WaterPrepared 55 Gallon Unique Stackable Utility Water Tank, Blue | Emergency Water Storage Tank with Large Cap and Spigot for Easy Filling, Fits Through Standard Doorway

We purchased two of these because we are on a water well and experience frequent power outages. We were able to stack these conveniently between our furnace and the water heater in front of the garage bay for our car, following directions to leave 4 inches of air space in the bottom stacked container. Lowes sells a hot water heater platform that perfectly matched the diameter of the containers and elevates them for easier spigot usage. The platform is manufactured to bear the combined weight of the two filled containers. The containers were shipped fast and arrived in perfect condition. These are pre-tested for leaks prior to shipment; and both proved to be 100% leak-free when we began filling them and after we finished filling them. We used a bright LED work light held next to the container to allow us to easily monitor the water level...one of us holding the RV/marine water hose that we also purchased on Amazon to use with these containers and the other standing at the close-by outdoor water faucet on our house to turn the water off before the 4-inch Sharpie mark we drew on the bottom container was reached. The directions included for the storage containers and for the water treatment chemicals are easy to understand and follow. There are two separate glass bottles containing the long-term water storage treatment chemicals. Remember to wear protective gloves while combining them in a larger glass jar or drinking glass, and then allow 5 full minutes before adding the treatment to the container while the water is still filling. (We emptied and refilled the upper container because I forgot to wait 5 minutes for the full chemical reaction and realized it immediately.) Once we had completed this, we turned one of the spigots on and water came out as it should. Then we turned it back off. No water leaks. 100% turned off. We are so happy with the design and materials used for these units. So much nicer than the many, many 5-gallon water jugs we previously relied upon in emergencies...they had required a lot of floor space and were not the heavy opaqueness these new 55-gallon ones have for preventing harmful impurities from growing. I love these so much that I would like to get two more. Realistically though I have what we need for our household in the event of any usual storm outage. We enthusiastically recommend this USA manufacturer and their water storage containers!

I waited a long time to buy this because of the cost. But after being without water for three days during a winter storm a few years ago, I realized I needed a better long-term water storage solution — and I didn’t want 50 smaller containers scattered around the house. This is extremely sturdy and feels very well made. I liked it so much that I ended up buying a second one.

You can tell this was made in the USA. It's perfect.

Purchased two of the 55 gallon water storage containers for our community of 200 homes on well water. We purchased these for emergency water use in the event of a catastrophic natural disaster where electricity is out and well pumps are inoperable. The tanks are easy to fill, stack and the fixtures are secure & easy to connect to a hose to extract water. We’re recommending every homeowner in our community should purchase one for home use. The material it’s made from is FDA approved and safe for potable water.

A big project to correctly install it outside.. First I used an old tropical fish net on a stick to pick out the few floating plastic shavings inside and then washed it out. It is heavy so not easy to remove the few gallons on water I put in it. The spigot is close to the ground (they used to have two of them) so built a heavy duty 12 inch high stand. Bought a brass extension so can angle the water and now easy to attach the special water drinking house. Bought a 50ft and a 10ft hose to fill and empty it. Then I built a cover for it so no sun hits it and found a somewhat shady spot in my yard.

It's well made. It should last for years. Brass spigot is high quality. We use it at our campsite. We gravity fill the tank in our camper with it.

Thick construction Oval shape allows them to take up less space. Bought black covers for them No leaks etc

I searched emergency water storage for a year. These are are the best that I found. Only weighs 16 pound when empty. MADE AND ASSEMBLED IN USA | Large cap for easy filling | Stackable to save space | Utility valve for extra connections | Easy fill buckets | BPA FREE | FDA Food Grade Materials | Fits through standard doorway. Each 55 gal tank comes with water treatment solution (chlorine dioxide) that lasts for 5 years. I only drawback is the nozzle is close to the bottom but we stacked them on pallets so we can get a bucket under the bottom ones. Ordered 2 more.
