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!

Two things you’ll likely need as well are a hose (for filling/draining) and water treatment chemicals.
When it arrived, the air inside had a strong plasticky small, so I letting it air out for a while and plan to replace the water more often at first — and I would be cautious about regular (non-emergency) drinking water applications. The overall size is roughly comparable to a large trash can.
