Features & Specifications
Is the Aqua 22L Jerry Can safe for storing drinking water?
Absolutely. The tank is constructed from heavy-duty, food-grade, BPA-free LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene). This ensures your water remains clean and safe for showering, rinsing, and general campsite use.
How durable is the tank for rugged outdoor use?
It's built tough for Aussie conditions. The tank features an ultra-thick 5mm wall, providing superior impact and puncture resistance. The outer shell is also UV-stabilised to resist sun damage, cracking, and brittleness, ensuring a long service life in harsh environments. The matte anti-slip surface helps prevent it from shifting during transit.

Setup & Usage
How do I set up and use the Jerry Can tap?
Setup is tool-free and takes seconds:
- Locate the integrated 1/2" BSPT male outlet port on the lower section of the tank.
- Take the included tap valve and connect it directly onto the outlet, ensuring it clicks firmly into place to create a watertight seal.
- To operate, simply turn the lever on the valve to the open or closed position.
How do I get a good water flow using the gravity tap?
The system relies on gravity. For a smooth, steady flow whilst using a hose, you need to elevate the tank. Place it on a stable, raised surface like a vehicle roof rack, canopy, or a campsite table. The specialised vented cap on the filling port allows air to enter as water flows out, preventing a vacuum and ensuring a continuous stream.
Can I connect my own shower hose or other accessories?
Yes. The tank features a universal 1/2" BSPT quick-connect fitting. This offers plug-and-play compatibility with most standard RV, caravan, and camping water system hoses and accessories.
Maintenance & Safety
How should I clean and maintain the Aqua 22L Jerry Can?
Proper cleaning is essential for maintaining water quality:
- Before First Use: Always wash and deep clean the interior through the large 95mm filling port.
- Water Type: Only store clean water in the tank.
- Cleaning Agents:Never use chemical solvents, fuels, or harsh/toxic cleaning agents as they can permanently degrade the food-grade interior surface.
- Vented Cap: Regularly check that the vented cap is clear of dirt and obstructions to ensure smooth water flow.
Can I leave the tank in direct sunlight?
Yes, the tank is UV-stabilised to withstand harsh sun. However, be aware that solar absorption can naturally heat the water inside to high temperatures.
Warning: Always test the water temperature carefully before showering or rinsing to avoid scalding.
What precautions should I take in freezing weather?
This is critical for preventing damage. If you expect the tank to be exposed to freezing conditions, you must drain it completely. Water expands when it freezes, which can cause structural splitting and permanent damage to the tank body and fittings.
