PORTABLE, STACKABLE WATER CONTAINERS: These 5-gallon water containers are designed with flat bottoms and tops that nestle together to help stack more water in less space. The handles make them ideal for moving around, and the built-in twist breathing ports make it easy to pour out the contents of your containers without them getting air locked. This kit includes 4 individual 5-gallon water containers with lids.
40 DAYS OF DRINKING WATER: It’s recommended to have half a gallon of water per person per day when preparing an emergency water reservoir for your household. This kit provides 4 containers that are 5 gallons each for about 40 days of washing, cooking, or fresh drinking water storage. The amount of water needed varies by a person’s size and use, and each portable container weighs about 40 lbs. when filled with liquid.

Great water containers!
These five gallon water containers look great and work really well! They stack nicely and are easy to transport. Easy to use, they fit in where needed (vehicles, sheds, barns, storage rooms). They are inexpensive and are a great value!!

Better than expected. I had few of the problems others list.
I ordered these somewhat cautiously, as there are a number of reviews citing issues. I figured I’d give them a try.I bought the 60 gallon (12 containers) package and after reading reviews with complaints about smell, plastic-quality questions, lid seal, and needing to buy expensive accessories, I am very happy to report:- Little to no smell. If I really take a deep snort with my nose jammed in there, yeah I kind of smell plastic. But it’s very faint. Nothing like what some other customers reported (and I’m not knocking their reviews, I’m sure theirs smelled). No stronger than a new plastic water bottle, and I’m going to wash/bleach them out anyway, so this was a non-issue for me.- Lids. Some customers report not getting lids (though I also see review updates indicating good customer service later supplying them). Mine had lids, although they were deep in the box in a separate envelope, so it may appear at first that yours don’t have any.- Plastic quality. Some customers called out missing or cryptic markings on their containers. Mine are stamped all over with HDPE, the “2” in the arrows, all that BPE-free good stuff. I have no concerns about the plastic (and the containers are very sturdy).- Accessories. Mine came with a wrench for the lids! I was very happy to see this, especially as I didn’t see it mentioned in the product description. I wonder whether, after complaints about lids, the company started being more diligent about including them and also threw in a wrench for free? But that’s conjecture.Also, when I ordered these the delivery estimate was 2-3 weeks. They came in 5 days! Very impressed with this product and the service so far.Now, in fairness, I haven’t filled these yet. So if there are issues with leaking, I will definitely update the review. But between the information about cutting off the collar on the lids, and the bonus wrench they included, I’m confident all should work well. UPDATE: Out of my 12, one had a tiny leak no matter how I tried to seal the lid. A couple others leaked when I sealed them, but by removing the lid and then re-wrenching it on I was able to get a perfect seal with no drips. The one container just leaked no matter how I secured the lid. It was just a small drop every couple seconds when I inverted the container, but this means the water isn’t perfectly sealed so it’s a concern. I’ll see how that water is compared to the others when I open them. Also, the vent opening (the small spout on the rear with the small white cap) leaked on a few, and on a couple I used plumber’s tape on the threads to get a better seal on the vent. The vent holes took a lot of work to drill out. There is a lot of plastic down in that neck, and of course all that debris has to be cleared. This was pretty easily accomplished with the repeated soaping/bleaching/rinsing I was planning to do anyway, but just to say I was surprised how thick that plug was.I do agree with others that instructions would have been useful, but there’s enough information online that I think I’ll be okay.UPDATE Here are the steps I used on each container, in case this helps anyone:1. Drill out the vent hole. As mentioned, this takes some doing unless you have an amazing drill.2. Rinse container with warm water. This should get rid of much of the plastic debris from drilling.3. Add more warm water and a drop of antibacterial dish soap. You don’t need much! On my first few containers I used much more soap and had to rinse many times because it foamed up so much. Seal the soapy water in there and shake vigorously for several seconds to clean thoroughly.4. Rinse out all soap. If you have a sink with a sprayer, that will come in super handy: put the contained upside down to make sure you get it all out.5. Optional: Add some cold water, seal and shake, pour into a glass and sip. Did you get all the soap out? :-)6. Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of bleach to 1 quart water, pour into container, seal and shake vigorously for several seconds.7. Rinse thoroughly.8. Optional: Shake up some more cold water in there and taste it. Should taste great.9. Fill partially with cold water, add 1/2 teaspoon bleach, continue adding water until full. The bleach is to preserve the water and prevent algae/bacteria. Ready.gov recommends 1/8 tsp bleach per gallon, which is 1/2 tsp for 4 gallons. I stuck with this for my 5 gallons. On other sites I saw as much as 1tsp and as little as 1/4 mentioned for 5 gallons.10. Seal and store, somewhere dark that won’t get too warm. Label with a Sharpie: Date filled and amount of bleach added.One final note, I did order this for $9 because I knew I’d need a spigot. I highly recommend this one accessory.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DFW90GY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

OK for storage, could be better overall
Update to the review which follows: I’m raising my review by one star simply because the seller (mfr.?) took the time to reply here, which you don’t often see. Disclosure: I also received the items he mentioned in the comment below (free spigots). They are of the same design as those I purchased, a little lightweight but functional. Assuming any of the stuff I criticized in my review is improved on future models of this container, they are worth looking at. Mine are still in deep storage after a few months and holding water for potential emergency use.Original review: Overall I’m (only) OK with these. I bought a 4-pack of 5 gallons each, received today, filled with water and put in storage. They do stack well (I’m only going 2 high) and they work as intended to store water for the long-term. They seem rugged enough to handle everyday use for camping, etc. as well. I also bought the separate spout (8 bucks) which works OK also.But I took off a couple stars for the following reasons. Each is a fairly minimal complaint but taken together I think they are reasonable to mention.1. Advertised as BPA-free in the Amazon listing, this is not noted on the container anywhere nor on the box they arrived in. There are numbers and other info molded into the plastic, why not a notice about BPA as well to give the customer reassurance and help with info later when someone looks at these as a possible source of drinking water. I used a marker to write “BPA Free” on the top of each container. These do smell like plastic when new. I rinsed them with vinegar and then fresh water which helped, before filling for storage.2. There was no instruction or data sheet enclosed. Not everyone will realize you can (optionally) drill a vent hole under a small white cap at the rear to aid in pouring water (I did not). There’s no discussion about drilling into the big cap to attach a hose (which it is apparently designed to optionally do). Using the big cap is not 100% intuitive. It has a locking ring at its base (similar to what you see on a sealed gallon of milk, only larger) and it’s not clear that this must be removed from the cap before you can unscrew the cap again (at least that what it seemed like to me). This cap ring apparently requires a boxcutter or similar sharp tool to remove, once you tighten it down. You can’t do it by “force” as you do when opening a jug of milk where the ring breaks off. I screwed on one cap tight just to see if it leaked and then realized about the locking ring, so I then cut it off as I could see no way to remove the cap otherwise, there’s no “lock release” function. I then cut off the other cap rings before installing them. You do not need the locking ring to get a good tight seal as there is a rubber washer on the inside of the cap which seems to seal well. So to re-state this, cutting off the locking ring does not affect the seal of the cap. The locking ring is apparently intended for “permanent” storage to ensure the lid won’t come loose, that’s all I can think. Again, brief info about this on a sheet of paper enclosed would be helpful.3. Probably my chief complaint is that you cannot easily drain these of water completely. If you turn them upside down, after “emptying” there is water trapped in the “shoulders” which rise above the drain spout (and are below it when the jug is inverted). You have to shake and twist the container to get perhaps the last pint of water out. This design may have been necessary to allow for stacking but perhaps a better design could have gotten around this issue. For example, the typical 5-gal. “jerry can” water containers have their cap at the lowest point when inverted properly though they don’t stack well as these do.4. If priced a little better for the 4-pack I might have only taken off one star. One free spout with each 4-pack would be a nice touch, at 8 dollars the spouts are also overpriced being made of simple plastic and not looking too rugged at that. These containers are adequate for emergency storage but perhaps not quite as good as they could be.

Terrific Storage
These containers are perfect for our needs. They stack nicely, they travel well and don’t leave a plastic smell or taste in the water. Very happy with the quality and durability.
