We have a blue water container that we got from Wal Mart. It holds 7(?) gallons. It has a spigot and air inlet. It cost < $10 I think. We want to pick up more for our stock.

I do NOT keep drinking water in it. We shop Costco for bulk bottled water (small Zephrylls bottles). We do it that way for several reasons. 1. Convienence 2. I don't have to 'sterilize' (read: clean exceptionally well) the container. I can have a small residue of bleach and not have to worry that I couldn't rinse it out well enough so that my family won't drink it. Hand washing.....wouldn't be a problem with a small amount left in it. It is also easier to 'cool' the small water bottles in coolers with ice. The large one.....too much to cool.

They are good for having the water you need for washing and the like. They also do NOT roll. They are hard sided "square" containers that stay put when placed on the counter. They haven't leaked on me yet. Even when we leave them on their side. We still leave them 'over the sink' just in case.

We have the collapsable 'clear' bulk 5 gallon 'camping' container with a spigot on one side of it. It's good to hold the 5 gallons.....it rolled off the counter and (luckily) into the sink. That is why we changed to the large blue one.

If you still want one for water...We have one that is from rubbermaid and sits in the fridge. I holds cold water....doesn't leak....and isn't too bad in washing out (though I do it in the bathtub since it fits well under the spout and rinses clean easier that way).....
