Scepter 5 Gallon Water Container vs Igloo 5 Gallon Water Jug

These are two different tools. The Scepter 06181 is a rugged HDPE water can built to military spec, with a DOD label, a narrow 6-3/4 in profile and a screw cap that seals for transport. The Igloo 5-gallon jug is a cooler-style dispenser with a spigot, made for sitting on a counter or picnic table and pouring drinks. Buy the Scepter for hauling and storing water; buy the Igloo for serving it. Owners of the Scepter praise the thick walls and leak-free cap; Igloo owners like the easy dispensing but note the thin lid and spigot are the weak points.

• Choose the Scepter 5 Gallon Water Container if you need to carry, store or cache water and want a sealed, BPA-free can that survives being thrown in a truck bed.
• Choose the Igloo 5 Gallon Water Jug if you want a jug that sits in one place and pours water or drinks through a spigot at a camp, job site or party.
