WaterPORT 4.0 Gallon Self-Pressurized Water Tank for Camping Showers, Bumper Mount or Bed Mount Vehicle Water Storage for Trucks & Off Road Vehicles

I’ve had the Waterport for a few months now and used it for the first time this past weekend. I’m not sure what happened to the hose port valve threading but I couldn’t get the attachment to stay on. Every time I pumped, the hose would leak then blow off. I looked closer at the threading and it looks like it was partially stripped so the attachment won’t stay on and if it does, it leaks and there’s no water pressure from the hose. I asked the seller (Scott) if I would be able to get a replacement if I send this one back? Or can it be fixed if possible? Scott said that shouldn't have happened and is sending me a replacement. Very good product and even better customer service.

I’ve used this on 2 trips now and it works great. I have a 2018 Jeep Rubicon and it fits snugly under the spare on the trailer hitch. It has to be put inside when I go off road but it’s compact enough to slide inside without taking much room. I highly recommend this for overland trips/camping.

Overall I like my unit, but like with all camping water systems it has it's drawbacks. Here are some things to consider before buying: 1. This does not come with a mount for a roof rack system AT ALL. They say universal mounting system, and while that is true to an extent, most of the components you need for most of the mounting options are sold separately. The only mount it comes with is the 2" hitch mount. I saw this in other reviews so I was expecting this but hoping it wasn't the case. 2. This thing pretty much requires an air compressor to use. Due to basic physics, if you fill it near full, it will run out of pressure quickly, because there is not as much room in the tank to fill with compressed air. I found that I would need to re-pressurize my unit at about half tank to get the remaining water out. You CAN hand pump it, but keep in mind that option is not for the impatient, lazy or the limp wristed and lemme tell you I am at least 2 of 3 of those on a GOOD day. 12v air compressor is almost a must for this unit. 3. How long do you want to be out, and can you carry extra water with it? This thing really is a DAY tank, it is meant for going and rinsing your feet off at the beach, or for a campsite where you have access to water daily. if you want to get multiple days of showers and dishes out of this thing you will either a.) need to buy one of the larger WaterPORT systems (which really kind of detracts from the benefits of the tanks portability/versatility versus Yakima Road Shower,) or b.) bring extra jerry cans to pour into the tank, which honestly is not a bad modular option and will be the option I go with in the future. I had to refill this twice on a 3 day, 2 night trip. Things I liked about the tank: -Water pressure is intense (Drawback being it eats through water faster.) -Portable and versatile -Easy to fill from spigot or hose -Hitch mounting option comes in clutch on my new truck -Black color so water heats naturally -The hose and quick lock components are a bit more robust than the reviews led me to believe. Although you do have to be careful when tank is under pressure. I wonder if WaterPORT upped their build quality after some bad reviews -At the end of the day, it did do the job for pretty darn cheap

I read one reviewer who said they pressurized it to 60 psi and had a seal fail. There is a warning label that says 40 psi max. I have only used it a few times, but I'm impressed with how long it maintains a pressurized spray. I think I only had to re-pressurize it once to empty the tank. My issue is how to mount it. I don't have a roof rack and it will break if I use it on my trailer hitch off-road because of the height from the ground to the tank. No issues with on-road use with a trailer hitch. My friend has the larger version on his roof rack and WOW, warm/hot water shower heated by the sun is fantastic! For now I carry it inside my car and fit it to the hitch when in use. Sadly no solar heated water 😢 Might be the entire reason to get a roof rack.

Bought three 3.8 gallon units. That's $1,000.00 worth of water containers. Two have had the seal fail at the bottom of the threads for the cap after less than 20 uses. I've lost $600.00 in less than two weeks. Waterport advertises tanks can be pressurized up to 40 psi via the valve stem. I used a compressor to pressurize to 25 pounds, no more. Checked my pressure regulator and it is accurate so I am not over pressurizing. First tank failed after 3 weeks of use. Second tank just failed after 2 weeks of use. Have not tried the third one yet. Shame because it's a great idea. These first two were not manufactured properly. Not sure if it is systemic to all, or a frequent problem. Mine were cool for a very short amount of time. That's a lot of money to waste.

Convenient to do dishes and wash your hands during camp- I personally wish it had more water capacity that can last me at least 3 days camping- would not recommend to shower, do dishes etc in one full tank unless you have a clean water source near you- but it can work just fine individually for all the scenarios mentioned above. Otherwise great little water source- some water connections have plastic ends- it makes me think that they can easily give in if(break if not handled properly)

The lid started leaking air after about one month of regular use. Did everything as instructed and for some reason the lid started leaking after fill ups which it no longer holds air. I believe with a new lid it will work properly. Perhaps the plastic warped or seal shrank but it never sat in the sun or was left filled over 2 days time. Always use it and clean it and it is awesome when it holds pressure.

I don’t have a picture to share but the water port is definitely sturdy and durable. If you have your own air compressor you can add pressurized water. It’s good for multiple purposes! When you go camping. Driving on the beach washing the sand off your car! It’s just a really good product

Product got imported from the US. Bought it because I thought it was a whole set, as this was shown in the description picture. The pump cap was NOT included. So I will have to spend another 50 EUR to make my water port usable for offgrid camping. All in all this is way too expensive for just a water canister.

Beware that you wouldn't receive a full set with the pressurized tap, hitch bracket and holster. The only bits I received with my order was the tank, the head shower and one hose connection, very disappointed when I received it as from the pictures and description it says it comes with all the accessories.

Le produit est génial en soit. C'est mon 2eme, ici au Canada, j'en ai un autre au Mexique. Mais j'ai reçu le carton en très mauvais état, sans protection et avec une pièce manquante. Sans clé Allen pour le montage. Je ne recommande pas ce vendeur mais je recommande le produit,
