Stacks compact & securely and USA-made
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Water Storage Method; No Leaks
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2021
I got the first one several weeks ago and tested it before ordering the second one. As the picture shows, I have them mounted on a wood platform so I can use the spigots to dispense water into large containers. I first filled them about half full to make sure there were no leaks. After a few hours, I finished filling each barrel. So far, I have found no leaks around the spigots. I have not tried to release any water, but my objective is to store water for emergencies, not use it regularly. I purchased a special hose intended for RVs and boats that will not contaminate the source water (city water system which is very good). I used that to fill the barrels. Also, I added about 1 teaspoon of regular bleach for each 5 gallons of water. These barrels will be a major part of my emergency water supplies.
