5-Gallon Stackable Water Container vs Scepter 5 Gallon Military Style Water Container

Buy the Scepter if you need to carry water to a campsite or a shelter; its molded-in handle and rugged military-style body are built for transport. Buy the stackable container if the water stays put in a basement or closet, where its flat, stackable shape and opaque walls keep a reserve tidy and slow bacterial growth. Both hold 5 gallons of BPA-free HDPE water, but the Scepter is a jug you carry and the stackable is a brick you store. Owners of the Scepter rate it highly for durability; the stackable's 90 mil walls and UN rating are its main build claims.

• Choose the 5-Gallon Stackable Water Container if you are building a stationary emergency reserve and want containers that stack flat to save floor and shelf space.
• Choose the Scepter Portable Military Style 5 Gallon Container if you need to haul water by hand to a campsite, a job site or a shelter and want a strong molded handle.
