Does the lid of the barrel come completely off, or just the caps on the top of the lid? I'd need to take the entire top off occasionally.

The lids wrap around the top of the barrels and comes sealed from the factory. I have 2 of these for long term emergency water storage. The better the seal on these barrels the longer water can be stored.

I've noticed that the rubber gasket that meets the barrel has a tendency to become loose and leak. Additionally, the faucet becomes loose when over used or bumped. To correct this problem I would advise using some super glue to seal everything as best you can. It's still a really good deal. Aside from the issues of maintaining a good seal the whole assembly works great!

There is a lock and this must be slid back. Then the "S" plastic across the top has to be turned fully. There are 3 spacers around the edges and you can see when they are lined up so that the top is unlocked. Sometimes this is difficult because of the debris that accumulates between the lid and the edge of the barrel. Once I needed my husband to turn the top to unlock it for me, but the rest of times I've been able to do it, but I have to put my body (weight) into the turn.

You have to have the top off or one of the valves on top open, also make sure you open the purge valve as well as taking cap off

No, the lid come off easily without removing the entire unit from the base. Works great!

Yes, the whole spout head comes off so you can clean debris out of the can and the spout.

The lid comes off but didn't notice any other parts. Could use a bottle brush

We have had no issue with the cap coming off. We purchased ours in June of 2014.

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

Ok here's the deal...the lid screws off but the shaker top does not screw off it pulls out. It took me a while to figure out myself. I hope you enjoy the product as much as I have!!

Hi Lulu!As you can see in the main/first image on the listing, the metal barrel screws off the pen and the tip is then able to be removed, which would also be where you place a new one on and then screw the barrel back in place. If there's anything else, just let me know.

I have trouble getting my cap off sometimes too. You need to pull hard on the bottom of the handle.

Press down on the Release button and then pull off. It is a bit rough at 1st but you will get it. Also, it helps if you hold opposite diagonal corners to pull off the lid.

The black seal shows at the top, that is where it separates. The cap pulls straight up and off at that point.

I haven't noticed but I wasn't looking for it. I usually like to leave the lid attached but sometimes if I go too far it comes completely off. I will check if I remember next time and then update here.
