One of the best long term water storage containers
Why I’m diggin the water brick?1. Perfect Capacity3.5 gallons (instead of 5 or more!) 31.5lbs of water is MUCH more manageable than 45lbs. Lets call it 34lbs with the weight of the brick itself.2. The HandleIt’s comfortable and easy to use. Some have said that it comes off too easily. It’s true, but I think this is a good thing. Easily removing the handle is important in order to use the spigot (must be purchased separately). Actually, so far I really like the handle, and it looks like they will last as long as the brick will.3. Adult Size Legos!?Stack em up!! Not sure how high they can be safely stacked before the bottom one it compromised, I think the website has that number. But even if you can only stack them 4-5 high, this is an AWESOME feature. Are the “stability” holes necessary? Probably not, but for safety sake, I guess I understand. So where can you put em? In the corner of the closet, in the garage, or shed, trunk of the car, under the sink, on the shelves of the pantry, in a (sturdy) drawer, under the bed, under the couch, under a table top as a makeshift coffee table to night stand.4. Wide MouthDue to the design, it’s not really possible to reach inside and scrub all of the inside, the wide mouth is nice to have for easy filling and emptying.5. The CapSomewhere I read that someone wasn’t happy with the cap. Huh?! They are thick, well made, and have a quality feeling rubber inner to create a good seal. What more do you want? It’s an important aspect of water storage, and they did it well.The negatives?First, the mouth of the brick being recessed, it is next to impossible to empty the brick completely. Kind of a big flaw, but not a deal breaker for me. Number two, no air vent. I wonder why… It will probably slow the water flow when using the spigot. Guess we can’t have it all.Overall, a huge step forward in long-term water storage for the average person, especially for space-conscious apartment dwellers. Find it hard to swallow the price tag? I get it.Some quick numbers:The Water Brick: 6 bricks x 3.5 gallons = 21 gallons. $120/21 = $5.71 per gallonBottled Water “Market Pantry” from Target: $1 per gallonIf you replace your bottled water each year and if my math is correct, then in six years the Water Bricks pay for themselves. And you keep those bottles out of the landfills or oceans. Not such a bad deal.

What is your intended use for these containers?
These containers appear to be indestructible. Heavy walled and the geometry of the container has been designed for maximum strength. Ribs, center posts and recesses that give the block added strength. I have no doubt that. If one dropped this container while carrying it filled with 28 lbs. of water it would not break. The removable carry handle is much better then one molded into the container itself such as a Jerry can. These are conveniently portable for hiking, camping any distance. Any larger and it would not be practical. The container is well balance when carrying.The cap is a large diameter. It needs to be tightened well to achieve a positive seal. Consequently one is going to need a wrench of and oil filter type to open it. The handle is easily removed to access the cap but because of it being recessed it is difficult to get ones hands about it to turn it. Both Spigot and wrench need to be purchased separately. The provided cap does not have provisions with a threaded knockout for a spigot. No instructions came with the product. I phoned the manufacturer after my purchase arrived and asked why there were two different colors; gray and sky blue. The answer was: so one can distinguish between water for sanitation and water for drinking. I didn’t recall that information being given in the product description. Both containers are sanitary safe for drinking water. It is merely a color difference. I purchased additional containers in blue. If you intend on storing emergency water at home I would consider a larger not so portable container. The bricks are designed for a specific need. I left the filled new containers in my truck can for several hours in the hot sun. When I opened the truck I detected a smell. The container needs to be gassed of before being used as it was recently manufactured. The HDPET plastic needs to cure. There was no mention of this in any packing literature that came with the product. Another manufacturer of similar stackable water containers provided a complete explanation on this topic when they sent me their product.
