Our take on the Scepter 5 Gallon Heavy Duty Military Style HDPE Water Container

The Scepter 5 Gallon Military Style container is a black HDPE jug for hauling drinking water to campsites, vehicles and emergency kits. It holds 5 gallons (about 20 liters), weighs 5.4 lb empty, and stands 18.75 in tall on a narrow 13.5 by 6.5 in footprint, so it tucks into tight spaces. The wide mouth makes filling and cleaning easier, and the shaped grip helps with controlled pours. It is BPA-free and doubles as dry storage for pet food, bird seed or smoker pellets. Against collapsible water bags it is far sturdier; against rigid rotomolded jugs it is lighter and simpler, though it lacks a spigot and is heavy when full.

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 5460 ratings

Owners rate it highly, praising the thick, rigid plastic and the leak-free seal on trips and in storage. The main complaints are the weight when full and the lack of a spigot.

What people mention
  • Build qualityPraisedOwners describe the plastic as thick and rigid, holding up to being tossed in trucks and trailers.
  • LeaksPraisedBuyers report the cap seals tightly and the jug stays dry in vehicles and storage.
  • WeightCriticisedA full jug is around 40 lb, which owners say makes long carries awkward.
  • DispensingCriticisedReviewers note there is no spigot, so water has to be poured or pumped out.
  • FillingPraisedThe wide opening makes filling from a tap or hose and rinsing out quick.
