Read More They do tend to leak, the threads on the spout don't seal well with the screw lid. I fixed it with several layers of pink (heavy duty) plumbers tape around the threads. The vent cap leaks, the blow molding was uneven. That can be fixed by using fine sandpaper with a sanding block to smooth the seal. The stop cock turns too easily and can slip off, that can be fixed with the thick rubber broccoli band. It works now with the modifications, but I shouldn't need to do this. -

Read More I bought two of these from my local REI and filled them up when I got home. The first one leaked immediately from the threads where the white spigot connects to the blue jug. It may have been fixable with some thread sealing tape (plumbers tape) but rather than deal with that I returned that one. The two I have now seem to work just fine though I haven't used them much. I wouldn't buy this product from anywhere that doesn't have a generous return policy, like REI. These jugs seem to be very inconsistent in quality. If I new there were a better product out there, I'd probably go with that. But as of now, this is the best I've found. -

Read More I have used these for years, but not because they are a good product. They are just like the others in that the plastic has no UV protection. I generally have to replace them every year. But usually find out I have a leak on a trip and end up with water spilling all over my gear. Some entrepreneur needs to make a UV resistant consumer grade 5gallon jug with spigot. -
Mar 13, 2014Does exactly what it shouldSo far so good. Doesn't leak when closed. I am glad the vent hole is a screwed on cap. Makes transporting the container easy.

Read More I've used this product on several car camping trips that lasted over a few weeks. I was so happy I bought this water container. It holds plenty of water. Conveniently, the spout comes off, flips around and can be reconnected to the container for easy storage. The handle is very strong and doesn't warp even when carrying the container when it's full. Great buy for the money. -

Sep 14, 2013Works good for meThe vent leaked a little on mine. The valve worked just fine but it's new. If it does break I'll get a stainless ball valve or something for it.
Read More brought two of these on a camping trip and both spigots broke at the threads where it screws into the cap. left us without a way to property store or dispense our water for the whole duration of our trip. $40 going into the trash.
