here's fixes for your problems...
After reading all the problem reviews here, I still went ahead and rounded up three of these, one a great deal on Amz Warehouse, two for almost as good a price at our local BiMart. I have to transport water from one campground to the one we live in (by ebike/trailer no less!)- mgmnt is clueless and poisons/overchlorinates the well...and/or loses prime on the pump almost weekly! Anyhoo, in these uncertain times, it's best to have two weeks worth of water no matter what so...*The fixes*:*leaking at spigot threads*: Pic 1 and 2- stretch a simple garden hose rubber gasket/washer onto the threads of the spigot! Push it doen so it's flush. It can sit either horizontal or vertical, it's a square washer so either way works. Leaking cured. Bonus- now you can adjust the spigot so it's vertical when using the container on its side, as intended! (can't blv no one has thought of this hack!) 🙄🤔🚰*The vent*: search here on Amazon for them. (pic 3) Replace silly push plug. Done. 🚫💦👍*The plastic smell*: Dump 1/2 box household baking soda in. Fill with COLD water. Seal. Let sit in shade three days. Agitate/mix/change position once or twice a day. After three days, dump/rinse/repeat two or three times. Done. Smell gone.Your water storage container(s) is/are now ready for use.You're welcome. 🚰👍

This product is GREAT!! It is made with some very strong plastic that even when you fill it up you are sure it is not going to break! When you go to use it, another great design. it sits on its side with a spout that you can turn to turn the water on and off. I bought this and another clear 5 Gal container and the 5 Gal one is already in the garbage! Also even when the water got cold in this container it held up! I had this sitting in my RV and it was getting down to 20's-30's in the RV and while I did not have it full the water that was in there STAYED IN THERE! No leaking, splitting, or any other problems I would be VERY HAPPY to buy this again and if you camp or RV I HIGHLY recommend this product!! I will be buying more of these!

I washed them all with baking soda anyway and let them sit for a few days. they leaked from that small white valve on top but if I keep that valve on the upside then there will be no leaks at all. the spigot was very hard to turn but before filling them I used few drops of cooking oil to lubricate them and now they turn very smoothly, all 4 of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Water Jug; Leak Was An EZ Fix
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017
Verified Purchase
I purchased 4 of these water jugs. Generally, they're a good product and what I expected. It's a fairly rigid jug. It's not small at 7 gallons, but the 2 carry handles and thin profile keeps it manageable under load. The thin profile keeps the water jug from taking up too much counter space. The dispenser nozzle works well, with a 1/2-turn from off to full-pour. There's a threaded hole in the cap. Thread the dispenser nozzle inward for storage; thread the dispenser nozzle outward when using. I took a star off because 2 of the caps/nozzles leaked. The fix was easy, though. First, apply some Teflon water-seal tape (cheap; any hardware store) around the threads of the dispenser nozzle before screwing into the cap. Not a lot; 2x around is plenty. Too much can cause a leak. For the 2 cap leaks, I found it was because of the thin plastic ridges where the 2 halves are molded together interfered with the cap's seal. Use a razorblade or box cutter and carefully trim the high ridges flush, both on the flat sealing surface and down the sides to the first thread on the jug. You'll see what I mean when you look at it. Wrap the Teflon tape around the threads of the jug neck 3-4x. After the Teflon tape and trimming, no more leaks. If you don't mind 3 minutes of work to ensure no leaks, these work great. Rinse them out before the first use.

Haven't had any issues with the container so far. It's been with my on several camping and overlanding trips, even rock crawling while it wasn't strapped down and it hasn't shown any damage or any leaks. The top is easy to put on wrong though. You must do due diligence and make sure the top is on correctly and that the spigot is closed before placing the top on. I've actually had one of them full and just sitting in my cargo area on my daily drives, about 70 miles round trip daily, and it's still going strong without leaks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved lives after hurricane Laura.
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020
Verified Purchase
I knew water storage is one of the most overlooked aspects of survival preparedness, so I made a point to have a couple of these can handy in my shed even though I didn't really need them. Then hurricane Laura hit and the water was out for several weeks in some places. Thankfully, the water was back on after a few days at my house, but I loaned these cans to a friend of mine, and he was able to keep water for his family for drinking and cleaning and bathing during the several weeks he had to go without it, and he was able to haul water and help other people with them as well. They held up just fine and I'll probably be buying a few more just in case I ever need them again. I certainly wished I had bought about 5 or 6 rather than one pair.

5.0 out of 5 stars it has a higher capacity and I really like that it's more narrow
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018

This thing is SOLID. My last water jug for camping got dropped on a corner, creased, and a hole opened up. This thing feels invincible compared to the little blue plastic cube I was using before. Beyond being more rugged, it has a higher capacity and I really like that it's more narrow. It will pack easier and when out on my camp kitchen table it will take up a lot less table space. Haven't taken it camping yet, but really happy with the purchase. Love the spout too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Always full of water in my SUV
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021

I waited almost a year to review. I live in the desert so I needed a slim(ish) water container that fits in my 4Runner easily. I have 4 dogs so they drink a lot of water in the summer. I also use this water for showers when I camp. I’ve taken this container to 7 states and really put it to use. It’s been leak free, but I did follow others advice and use the white plumbers tape on the threads prior to use. If you over fill it will leak out the pressure relief valve, so know that. It’s not faulty…it’s just the way it is. Don’t overfill and you’re fine. I can’t speak to the taste of the water since I don’t drink out of it, and the dogs won’t comment. I don’t detect a smell so I’m assuming it’s fine, they drink it readily. I did however find this exact container at REI for about $9 cheaper. I was a little upset about that but I didn’t do my research and I also didn’t have to drive and go get it so maybe it’s not a negative thing. Just figured I’d mention it. Other than that it’s been an amazing container, no issues.

It held together on a really rough road, no split seams or excessive leaks. The only leak came from the "breather hole" My parents used these when I was a kid, we had 6, each and every single one of them leaked out of the back spout ONLY when they were filled up too full, which is a given. We will be ordering more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pro: Excellent quality, very sturdy, space-saving shape. Con: 7 gallons of water is HEAVY
Reviewed in Canada on October 19, 2020
Verified Purchase
I've used Reliance water jugs since family camping trips decades ago. The first ones held 5 Imperial Gallons. Although they were tremendously strong, they weighed a lot when full. Later models were 20 litres (Five U.S. gallons), at when full were 20 kilograms - about 44 lbs. Easier to handle, certainly. And at that time, only drum-shaped containers were available from Reliance - boxy ones came later.
I'd seen the listing on Amazon for these 7 gallon containers. The shape is a real departure from anything I'd used before, and they hold a lot. In fact, I didn't really consider just how much heavier water has become as I've grown older. Amazon's price on these has fluctuated wildly, but I finally bought two on a "deal day" less than $50 Canadian for the pair. They arrived quickly, and on inspection it was clear that they were sturdy and well made. It was only later that I realized how much 7 gallons of water weighs, and the possible level of difficulty to lift or move a full containers. It's something to take into consideration if you're thinking about buying these. True, it's possible to fill them only 1/2 or 2/3 full, move them, and top them up. But it's a lot more work if your water source is not close to where you're storing or using them. Reliance has not skimped on quality - the construction is very strong. But depending on how and where you plan to use them - as well as your age and physical strength - these may not be ideal if "fully loaded." Replacement caps and spouts are readily available and not expensive - for the small cost, I put one replacement set in my camping gear "odds & ends" box. This stye of cap and spout is the same on all my Reliance water jugs, so having a spare seems like a good idea, especially if this water jug was gear to use on an extended trip to someplace where there's not ready access to a camping supply store or post office. I've never broken one off, but that kind of thing usually happens when getting a spare isn't convenient.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome value - huge container
Reviewed in Canada on December 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
Make sure you read the size and quantity descriptions! This is 7 GALLONS, which is 30 litres. But it's amazing value for the price if you need a very large, sturdy water container. Slim design, we have it under our kitchen sink. Has a built in pouring spout, two handled areas, very durable and good quality. Thick, semi-rigid and pebbled plastic. It is VERY heavy when it is full (imagine 30 cartons of milk). Similar products are much more expensive elsewhere. Would be ideal anywhere you need to haul a large amount of water but won't be actually carrying it very far (RV, cottage, etc). Looks like it will last for many years. Highly recommend.
One question......Why is "warmth" a feature to rate on this product??

4.0 out of 5 stars I gave it a clean and tried out the easy pour spout which worked well
Reviewed in Canada on September 7, 2017

Just received this. I gave it a clean and tried out the easy pour spout which worked well. I also checked to see if it leaked after putting the cap on, and it did. I fiddled around with it for awhile trying to get it to stop leaking. Eventually I did manage to get it to stop leaking. Once I cleaned it, I decided to fill it up. Again, I tested for leaking. Again it leaked. It seems you really have to push down on the cap as you twist it on. If I just twist it on without pushing down on the cap, the container will leak (at least the one I received does) if it's on its side. I don't know if this will improve as we use it more. Other than that though, I'm very happy with how sturdy the container is and how large it is. The cap issue hasn't scared me away and I've ordered a couple more containers. Hopefully no leak issues with those ones.

Quick Review:
This is a wonderful new design. Built very well.
I prefer this rectangular type over the round style for packing purposes.
LOVE the dual handle which makes turning it sideways a breeze and is very stable.
Holds 7 Gallons and it is also BPA free.
Ours seals properly when screwed on and you can swivel the spout so that it always points down....
Spout screws in the lid for transport.
*Note that this is not designed to empty into your trailers freshwater tank...the spout would make it difficult to pour into.
We also use the older 6G ones like this (just without the 2nd handle) and they have the correct spout to fill your tank with.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Water Storage Container
Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2018
Verified Purchase
Great water storage container! Definitely BPA-free and no plastic-smell transference. It's slim/tall proportions make it much more practical for actual storage than other containers. For example, it can be stood up against a wall and out of the way, or laid down flat and hidden out of sight beneath a bed. Because at it's maximum it is 7 gallons heavy, the two carrying handles it sports allows two people to transport the container if required. Very handy since 7 gallons is very heavy indeed. The outer shell is firm and sturdy and so there is no buckling when filled to capacity. It also comes with a spout which is easily turned toward the inside when not using. If the water you are storing is distilled it can be stored indefinitely inside this container.
