Well, I though this looked just the thing and about the right size capacity. So I bought one. Mixed feelings about it though.
It's quite well made, and a good plastic density for something not entirely rigid. That is, it probably wont burst from water weight, or puncture that easily.
However, when full of water, it doesn't stand up while you fill it, the bottom seems to be rounded, so you have to hang onto it or it falls over. Also, when on its side so you can use the tap it leaks from the screw joint. This is because the screw on tap is hard plastic, the part it screws onto is softer plastic. Don't know how to fix that.
Apart from that I'd like to keep it rather than send it back, so if you can think of anything to stop it leaking from the tap, I'd appreciate it! LOL!
Here's the photo's, I put a coffee mug next to it so you can gauge the size.
