## Overview

The 5 Gallon Samson Stackers are a versatile emergency water storage solution, featuring eight stackable containers that hold a total of 40 gallons.

Designed for portability and convenience, these stackers are perfect for home, garage, or outdoor adventures.

## Description

Water NOT included 5 gallon water storage containers, 8 pack (approx 40 gallons total). Portable Stackable Food-grade plastic. Included caps (1 per container, 6 total) have gaskets and 3/4 NPT knockouts for use with the included spigot (qty 1 spigot per kit). If desired, carefully remove the membrane in the center of one of the caps and install the spigot. Once the content of the first container are depleted, this cap can be moved on to the next. These are industrial grade containers used in a variety of applications. The lids are to be tightened firmly. A wrench (one included) or similar tool is typically required to snug and loosen the cap. Stackable three to four high per the manufacturer but we advise two or three high subject to your good judgement and safety considerations. The vent cap can be removed and the nipple pierced to improve flow in dispensing. The side walls may not be flat. While generally rectangular, some amount of curvature of the side walls is common. This may be noticeable if using your Samson Stackers on their sides as with a spigot, Refer to FEMA advise on container preparation for water storage applications. New product arrives clean and in a box. There are no “BPA free” markings on the container as BPA is not used in HDPE containers.

## Features

- PORTABLE: Drums are great but you can't take them with you. Compact storage in handy 5-gallon units. Garage to pickup to kitchen counter to campsite, your emergency water is now a portable resource.
- STACKABLE: Geometry on the top of each container aligns with contours on the bottom for convenient stacking (ref detailed description below). Each container is approximately 11.25" x 10" x 14.25" tall with the top approximately 1/4" engaging with the bottom of a stacked container,
- SAFE: High Density PolyEthylene (HDPE) is a preferred polymer. HDPE is not a candidate for BPA, a reassurance for those of use requiring BPA free containers. The industry term is "BPA non-intent". The resin is USA sourced and FDA compliant. ...that means 'food grade' to the rest of us.
- ACCESSORIES: Your Samson Stackers will come with a factory installed dust plug that can be discarded when ready to use (see details below). Each container also includes a gasketed cap with Rieke (TM) style exterior geometry. The reusable caps also have a tamper evidencing lock ring that will break away after first use. The caps are center threaded 3/4" NPT with a membrane that can be cut away for use with a spigot. Each kit includes one spigot. Each kit also includes one wrench to fit the caps.
- PROVEN: These are industrial grade containers used by manufacturers and packagers to ship a variety of materials and food products. The reputable Samson Stackers are Made in the USA by API/Kirk. Shipping is included in the Price.

    Sturdy, Stackable, and Portable!!
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020*

We bought these containers for emergency preparedness and we are glad we did. I did a lot of research on water containers and this product stood out for it's quality. This is a great product!What do I like best:● they are very sturdy● they hold 5 gallons● they are stackable● we can take them on the go● they are safe (food grade FDA compliant)● dual use feature (storage only or  use with spigot)What's good to know:● 1 gallon of water weighs approximately 8 lbs. (full container = 40lbs.)●if you use the spigot you have to punch out the center of one of the caps● we stack them 3 rows high● they may be stacked  4 rows high (one photo below will show this, but we stacked it only for the photo to show you – use your own discretion especially where safety is concerned)● to use the spigot you must turn the container on it's sideSome helpful hints:We did not notice any initial smell but we let the containers air out for 72 hours prior to first use to eliminate any stagnant air or odor that may have remained as a result of the production process. Prior to first use we rinsed out the containers using a solution of water and vinegar. We tag the containers as part of our storage plan rotating the water after every 6 months. When the 6 month limit arrives we filter the water for daily use, and when the container is empty we wash it using the water and vinegar solution. This process works great and ensures that we always have filtered water for daily use, as well as stored water in clean containers for times of emergency.While the 40 lbs weight may be challenging to some, it may prove worthwhile to buy the 5 gal containers and fill them to a capacity which weighs what you can handle. Why should you do that? It may be cost effective and if so you will have the extra capacity option available should you ever want to use it.If you intend to use the spigot you may want to check out the accessory kit that is offered. After punching out the center of the cap you will be left with one container without a solid cap if you do not plan otherwise.Would I buy this product again? Yes, for sure. Oh wait, I already did. You can see in the photos that we have 16 containers (2 different orders). I don't think we are done yet, and this is our go to product for drinkable water storage!!!

    These are what you want for disaster preparedness.
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2019*

I bought 16 of these, (80 gal.,) for emergency/disaster home water supply. I'll say that they were a little more expensive from this vendor than the one I was originally going to purchase from. But that vendor went out of stock, and I couldn't wait.These guys/girls had free shipping also, and they got here fast. Like, almost a week early, fast, from the projected date.So, the bricks. These are food grade plastic. They are thick plastic, and well made. If you really had to you could stack four high, and their structural integrity would hold. I suggest not going higher than three. It's just safer, when you think about the tipping factor. In a four stack, you're almost certainly going lose the top one from the impact if the stack falls.They stack firmly, so that's not the issue. But I live in earthquake country, so the struggle is real. The caps are sturdy, but buy the wrench. If your doing long term storage, you want those caps on tight. The mouths are plenty big enough that you don't really need to use the pressure relief cap on the back side of the brick. However, if you do want to use it, be aware that they come un-drilled under the little white threaded cap. Not a big deal. You can drill them out with a hand drill. Start with a bit about a third smaller than the hole, and work your way up.I don't see any need for the pressure relief, so I left them intact. One less thing to worry about in keeping it air tight, and it leaking. NOTE: DRILL THEM OUT BEFORE FILLING THEM. Otherwise, you're going to have plastic bits in your water supply.So far, I'm happy with everything. And when I buy more, I'll buy from these guys/girls even though it's a few bucks more. They proved themselves with both the shipping time, and the product being of the quality it should be. This not something you want to skimp on if it's for emergencies.

    Quality - worth the price
  

*by B***X on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016*

At about $20 per container, I was really scrutinizing this against other containers. I refused to go full-on Big Blue Barrel because those are REALLY impractical for our home and the ones I've seen in other homes don't seem to have lids that would hold out contaminants. My in-laws have them and they spit water out the lids when they're moved, which concerns me. Smaller jugs like these are less likely to have that issue because they're not under the same strains. And even if one is contaminated, you'd lose 5 gallons instead of 55 AND replacing it would be much simpler.As others have said, these are also very convenient when it comes to storage space and moveability. For small containers I would trust to hold water well, this came out on top by a long shot in design and price (I also compared with other websites).I ordered it Tuesday morning. Amazon estimated between 2-4 weeks shipping. Had it by Thursday afternoon.Going to give some of these as gifts and keep the rest.
