Pressurized Jerry Can Water Filter

This jerry can was surprisingly high quality. I was expecting something like the basic red gas can in my garage, but this is much more thick and much higher quality. The plastic has a nice texture and is a strong thickness. I took a picture of the top peering into the inside, if you look closely you might be able to tell that the can is reinforced in the center. Thats to keep the can from expanding when over pressurized. It makes the can super durable though. My kid was standing on it and it was no problem at all. The pump handle is a surprisingly smooth plastic. I guess to make it more comfortable when you're pumping. It glides easily. I didn't have any problems with it except I had skipped reading an instruction and forgot to remove a cover from the bottom of the filter. So at first it wasn't pumping water, but that was an obvious fix. Then just a few quick pumps and water was streaming out. Instructions told me to pump water through it a few times before drinking. BE SURE TO DO THIS. The first water to go through a brand new filter always has some stuff wash out. But once I ran some water through the filter and let it clear out, it was crystal clear water ready to drink. The filter has two parts that just screw together. The smaller part of the filter needs replacing sooner which is why. Every 250 gallons I believe. The other lasts a lot longer. I think 10,000 but don't quote me on that. Either way I look forward to this lasting me a long time. The can was easy to dry, and store. It was perfect. For the quality of can, filter and pump this thing is great! Looking forward to taking it on more campouts. Another bonus was how the lids are on top, so I don't have any worries about this leaking in my car. Very impressed

I got this to fit a dual purpose for both camping and a natural disaster. I was pleasantly surprised that it was well packaged for a durable jerry can. It has a simple yet functional design. The unfiltered water goes in, you pressurize the can, and then dispense your water. I like that fact that the water filter has 10,000 gallons for the standard UF hollow fiber module and 250 gallons for the activated carbon. The nice thing about these quantities is you don’t have to worry about being stingy with your water usage (limit it only to drinking water). You could use it for rinsing dishes if you wanted. It will work perfect for car camping in remote areas were potable water is not accessible, but a creek or stream is running past your campsite. It has a passive usage when not camping as a backup for a natural disaster. Since I live in the shadow of both volcanos and in an earthquake prone area it is not unreasonable to think that one of these two natural disasters could leave me without running water. Since I have a water source on my property all I needed was a way to filter it, and now I do. I like that fact that it is the right size if you have to carry it for any distance to keep you from making multiple trips back and forth from the stream. It hits the mark for simplicity, usability, and functionality.

Do not buy this !!!!! This thing is straight garbage!!! I have a Lifesaver jerry can that I keep in my truck and use on a daily basis as the water that we have will leave an orange residue on dog water bowels, showers and tubs. After watching some reviews and reading a bunch, I thought, this is cheaper and would be perfect for the house! Boy was I wrong!!! After it was delivered I followed the instructions to the letter on set up( wait what ??? A guy following the instructions !!!! Impossible!!!, I did) So after doing the rinse and soak time for the filter. It was time to run 8 gallons through it per the instructions. After 5 pumps on the pump and the valve open I heard an air leak at the pump threads I tightened it, it was still hissing like a mad rattler. Then I noticed it leaking from the top of the on / off valve. Strike 2!!!! I also noticed that after 5-6 pumps the can (which feels like cheap plastics) started to bulge . Something I've never had happen on my Lifesaver can. Called Amazon and got a full refund Save your money and buy a Lifesaver that's what I did as soon as I got off the phone with customer service. Should have gone with my gut instinct and saved myself the hassel and just spent the money. It is worth it!

I have used this camping several times when 4WDriving. Loves: LOVE the pressure pump, love the filters (carbon and main sediment one - water tastes great), love the 4 gallon size and its proportions (not too heavy to lug around), love the handle - sturdy and great for tethering, love the excess side cabins to hold extra carbon filters. Not so loves: A bit pricey - but it has proven its durability, so I think it will pay for itself in the long run. The only dislike: The slightest touch - I mean the brush of a jacket being tossed on top of it in the back seat - opens the spigot and drizzles a gallon of water on your back seat. Even just jostling on a particularly rocky trail nudged it the slightest, letting water trickle out. In the absence of a simple spigot locking mechanism, I recommend you release all pressure a couple of times as you gain elevation to ensure the easy/smooth water release has no water to send out if someone breathes on it :-). A camping champion - but manage the beast in your vehicle!

This Jerry can is fantastic, I bought it mostly for overlanding trips. Assembly was pretty easy, But, remember to take the rubber seals off the bottom of the filter, I struggled to get water to come out at first because I missed the seal on the charcoal filter. This can is very well built and should last longer than I do. The water taste is good as far as I'm concerned and it's easy to clean after a trip. I like the 4 gallon size as well as it's not too heavy, but can hold plenty of water between fill-ups.

This is both a Jerry can and a water filter. I really like the filtering. My camping draws from tap water and we can never be completely sure what you get at random state and RV parks. This is great at delivering good-tasting water. The 4-gallon size is a great balance between storing lots of water and still light enough to easily manage. Construction is highly durable and BPA-free. I gave a ‘3’ rating because of the pressurized dispenser. The filtering is done while it pours, so it’s always pretty slow - it does take awhile to fill a tea kettle. The on/off value is easily bumped - when I brushed it with my shin, it peed on my leg and made a puddle before noticing. It’s hard to use without dripping - the short outlet tube provided retains a few drops that will will drip awhile after turning off the valve. Now I leave it UNpressurized until I need water. In fact, now I’m afraid to drive over mountains with any water in it at all, as the altitude change might cause it to weep again since I’m not confident the valve will always stay fully closed. Bottom line: filtering is outstanding but use this Jerry can to fill another water pitcher for cup-by-cup use and then release pressure.

We had purchased this to have when we go out on long side by side rides. We had put it to use this weekend while out on a ride. I was so pleased with the overall product. It has some great features to it that I was very happy with: first, the filters, the size of it (it's not too big but not to small either, its that perfect medium size), I was please with the gravity flow and how we were able to sit it up and put the water up! I would recommend this to anyone. We filled it with our water at home before leaving the house but I feel like it we were ever in an emergency while out riding and using our water, I would feel extremely comfortable utilizing it in that circumstances.

I don't know what to say, because I LOVED this product. I gladly paid the price tag because for what it claims to do, it's entirely reasonable. And then... It did! I could see a visible difference in the water (there are deposits in our tap water, so it's kind of white and milky), and the taste was SO GOOD. I used it for me, my brother, even my cats. I was euphoric to be able to take my tiny house anywhere and always have safe, delicious drinking water. And then. Way, way before I had even reached the halfway point on my FIRST water filter... It broke. Not the filter, oh no. Not the pump. Not any of the small bits under pressure that would make sense. The water tank itself split along its seam! It can hold water with minimal leaking if it's not under pressure - but of course, pressure is how the filter works. So now I have a giant wet expensive paper weight. I hope and pray that soon I'll be updating this with good news... But for now, here I am, buying water in plastic bottles and trying to find room in my tiny house for a giant paper weight.

Leaks non stop

Great filter & solid jerry can but have to continuously pump handle for any pressure.

I was very anxious to get this unit. The filter system in the water was great until for some reason the pump stop working only after 3 weeks maybe
