Is this container safe for holding/storing water?

I wouldn't use it for water storage. It's great for flour and sugar and other dry goods but there are much better options for water storage available.

I would personally just use those 5 gallon jugs for holding water. The container serves it's purpose, but the seal is not rubber. It's some foam textured seal.

I've never tried putting water in to see if it would leak. I would call the manufacturer and ask them to be sure. Just Google Iris. I've called them before.

It would hold water easily but I'd be concerned the plastic would rip off you tried to carry it with the water in it. For holding water, for sure it would work well.

my containers hold the liquid with no problem. I freeze liquid in it but if they fall they will break and crack.

I put water in one of the containers and turned it upside down several times and it didn't leak, but no guarantees. Hope that helps.

That is exactly what I bought it for.I have rinsed it out and ran water and bleach through it for 3 days. storing water now, i will test the drink-ability in a month.however if/when the water supply runs out, i'm sure it'll be fine.hehe

No, it is not large enough to store an extra bottle of water. And my water cooler is broken already, less than 6 months old.

I really not sure, however, I have had some for years and seemed always to be fine.Sorry not more help, but I have had no problem. I would keep lid tight and keep dry.

It's not watertight, so use a bag. If the bag leaks it will be on the floor. I don't care as it's slim, beautiful, and fits my needs.

That is what I wanted to know...... It is very helpful to know that it leaks if it is stored horizontally. Thanks.

I store mine in an airtight container and have not had any problems thus far.

As long as the containers are not cracked or damaged they would hold water because there are no holes in them.

It is not an exceptional seal - it is very similar to a typical plastic top bucket (like what people will display shoes or keep toys in). I don't believe it would hold water, but for dog food - as long as it is in a dry place should work okay.

I stored one in my home in the box for about 1 month and it was just fine. It is wrapped in plastic and I would think that if you keep it in a dry environment it would be ok. Hope this helps.

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.

I was unsure myself, so I performed an experiment with water. The water leaked through into the 2 smaller compartments; however, due to using water, maybe a more viscous liquid would not leak? I would air on the side of caution, and not place liquid in the container unless you are able to keep it flat all day.

I believe so yes.Just ensure the seal is rightly placed.I used mine to store alcohol soaked fruit and no issues.

The holder works pretty well. It does keep the water cold but if it's a very hot day, I do put ice in my water to keep it colder.
