Fresh Water Canisters
If you are travelling to campsites or spending long periods outdoors, Fresh Water Canisters are essential. These portable, food-safe containers keep drinking water clean and ready to use, from compact day trips to extended touring.
Fresh Water Canisters For Camping
Choose capacity and form to match your crew size, trip length and storage space. From 5 l day canisters to 30 l options for families, pick a model that balances supply, weight and handling comfort.
Wide-Neck Canisters
A wide opening simplifies filling, cleaning and tablet dosing. They are ideal when you often refill at campsite taps or prefer quick visual checks.
Canisters With Tap
An integrated tap allows controlled dispensing at the pitch or in the awning kitchen. Pair with a short food-grade hose to reduce splashing and waste.
Find The Right Water Canister
Decide between rigid canisters, foldable water bags and flat shapes. Rigid canisters are durable and stackable, water bags save space when empty, and flat designs slide under seats or beds.
Water Bags
Lightweight and collapsible, they pack down small after use. Choose models with reinforced handles for easier transport from the tap to your vehicle.
Flat Canisters For Under-Bed Storage
Low-profile canisters maximise space in lockers or the boot while keeping weight low and central for better handling on the road.
Food-Safe Materials And Leak-Proof Design
Look for canisters made from robust, food-safe plastic with odour-neutral inner walls. Screw caps with gaskets and secure vents help prevent leaks in transit.
Portable And Easy To Carry
Moulded grips, shoulder straps or trolley-friendly shapes reduce strain when moving 10–30 l of water. Always lift with two hands for heavier loads.
Compatible Accessories
Match openings and threads to filler hoses, spouts and strainers to keep refilling clean and efficient at varied campsite connections.
Cleaning And Care Of Fresh Water Canisters
Rinse before first use, refresh the water regularly and sanitise periodically to maintain taste and safety. Always empty and dry the canister after trips.
Water Hygiene Basics
Store in a cool, dry place and keep caps closed to avoid dust and bacterial growth. Use food-grade cleaners and follow dosage instructions.
Winterising And Storage
Before frost, drain completely and leave caps loosely open for ventilation. A quick spring flush gets you ready for the season.
Choosing Capacity And Shape For Fresh Water Canisters
As a guide, plan 3–5 l per person per day for drinking and cooking. Solo travellers often prefer 10–15 l; families on longer stays may need 20–30 l plus a spare.
Transport And Handling Tips
Use canister racks or straps to secure loads in the boot. Keep heavy canisters low and near the axle to protect payload and stability.
