WaterBrick 1833-0003 Stackable Water and Food Storage Container, 3.5 gal, Tan

I bought four of these to augment my water storage. I like the size; at 3.5 gallons, they are small enough for my wife to handle if need be. These stack well, but I am standing them up longways behind my couch to take advantage if the gap behind it and the wall.

Use: I got this for dry camping and offroading. I tried this because of the form factor and manageability. It's small enough to fit in crannies, or it stacks together to keep them secure in the truck bed. I like it, but the dispenser spigot is super awful. I drilled a whole in the bottom of one brick, and put a 1/4 turn hose spigot on it. It was difficult to make it seal since I can't fit my hand to the bottom, and this solution reduces the space flexibility. Cracking the lid for venting, I get high flow for 95% capacity. Pro. Stacks really nice, relatively light (3.5 gal is more manageable than 5), holds shape well even in 120°F, relatively robust for sliding around in the truck bed, and has a wide mouth for very fast fill/empty. Con: Cannot evacuate all the water when inverted, cannot reach the bottom inside with my hand, has thin spots at stress concentration areas, the handle is .... interesting, the dispenser lid/spigot is horrible, and the lid seal is poorly designed and falls inside.

The bricks are solid and well constructed. The lids fit snugly and do not leak. Carrying handles are substantial and lift the weight required. . My only surprise was that the colored bricks (non blue) are gray and not tan. I would purchase again. Update: reordered another 2 for a total of four. Great product.

I really like these waterbricks, very good design, very strong, really like the way they stack together, super nice, will be buying more, allready purchased 3.

The size is perfect, they stack well and have plenty of tie downs. I normally carry two lashed down to the rear wheel well in a open top CJ-5 in the desert or out rock crawling. If you get one I recommend the spigot to make things easier and less wasted water. When we get into camp we put it on the top of a tire and angle it slightly down where the top of the body holds it securely in place so people can wash their hands or get water to cook or clean dishes. Can't have enough of these on hand! If I could give them 10 stars I would.

I like the size and shape. They stack great and are easy to carry. They seem durable and well built. The design of the end with the opening is poor. It is impossible to pour out the last half liter or so of water. I replaced the wire in the handles with 4mm cord which is much nicer. The gaskets in the lids tend to fall out if you're not careful to it's easy to loose them.

Well I missed the return window because I was out of the country. Filled these with water and stacked them for when we returned - two are leaking through the seal on the sides. (If it was leaking through the screw-on top I could say maybe we didn't tighten it down - but nope, through the plastic seal. What a mess. Would not buy again. Bought a couple several years ago (for our rural homestead and camping) and loved them - but they must be using a cheap vendor now. Don't waste your money.

I bought two of these for a four night canoe trip and to use later for pickup camping. They pack well being that they are stackable. I also bought the valve. The carrying handle doesn’t clear the valve which makes it hard to lug around. My recommendation would be to keep the normal flat cap on during transport and put the valve on when you setup for the day or night.

These are tough as hell!

This thing is awesome. I use it for camping as I like to go into the bush where there is no running water. I have zero leaks and it sits nicely on my roof basket. Definitely recommend.

Very timely delivery, item as described

The lid is hard to screw, when the handle is installed. It's annoying. Also, the product come with a P65 Cancer warning sticker, no additional information on what is cancerous in this product on their website. It's not very comforting ... it's supposed to be food grade. I wouldn't buy again for that reasons.

Great for emergency storage. But the problem is that you can't pour water from it effectively. The additional pour-spout available has mediocre reviews. It would not have been too hard to make this both efficient storage and possible to pour from. This is definitely a problem if you plan to take it camping, FYI.
