  • Highly recommend this water container for anyone who wants to be prepared for emergencies
Color: Sand Style: Container
The build quality is impressive—it feels very sturdy and durable, perfect for outdoor adventures. One of the things I love most is that it’s BPA-free, so I can confidently store drinking water without worrying about harmful chemicals. The design makes it easy to fill and pour, and it’s compact enough to fit neatly in my car or camping setup. I've also used it for emergency storage at home, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I have a reliable water source on hand. Overall, I highly recommend this water container for anyone who enjoys camping or wants to be prepared for emergencies. It’s practical, safe, and built to last! ... show more

  • Heavy Duty and no leaks!

I keep this in my truck when camping and it works great. Ive used cheaper ones that work ok, but leak and the material is much thinner. This is legit and heavy duty...

  • It's a Scepter, pretty much all you need to know.
Color: Sand Style: Container
We'll guess there's a million reviews of these containers. We keep it brief... Pros: * Like its larger 5-gallon brother, the Scepter 2.5 gallon water container is literally bomb-proof, military grade, solid construction, and worth its price. * Leaves no foul or "plastic" taste in the water it carries. * The 2.5 gallon container is SUPER handy and unless you're doing some serious overland travel, its compact size, relative to your water requirements, may make this a better buy than the much larger, and ungainly, 5-gallon model. * The khaki/beige color looks great in and of itself and if you're prepping for the zombie apocalypse, you will be sure to impress your prepper friends with this very tacticool colorway. * Post-COVID it seems as if the price for Scepter containers is again reasonable. But can you even put a price on this quality? Cons: * None ... show more

  • Heavy-duty product -- will not get punctured by rough handling
Color: Sand Style: Container
A very solidly made product. After reading other reviews, I saw that the one possible failure point is the o-ring gasket sealing the big screw cap. Many other reviewers said their Scepter water can leaked from here. As soon as I got mine, I filled it halfway with warm water and some dish detergent, sealed it up and shook it at all angles -- upside down, sideways, every which way. No leaks! The small cap had no o-ring, but it looks like it doesn't need one because the lip of the spout seats inside a groove inside the cap. As an aside, I found information on another website that the large cap o-ring is a standard #238 size, which is 3-1/2" ID x 3-3/4" OD x 1/8" thick. The person on the other website had added an o-ring to the small cap and reported its size as #116, which is 3/4" ID x 15/16" OD x 3/32" thick. In case the o-rings on your Scepter water can get pinched or damaged, you should be able to buy replacements at an industrial supply house or plumbing supply. This water can will last a lifetime! ... show more

  • Durable and fits perfectly for what I wanted it for, but it does seem to leak a little.
Color: Sand Style: Container
Durable and fits perfectly for what I wanted it for, but it does seem to leak a little when turned on its side. I have this in the back of my camper and overall I'm happy with it. However, as a test, I filled it about 2/3 full, twisted the top the best I could and turned it on its side and it did leak a little around the lid. Now, as stored in my camper upright, I haven't had any issues, but I'm always concerned if things aren't 100% watertight. I would buy it again, it fits right where I need it, but might need to figure out some gasket for the lid. ... show more

  • Must Have for Off-Roading, Camping, & Emergency
Color: Sand Style: Container
This is my 3rd of the Scepter water containers. I have two of the 2.5 gallon and one 5 gallon. This 2.5 gallon size is perfect for short camping trips and off roading. I leave one in my Jeep and Tacoma at all times for emergencies. Very rugged and never leaks. The large lid makes it easy to clean. I’ll admit filling can be a pain because of the weight and single handle. You have to tilt it to fill it completely full. Still 5 stars. ... show more
