PSA: Reliance Aqua Tainers

[r8dr rider]

These suck ***! Do not buy for long term storage. I had a couple. Sitting for about 4 years with water. Checked out my supply today and bother were warped (fat looking). One the cap broke, maybe from stacking? Anyway get these are fine for camping but don’t expect long term stackable storage.

My other stackables are fine. Purchased from Amazon years ago don’t know brand but they were legit. Had to purchase spout separate

Used these for years and they work great. Never once considered filling them and stacking them. If I needed them to be stacked off ground level I'd use a shelving method.

How deep did you stack them? I am only stacking them two containers high.

I bought a bunch of them from Walmart last month.

As I was stacking the heavy-*** aquatainers filled with water, I started thinking... "maybe these aren't as robust as I thought they were back when they were empty"

I had the same problem, only mine cracked and the water leaked out.

They're expensive these days but I only use Scepter MWC from Canada. LCI makes pretty much the same thing in the US and they're cheaper.

I have a few of them and used them for camping. They look like they were made for stacking, but after reading their website (just recently), it says you should only stack them when empty. I have had them stacked 2 high and the lower one did deform a bit. Never had them leak in the 6 years that I have had them stored full of water. Guess I'll leave them on the floor and not stack them.

Might look into something more robust like the Scepter if guys are saying they eventually fail and leak.
