Does anyone use one of the jerry cans intended for water with these? What ones fit the best?

I have a nato green water can (Plastic) that works well, a little tight but it does not bounce when 1/2 full.

I've used the Spectre potable blue jerry can (plastic.) I typically don't fill it all of the way up and have to squeeze it with the lid open to get it to fit in this holder. Other than that, it works. Please note that the locking bracket will not work with the blue jerry can.

Yes, I had an old steel GI can designed for water that fit in it perfect. I think they make a blue reproduction that should fit the same. They sell them at jerrycan.com I'm not sure how the top latch that secures the can will fit. If it doesnt fit I'd just ditch the top bracket and pick up some ratchet straps from harbor freight

http://www.lifesaverusa.com/water-purification-systems. They have the spare filters for the jerry can and the hose to convert to the shower. They also are looking for help with the Philippines disaster to supply these jerry cans there. That is the reason that these things were developed.

I don't think they are designed to be watertight. For that, I would expect a rubber gasket. I've had no trouble keeping juicy fruit or Ketchup out of neighboring compartments, though. And I didn't notice any changes over time.

Original ones have a narrow rectangular opening. "Straw-Tek" ones have the amazing straw-insertion technology of the diamond-shaped opening. I was under the impression that they had switched from the original design to exclusively make the ones with the opening that a plastic straw can fit through but have not confirmed this.

Fits mine great. Comes in two sizes. One for indoor use and one for larger outdoor garbage cans.

As long as you close the lid they do not leak. The straw fits in the lift tab I do have a problem closing and opening the lift tab because I have arthritis and I'm old, a normal person would have no problem.

I use them on my growlers. I haven't had to change them yet. I've had mine for 6 months but I mostly use it to tote to yoga.

Yes you can waterbath can using these lids. the reason I use them is for jam and jelly that I am gifting to someone. They can use what they want and then screw the cap back on and refrigerate.

I've tried the single size water bottles and also the liter size cola bottles. Water drains out right away so I have not been able to use them. I live in Arizona and if I leave town, they don't work for longer than a day.

Sorry Rona, I just tried mine and none of them fit. Some grocery stores have lids hanging in the soda isle that fit soda cans. Take a look next time your in the store. Good luck.Maryelen in Vermont

I've used about 50 of these lids so far.. I have noticed that on some pods these refillable lids fit pretty darn tight. BUT you can get them to fit. On other k-cup pods they fit perfectly, so obviously all of the K-cup pods are not created equal. I haven't had any problem with these leaking or letting the grounds through.. I am happy with lids, of all the refillable lids and caps(and I've tried a few of them) these work the best.

I think the best is go to their site. http://ezpourspout.com/compatible-cans/compatible-cans/

Yes. I have several of these, and I use 2-liter bottles on all of them. Dr. Pepper bottles seem to work the best, as they have a reinforced structure which holds up to the suction pressure. In other words, they won't cave in as the water gets low. Works like a charm.

Yep. Dont expect a secure fit though. If you pick up the can and squeeze too hard, the lid will come off. It's good enough to keep contents from drying out if you left it in the fridge or something.

The lid seals pretty tight with a nice fit, but I am unsure if the are water tight. Maybe if your devices were protected in plastic to prevent erosion they may be what you want.

No. It's awkward to try and fit a couple 12 oz beer bottles so I think a large water bottle would be a bad fit. It's really suited for cans.

I have found these fit on just about every can I have. Use them on 1 gallon, 2 gallon and 5 gallon cans. No issues with the fit.
