Ogrmar240L/63.4Gallon Portable Water Storage Bladder Containers, Large Capacity Foldable Water Tank for Garden Water Catcher Including PVC Spigots and Overflow Kit, Emergency Water Storage Bag, Blue

Love this thing! Folds up for storage and holds alot of water! I use it for horse camping.

I read the same thing in other reviews, but the only downside to this bladder is it won't attach to a standard hose, you will need to get an additional piece to fit the two together. Otherwise perfect, I hooked this up to a solar pump to water my raised vegetable bed.

Good thick plastic/rubber material. Durable and well made. Great for storing water Works great

I water my garden every day with this on the back of a Lawn tractor

In preparing for emergencies, having a sufficient water supply is paramount. That's why I was eager to incorporate the Ogrmar 240L Water Storage Bladder into my emergency kit. This collapsible water tank offers a practical solution for storing large quantities of water in a compact and portable manner.One of the standout features of this water storage bladder is its space-saving design. When not in use, it occupies minimal space, making it easy to store alongside other emergency supplies. Despite its large capacity of over 60 gallons, it doesn't take up much room, which is ideal for those with limited storage space.The functionality of the bladder is simple yet effective. To use it, you position it in an elevated location to take advantage of gravity for dispensing water. While it can hold a significant amount of water when filled, weighing approximately 500 lbs, it's important to ensure that the chosen location can support the weight.The bladder is equipped with two capped outlets, offering convenience for filling and emptying. The top outlet facilitates easy filling, while the side outlet allows for effortless dispensing. This dual outlet design streamlines the process and ensures efficient water management.Durability is a key consideration for any emergency water storage container, and the Ogrmar bladder doesn't disappoint. Constructed from rugged PVC material with rubberized coatings, it boasts exceptional strength and resilience. The welded seams are reinforced to prevent leaks and ensure long-term reliability.One noteworthy feature is the bladder's ability to withstand potential damage. In the event of a puncture or pinhole, the PVC material can be easily patched with duct tape, providing a quick and effective solution to maintain its integrity.While the inclusion of four handles may seem puzzling at first, they offer added convenience during transportation and positioning. Although they may not be suitable for lifting the fully loaded bladder, they provide additional gripping points for maneuvering the empty bladder into place. The bladder comes with a variety of adapters and a quarter-turn ball valve for added versatility. While these accessories enhance its functionality, users may need to acquire a specific coupling for use with a standard garden hose.In terms of practical use, I plan to deploy the bladder during times when access to water may be limited, such as during wildfires or utility disruptions. By pre-filling the bladder with water, I can ensure a readily available non-potable water source for tasks like flushing toilets or outdoor cleaning.The Ogrmar 240L Water Storage Bladder exceeds expectations in terms of functionality, durability, and convenience. Its compact design, robust construction, and user-friendly features make it an invaluable addition to any emergency preparedness kit. For anyone seeking a reliable solution for storing large quantities of water in emergency situations, this bladder is an excellent choice.

It's only 43 gallons.Also somehow there's a flap or something which intermittently blocks water outflow. I have to blow in to restart the flow.

Different people will use this in different ways. One way is to have 60 gallons of water "on hand". You could set this up in a corner in the basement, fill it, and just leave it there in case of emergency.I'm a farmer and I will use this to move water to plantings that I can't reach from a hose from the house or barn. Being able to move 60 gallons at once is HUGE. I currently use five, 5 gallon buckets. That's only 25 gallons and there is a lot of lifting needed. This fits in the bed of my Ranger and will weigh 480 pounds - well within the load limits of that machine. I will fill it in the bed and then use the water from a hose - no lifting and 60 gallons, not 25.In order to use this storage bladder, you will need a few things. I'll itemize them here - see the pictures to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.Filling The BladderIn order to fill it, you will need to modify a hose. In the pictures you will see a standard male hose fitting by the filler port. It's too large to fit inside. That said, you could *carefully* direct the stream and probably fill it, but with spillage. I cut a short hose (a 5 foot) in half to solve this. In the pictures you'll see a cutoff hose end by the filler port. It fits right in. The other end is a female end which will screw on to a hose.Using The WaterIt comes with several adapters, and the nice shutoff valve. The shutoff valve screws on to the fitting on the bladder. So far so good! But I need to get that water to flow through a hose. Again, checking the pictures, you'll see that I used the gray, barbed adapter, on the shutoff, and then attached a section of garden house to that with a clamp. That is the other half of the hose that I used for the filler section. That part of the hose has a male end and you can connect a hose to that and then a watering wand or whatever you want to use to the hose.I'm rating this 4 stars because the mfg should have made this easier to use. 1. A larger fill port would have allowed you to just use your regular hose to fill. 2. A male hose fitting for the shutoff would have allowed you to just attached your hose. Those two changes would have eliminated the need to buy a hose, cut it, and then use those two sections. This bladder is so useful, I only took off 1 Star - getting the short hose and fabricating it so that I can fill and use the water is worth it.

This year I planted a garden behind my house. I use this bladder on top of a garden cart to bring water to the garden rather than having hoses stretched out. It is easy to fill and is sturdy. So far I haven't experienced any leaks.
