seals perfectly. Problem: The nozzle does not aim straight down when the cap is on tight. Solution: Use a 212 Metric o-ring around the nozzle where it threads into the cap. I noticed the same problem on mine with the nozzle not lining up perfectly vertical so I added a 212 Metric o-ring around the base of the threads on the nozzle. This causes the nozzle to seat tightly without having to thread it in as much. Now I have 10-20 degrees play in where I can position the nozzle with it being 100% leak-proof over that whole range. UPDATE: Just finished a full week in the Shenandoah mtns in VA and not a single leak. Honestly I don't think I would have really wanted to carry the larger version of this when full multiple times a day. ... show more

Excellent Emergency Water Storage
Rushing to the supermarket to buy bottled water after a major earthquake or in the event of a quick home evac isn't really a viable strategy because, guess what, everyone else and their dog will be attempting to do the same thing. The alternative is to think ahead and buy some of these units so that you can be assured of an adequate supply of potable water in the event that your local utility has a temporary interruption of supply or if you have to make a hasty exit from your home because of a fire. Five gallons is easily carried by any healthy fit person and provides up to five days of water depending on environment and degree of exertion. They stack on top of each other so you can keep several in a closet or in the garage against a wall. The carry-handle makes it easy to transport from storage to car or kitchen, and the cap seals firmly. I don't much care for the screw-in tap but for me it's irrelevant as I just pour everything out of the open spout. For those who like dinky plastic taps, the fitting here may be a bit of a disappointment. If you live in a place where earthquake or fire is even a vague possibility you should have some of these at home filled with potable water (and a tiny amount of bleach to keep the water sterile). A good rule of thumb is two gallons per person per day. ... show more
