That is because the top doesn't come off (or not off easily). So I put considerable quantity of water in. Rolled it about and drained it into my garden. It seemed clean and not smelly, but I felt compelled to try to be sanitary. **Q: There is a listing for pack of 1 and pack, what is a pack? is a pack 1 55 gallon drum?** A: From what I can make out of it, the 'pack' is simply the combination of units for sale. A 1 pack is a single drum - a 2 pack is two drums. There are other combinations of the drum and accessory packs to go with it - do some research, and you should find the same drum for around a hundred dollars, free shipping. **Q: Does this barrel have a removable lid?** A: No. It has a cap and the siphon attaches to the cap. We've had these for a couple of years now and always hope we never have to use them. **Q: What measure is a drum?** A: 55 gallon is the top mark. Graduated in 5 gallon incrementally. At the 55 gallon mark you can put another 5 gallons in, up to the fill hole. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ No se puede abrir está cerrado, solo tiene 2 orificios *by L***S on 21 June 2022* No se puede abrir está cerrado, solo tiene 2 orificios ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be prepared. *by G***R on 18 September 2021* Great product. I like it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beware of the seller you choose. Get this from Amazon as the seller. *by H***Z on 4 January 2026* This is a heavy-duty, quality water storage barrel. But beware, the seller you choose matters. Pay the extra for Amazon. It will be the barrel pictured and delivered in a box. If you order from Ironclad, it will NOT be the barrel from Augasons and it will be delivered bare with just a shipping label slapped on the side. Thus, the many reviews where one or both of the plugs are missing. That does not happen with the boxed barrel. ## Frequently Bought Together - Augason Farms 55-Gallon Water Storage Barrel, BPA Free, Emergency Water Supply - TERA PUMP Food Grade BPA Free Emergency Disaster 55-Gallon Drum Pump Heavy Duty Barrel Siphon (5.5 gpm) Drinking Water Hand Pump - 55 Gallon Water Preserver Concentrate (5 years) Water Treatment Drops - Water Treatment For Drinking Water - Mayday Emergency Drinking Water - Defiance Fuel Water - Earthquake Water, Emergency Storage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/365319031-water-storage-barrel-55-gallon-drum](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/365319031-water-storage-barrel-55-gallon-drum) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
