- Is the plastic safe to drink from?
- Reliance states the polyethylene is BPA- and PFAS-free, so it is intended for drinking water. Rinse it before first use and let it dry fully between trips.
- How much does it hold?
- Five gallons, about 40 lb when full. Plan on setting it down near where you need it rather than carrying it far.
- Does it come with a spigot?
- Yes, a spigot and cap assembly are included. The spigot lets it work as a gravity-fed tap.
- Can I use it for emergency water storage at home?
- Yes. It folds away when empty and holds enough for a household for a day or two. Store it out of sunlight and rotate the water.
- How does it compare with a rigid water jug?
- It packs much smaller and weighs less empty, but a rigid jug is easier to carry full and stands more steadily.
- How do I clean and dry it?
- Rinse with mild soap and water, then prop it open to air-dry fully before folding. Folding it wet can trap moisture and odor.
