  • Durable water container great for camping and travel
Color: Sand
This 2.5 gallon water container is very well made and feels extremely durable. The plastic is thick and rigid and does not flex when full. The cap seals tightly with no leaks and pouring is easy and controlled. Size is perfect for camping overland trips or emergency water storage. BPA free material is a nice bonus and it stores easily when not in use. Great quality and worth the price. ... show more

  • Well made, easy to use, holds up well
Color: Green
Nice quality and easy to fill. Stores well and is easy to secure and take with you on camping trips or when you’re out hunting spring water. Do yourself a favor and also buy the adapter spout to help you with pouring the water. The jug gets really heavy and you’ll waste a lot of water just trying to free pour it. ... show more

  • Perfect!
Color: Sand
I have to haul water in to an off-grid cabin, and for years I've been using those large 5 or 6-gallon blue jugs. I can't tell you how many of those I've gone through - typically the pour spouts break or the thin blue plastic breaks. But the biggest problem with them is that when they're full, they're very heavy. At my age now (closing in on 69), I find it very hard to actually lift and carry them. So, when I saw the Scepter 2.5 gallon containers I decided to try one. What a difference! I wound up buying three more. Four of these are pretty close in capacity to two of the blue jugs. They are much easier to lift and carry, they're built so much better, and the caps are made very well and have thick o-rings in them. I don't need any pour spouts, so these containers are perfect for me. They're made in Canada. The blue ones? Well, you know where they're made. My only regret is that I wish I had found these sooner. I would have saved some backaches and probably a few $$ along the way. I'm doing leak tests on all four containers. So far, so good. Nice job Scepter! ... show more

  • Dang tough and easy to clean
Color: Sand
We purchased four of these water jugs for our week-long canoe trip. They have a 10-liter capacity, which was just right for storing enough water without being too heavy to carry. The small spout and vent make it easy to pour water, and the big opening makes it super easy to fill and clean. None of our jugs leaked when we left them on their sides our canoes. The jugs did have a smell when we first got them, but we washed them with soap and water, and then let them air dry for a week with the large lid removed. The smell eventually went away, and our drinking water always tasted great. Some folks might say the price is a bit high, but these food-grade plastic water jugs are super durable, built for adventure, and the price will likely be justified when they last for many years. ... show more

  • Safe, Reliable Water Storage
Color: Green
Purchased a few of these for emergency water supply during hurricane season. I am very happy with the quality, ruggedness and size of this jerrycan. I also purchased more for my boat, and this is a good size for my car if I need water on the go. I can lift and carry this 2.5 gal/10ltr size when filled (can't manage the 5 gal/20 ltr size... have to drag it around). It did not have any leaks when can was laid down flat or on its side using just my hand to tighten. Openings are easy to grip and turn. There is also a tool available if you need (optional purchase) to assist with tightening (extra confidence of no leaking with jostling or temperature changes) and loosening to remove the caps (weak or small hands). Caps have retaining attachments so they will not fall off or get lost. I especially like having two opening sizes for good control of filling and pouring. Also, the wide-mouth opening allows me to put my hand inside for a thorough cleaning. Another benefit is an optional spout is available - helps with filling other bottles, cooking pots, or washing hands or other items. No funny smells or residue (wash and air dry before first use). Very pleased and recommend. ... show more

  • Not family friendly
Color: Sand
It's sturdy and leak proof, but not mom friendly. I bought the adaptor spout, but the small-air-vent on a can is placed right above the pouring spout. If you set the can ("facedown") in a way that the adaptor spout can work via gravity, the can leaks water thru the air-vent opening. You have to keep it upright and tilt it manually every time you want to pour. It gets annoying with the kids asking for help every hour because they can't lift and manipulate the pouring angle themselves. Had the air-vent was designed somewhere on the other side, so the can could be set up to be used with just a push of a spout lever, it would have worked for us. ... show more
