Customers are satisfied with the quality of the water cistern. They mention that it holds up well, is of good quality construction and material, and doesn't add any taste to your water. The cistern is rigid enough that it doesn' t bulge outward when full, and is stable when stacked.

I was very surprised at this water container!
A few impressive things:
1) The cap is beefy with a nice o-ring on the seating surface. It tightens down by hand snugly and has lots of threads, so I didn't feel like I was going to strip the threads.
2) The spout is a simple affair, but is of the same sturdy material as the cap and it screws on to the inside of the cap for storage (so the cap is flush as pictured, for storage). You would think that this would be a simple idea, but I've got 2 CARB gas tanks in my garage that actually pump gas out of the tank if you try and store them pointing inside the tank!
3) The tops and bottoms are molded so that other Aqua Paks of the same size can lock in. They stack on top of each other nicely. I'm planning to stack them 2 deep and 2 high.
4) The material is BPA free (big, round stickers advertising this)
5) The material is a nice blue color that makes it very easy to see the water level inside.
6) The tops were mounted so that, if you store them with the cap facing up, the caps aren't underwater (less chance for leaking)
7) The material is thick and doesn't deform or bloat out at the middle when standing on its own. I stacked them 3 high when full (that's 40 lbs of water PER CONTAINER) and I saw a bit of bowing out in the middle of the lowest one. I'm not sure if I'd want that much stress on the lower container if I were storing it in a carpeted closet. The tower of 3 containers was also a bit tippy when standing on it's own (no support on any side) as the material does have some flex in it with that amount of weight stacked up. I'm not concerned at all about stacking 'em 2 high, but I don't think I'd go any higher.
OK. So I bought these primarily for Earthquake / Disaster preparedness (keeping a 36 hour minimum supply of food/water on hand for the household - estimate 1 gal per person per day).
Here's how I got 'em ready:
1) Fill 1/3 full with hot water and some Dawn dishwashing liquid
2) Rotate the valve to the outside (dispensing position) and seal it up. Shake like mad for 10 seconds. Watch the sides bow out as the air in the tank expands. Look quickly for leaks (I found none in my 4) and vent with the valve, running the soapy water out through the spout. Let sit, vented, for 5 minutes. Shake out as much soapy water as you can
3) Add 1/4 tank of warm water, shake, vent and drain through the valve. Remove cap and shake out as much water as you can
4) Repeat step 3 an additional 3 times.
Now the next step depends on where you live. I live in the suburbs in the USA and get my water from a municipal supply (City water pipes). It is already treated with chlorine and all sorts of other things that will make the water safe for 6 months storage with no problems at all, so I simply filled the tanks as high as I could, capped 'em off and put 'em in a cool dark location that wouldn't freeze. If you have well water or have a municipal source that isn't so good, you might want to think about water treatment tablets for storage or using bleach (I think it is 8 drops of un-scented, plain chlorine bleach per gallon for long-term storage of 6 months, but please research that on your own).
Don't forget to rotate! Water won't stay safe like this forever. My plan is to dump the water, rinse and refill every 6 months or so. I use the daylight savings time change for other things in our home (ex: New batteries go in to the smoke alarms every spring with the time change), so I'll probably pour the water out on to the flowers with every time change... at least get some use out of the water!
My only suggestion for improvement is in the cap. When you put the tap into storage mode (stored facing inside the tank) and you put the cap on the can (again, in storage mode) you can see right down into the pipe leading to the valve. This is a surface that will be touching the water when you set the cap/faucet up for use. If you are storing these long-term in a dusty environment (your garage, for example) this surface is going to collect dust and dirt and it may contaminate your water. I took a piece of painters tape (1.4" wide) and covered this hole to keep out debris. The containers ship with a large sticker over the hole, so someone thought of this, but the sticker is useless after you install the tap the first time for cleaning. I wrote the refill date on the tape w/ a sharpie and stacked 'em up, feeling better that this aspect of our emergency kit was taken care of.
It has thick, high-quality, blue, see-through plastic so you can see the water level inside. It has a recessed handle so other containers (the same kind) can be easily stacked on top, making storage easier, and little ridges on top that will fit into the bottom of the container on top, making the stacking very secure (I only have one, so I haven't actually tested the stacking yet, but I can already tell it will work). The cap reverses and has a spigot so it can be turned on it's side to dispense water. I tested the spigot and it is water-tight. It also has a little vent plug near the back of the handle to create venting so the water can pour out easily. The vent plug is also water-tight.
The labeling is not glued on so it comes off easily. I attached my own labels listing the contents and date of storage.
The only thing I see that I wish it had was a long pouring spout such as one would find on a gasoline container. I also think a large funnel would come in handy both for filling it up and for pouring into another container. The spout hole is fairly standard sized, about 2-1/2 inches across. These are not drawbacks to the product, just things I will want to purchase to make it easier to use.
I've only had it a few days, but I can see the quality is great and I anticipate many years of use out of this product.
Recommend
I really like that they are BPA-free, meaning there are no chemicals leaching into the water. Being food grade plastic, there also won't be any plastic-y taste to the water. These containers stack nicely, and the spiggot is stored inside the lid so it stays clean. They are rigid enough that they don't bulge outward when full, and the handles on both the top and the side mean it's easy to carry and move. There is also a removable plug to allow air to enter as you are dispensing, so no "glug glug" slowing down the flow.
I bought an extra spiggot just in case something happens to one of the ones that came with the container.
I haven't had any trouble with leaking around the gasketed lid, like I've read about some other containers. That also means no dirt will be entering the water while it's being stored. Overall I am very pleased with these containers and highly recommend them to people who want to keep some drinking water on hand.
