What do you guys think of these Water Containers?

[JLH911]

Saw these at Big 5, but they want waaaay too much. I've found them as low as $14.00. I like the idea of the hidden spigot.

They looked to be pretty well made. Made in Canda.

One of my bros brings two of those to elk camp. They leak pretty badly if left laid down, but it could probably be remedied with some teflon tape. We just sit them back up after we get our water. A 7 gal container weighs about 56 lbs full, so it's not an easy thing for a small woman or child to lift it.

Thanks for the info. That's the kind of info I need.

I have two of them and they work great.

The downside is the spout can fill with dirt or mud when in transport mode.

That's where the ever-handy vinyl/latex glove comes in....

Cuz we can't use rubbers for this kinda stuff anymore, sumbody'd get all hurt.

Never thought of that.

Thanks for the tip.

When the spigot is flipped will dirt get into the inverted valve? Looks like it.

I bought mine at a yard sale for $10.00 and that was about 5 years ago.
