When it comes to adventures, emergency preparedness, or off-grid living, having a reliable source of clean water and secure food storage is paramount. The Sagan Life AquaBrick® Food and Water Storage Container 2-Pack Plus Spigot offers a unique and comprehensive solution for people on the go, outdoor enthusiasts, and those planning ahead for emergencies. This all-in-one system isn’t just another travel accessory—it’s designed to offer convenience, durability, and peace of mind by providing pure water on demand and versatile storage options.

In this article, we explore how the AquaBrick 2-Pack and spigot combination can be your ultimate travel companion for ensuring safe hydration, reliable food storage, and peace of mind, whether you’re camping, RVing, or preparing for the unexpected.

The AquaBrick: An Overview

At its core, the AquaBrick container is more than just a plastic storage unit. Designed with the needs of travelers, adventurers, and preppers in mind, the AquaBrick offers both water filtration capabilities and secure food storage in a compact, stackable format. Each container can hold:

• 3 gallons (11.35 liters) of water
• 20 pounds (9.07 kg) of food or dry goods

The 2-Pack Plus Spigot version combines two AquaBrick containers and includes an easy-pour spigot for added convenience. It turns any AquaBrick container into an instant water or beverage dispenser. Whether you’re setting up a campsite or embarking on a road trip, this system offers flexibility for storing water, filtering it when necessary, and dispensing it efficiently.

Why the AquaBrick Is Ideal for Travelers

3. Compact and Stackable Design – When you’re on the road, space is at a premium. Unlike bulky water tanks or loose bags of supplies, the AquaBrick’s modular shape and interlocking stackability make it easy to pack in your vehicle, boat, or RV. The containers are designed to nest securely, ensuring they won’t shift or topple during transport. The containers are completely airtight and crushproof! Watch the testing video to confirm this capability.
4. Use Case – Imagine you’re on a cross-country RV trip. With two AquaBricks stacked neatly in a storage compartment, you can access water and food without cluttering your space.
5. Food and Water Storage in One System – Instead of needing multiple containers for food and water, the AquaBrick provides a dual-use option. Originally crafted as long term storage containers, you can place water in one container and dry goods—such as rice, pasta, or freeze-dried meals—in the other. The wide-mouth opening makes it easy to load and retrieve contents, eliminating the frustration of digging through narrow openings. We also have our AquaBrick Funnel, a separate accessory that makes pouring in dry goods a real snap! Pro Tip: Label each AquaBrick to identify its contents—water or specific food items—so you can stay organized on the go.
6. Ergonomic Handle and Portability – Traveling often means lifting and moving supplies repeatedly. Each AquaBrick comes with a comfortable, easy-grip handle that makes carrying water or food more manageable. This is especially helpful for those camping or attending outdoor events where you need to shuttle water from one location to another.

Pure Water on Demand: AquaBrick with Optional Filtration

While the AquaBrick containers are perfect for storing clean water, what if you need to fill them with water from a questionable source while traveling? That’s where Sagan Life’s water filtration technology shines. With the DuraFlo® Filter, the AquaBrick transforms into a portable water purification system that removes bacteria, viruses, parasites, heavy metals, and other contaminants from non-saltwater sources. Our Component Kit allows you to quickly convert any AquaBrick into a fully fledged water purification system

The filtration capability ensures travelers have access to pure water, even in remote areas. Whether you’re collecting water from a lake, river, or campground spigot, the AquaBrick’s filter guarantees the water is safe to drink.

• Performance Highlights of the DuraFlo Filter:
  • Removes 99.9999% of bacteria (like E. coli)
  • Removes 99.99% of viruses
  • Filters up to 550 gallons (2080 liters) of water per filter
  • Removes heavy metals such as lead and arsenic

With the DuraFlo filtration system, you can confidently drink water directly from natural non-saltwater sources, eliminating the need to carry excessive amounts of bottled water during long trips.

Use Case: You’re hiking through a national park with limited access to treated water. Using the AquaBrick filter, you can collect water from a nearby stream and enjoy clean, safe drinking water on demand.

Convenient Water Dispensing with the Spigot

The included spigot attachment makes dispensing water from the AquaBrick easy and mess-free. Traditional water containers can be awkward to pour from, leading to spills and wasted water. The spigot solves this problem with a controlled flow mechanism, ideal for:

• Setting up a hydration station at the campsite
• Filling water bottles quickly without removing the cap
• Rinsing cooking gear or washing hands efficiently

Whether you’re hosting an outdoor picnic or need quick access to water on the go, the spigot provides an effortless and clean solution.

Travel Scenarios Where AquaBrick Excels

1. Camping and Hiking – Camping trips require a lot of preparation, especially when it comes to water supply. The AquaBrick allows campers to carry both potable water and essential food items in a single system. And with the DuraFlo filter option, hikers can access water wherever they go without worrying about contamination.
2. Road Trips and Van Life – If you’re living the van life or embarking on a road trip, the AquaBrick offers a space-saving way to store essentials. Its durable construction ensures it can withstand bumpy roads, and the spigot attachment makes it easy to fill water bottles on the go.
3. Boating and Off-Grid Adventures – Out at sea or in remote areas, access to clean water can be unpredictable. The AquaBrick provides peace of mind by storing water securely, with the added option of filtering water directly from natural sources. Its compact size also makes it perfect for small boats.

AquaBrick for Emergency Preparedness

While the AquaBrick excels in travel scenarios, it’s also an essential component of any emergency preparedness kit. In emergencies, such as natural disasters, clean water and food become critical. As long term food storage containers, the AquaBrick’s airtight seal keeps water and food safe from contamination and spoilage, ensuring they remain usable for extended periods.

Use Case: During a power outage or evacuation, the AquaBrick emergency storage containers can supply your family with water and food, giving you valuable time until resources are restored or help arrives.

Eco-Friendly Alternative to Bottled Water

Using the AquaBrick with a water filter also promotes sustainability by reducing reliance on single-use plastic bottles. Travelers can fill and refill the AquaBrick from various sources, minimizing their environmental impact. This makes it a great option for eco-conscious adventurers who want to explore responsibly.

The AquaBrick is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is both BPA-free and extremely tough. This means the containers can handle harsh outdoor conditions without cracking or degrading. Whether you’re navigating rough trails or dealing with extreme weather, the AquaBrick will hold up.
