I looked all over for water storage cans for about a week and a half online. I finally settled on this one. I was nervous because there was only one review and it was 1 star. I don't know what the other person was thinking about. I bought two of these for a trip out west. On arrival I was nervous that they would be the typical thin plastic that most of the tanks are made of. The tank is not like the blue "Reliance" brand containers.

This can is made of the same plastic Nalgene bottles are made from. It is thick plastic that could be dropped on gravel without being punctured. The air vent on the back is screw on and goes on tight and the reversible nozzle is flexible. There is also a rubber grommet in the lid that prevents leakage and the main lid has a gear like grip so it can be wrenched on/off if necessary. The whole bottle is a very light blue so it reflects most of the sunlight keeping your drinking water cool. When you look at the whole package you can tell this is a very well designed water bottle. It feels and looks expensive but it's about the same price as all the other crappy ones available.

Very high quality strong plastic water containers. Way better then those ones you buy at most stores that are just cheapie junk . These Spector brand seal up tight & dont spill all over the scene like the others. Only thing is they dont fit in standard jerry can holders. Made in Canada (which means good quality)

Received mine as an Christmas present for off roading. This can matches my Scepter gas can. I saw a couple of reviews that say it won't fit a "standard" gerry can mount. As long as the mount meets mil-spec, it should fit just fine (mine does). These cans are the current US military issue cans for fuel, water, etc. for their reliability and toughness.

The water can is UN blue, has a rubber seal on the spout (which keeps it from leaking and keeps contaminates out). Worth the price (at ~$17, it can't be beat...especially for 5GAL of water). Comes with the spout, that is flexible, and stores in itself. Nicely written across the can is "Potable Water". With the writing and color, its easy not to get confused on which you use for gas and which you use for water. Simple stuff to keep up with, but accidents do happen when people aren't paying attention.

Would recommend to any off roader / utv camper.

This product works good for camping in remote places. The pouring spout works really well

. I love how thick and chewy-durable this plastic is;
I feel confident this will last for years .
. however I do prefer the shape of Reliance Jerry cans,
if only they didn't develop cracks .
. the bottom could have a deeper groove for your fingers
to help with tipping it over;
esp'ly since the nozzle is so slow,
even after you saw it off to 1/3 its original size!
. I think its meant to carefully pour dangerous fuels .

It took forever to get these cans made by Scepter although not as heavy duty as the Military version they are good quality I think the smaller spigot is a plus and the price compared to their Mil Std. counterpart is exceptional I did not understand why these were shipped all the way across country via UPS, and then when they got to my location had to be transferred to the US post office as per the sender which took an extra two days for delivery. Overall these will be great for my jeep adventures, and if I happen to encounter any Zombies I will be plenty hydrated, with lots of agua to spare

WATER CAN WORKS OUT PERFECT WHEN YOUR WIFE RUNS YOU OUT OF WATER IN THE RV WHILE DRY CAMPING AT THE BEACH

I found the picture very confusing! It showed 6 different cans. I actually had to call the company to see if the price was for all 6 cans or just the water cans. An individual picture would have been better.
The containers were sturdy and useful for our purpose - a walk with full water jugs to show what people in Africa have to do to get water.

They say Military style but be advised, this water can will not fit in a standard Jerry can holder!

I purchased the "set of four" and received one water can. The description is inaccurate. I called True Value and they refunded the shipping charge and told me to go to my local true value and order them. I ordered three more water cans from my local store and paid no shipping charge and they were a lower price. Don't get burned buy local.
