FoundGo 605L/160gal Water Storage Bladder Emergency Water Storage Tank, Large Capacity Water Containers, Portable Vinyl Water Storage Barrel for Outdoor/Survival/RV/Garden (Green)

We will use this to bring extra water for a camping trip. Seems sturdy. Comes with valve and a short piece of pipe, but you'll need more connectors or adapters depending on what you want to use this for.

I was quite impressed with the look, fit and feel of this bladder tank. It seemed to be quite heavy PVC material and well made and sealed joints. That was until I used it. Our 400-feet deep well needs some work and we are without water for a week or so and hauling town water 40-miles is the best (only) option.. I spread the bladder out in the trailer and let it sit in the sun for a few hours to allow the creases to smooth out. Filling was easy with the top port until it reached the outlet port where it began to leak. The outlet has a large diameter disk that screws on to the outlet pipe to the tank and this was loose. I tightened it a few turns and problem solved. It filled nicely and no more leaks so off we headed for home. Within 10-miles I could see we were trailing a water stream so pulled over. The large disk at the outlet had again come loose. I tightened it with a little more gusto hoping to solve the issue. Not so, another 15-miles and a tell-tail water stream. Tightened yet again and managed to get home without further incident. That big outlet-disk needs a threaded locking ring to prevent this loosening. It looks to be a pipe thread so I can cut down a threaded coupler and screw it on before the valve. I began pumping out to our big tank and all went fine until the water level got down to the outlet pipe. The outlet is installed about 3" above the base (pic from vendor's Amazon web-page) so we still had about 60-gallons to go. This meant I had to stand in the trailer and hold up the opposite end of the bladder to keep the water level above the opening so the pump did not just suck air. Is that why they have straps sewn on? I spent the next five minutes holding up and slowly walking the end of the tank towards the outlet. Ironically, while doing this I read the "tips for use" tag they had attached to one strap. Guess what the last item was. Yup, telling me I'd need to manually drain once the water fell below the outlet position. If they must have the outlet that high up then have an angled pipe inside that reaches down to within about half an inch of the bottom so the pump can suck out most of the water. That's how it is done on our big tanks. They come with that pipe fitting so we can pump out to about the last half inch. Not sure if we will keep this or send it back for a different brand. But at least I know what to look for in the next one.

Bought this to haul water when our well was down. Saved our bacon! Rugged and tough for our needs. Easy to fill and used a on demand to empty

160 Gallons is plenty for camping of 7. Expect your vehicle to have the payload to carry this many gallons of water. I have a Jayco 242BHSW Rocky Mountain and this plenty for boondocking. Great construction!

The quality of the material used it really good. I had some trouble finding the appropriate fittings to connect it to my pump to get the water into the RV when boondocking, but it all works great.

There was no way I could have filled this 160 gal bag with filtered water. Do I used a garden hose. I filled it with about 20 gallons, then realized I couldn't move it, or lift it. It would take a forklift which I don't have. To fill the bag, would weigh over half a ton. The strongest man couldn't lift THAT!

It works well, but their is no way you are lifting it once full, lol, so forget about the handles. Also it will leak if not well sealed with the tape, but they do provide a roll, i thought that was very nice and thoughtful. I do like this product for my intended use.

This things awesome for camping easily fill tanks and water things with ease.

Dosent leak the Idea is great. But would not recommend. The water SMELL like PLASTIC BiG TIME even after multiple rinse of the container I was still smelling plastic on my dishes my plates, ustensiles and pans. Same for my self after showering. Would not buy again that for sure.
