Have one in hand...seems very sturdy. Looking forward to using it this summer. Was thinking I would just keep a hand pump handy for pressurizing.

Phil.....
This item didn't meet my expectations...
I've wanted to up grade from my Scepter can and solo pump for a while.
I really like the manual pump on the scepter set up, but after 7 years Im thinking of upgrading.
The bad.
Had one support bracket missing (needs 3 of them).
Some of the hardware is not rust proof.
Could use a better hose.
Once loaded its heavy, and I would hate to find out the mounting options are not up to par...
Im afraid it might snap right off or come loose.
I dont see this holding up well on dirt (washboard) roads, unless is empty, or inside of vehicle.
I used the hitch options, and played with the clamping it to the ARB bull bar upfront (just for kicks).
On the bull bar once you clamp on it I saw the plastic mounts starting to give way (the head bolt sink into the plastic mount).
If you are set up for OBA and have it set up, on demand, in your vehicle then great ( i dont)......
The good.
the unit itself is nice and rugged.
Great flow once it is pressurized (recommended less than 50psi).
I pumped up to 40 psi.
Recommended not to use water hotter than 140F.
Nice hose nozzle....
The handle makes it easy to move around.
It holds 3+ gal of water.
It's narrow, so it fits on the side of the cargo area if you have drawers.
the quick disconnect is great and has a shut off valve.....
Can be filled from the quick connect hose or from the top lid.
Not having used it on real life conditions I cant say is a bad product.....
but I can say it is not for me.....

Have you checked out the Rinsekit Lux? Similar product but just a different execution on it.

Used the waterport at Fruita this weekend and it was great! Filled it with water before we left, then used a bicycle pump to give it 30psi pressure when we needed to use it. Worked like a champ. The container is really heavy duty...as in thick plastic. Didn't get a chance to leave it in the sun to see if it heats up the water.
One thing I would be careful of is the hose attachment on the container. Being very heavy when full I was careful not to drop it or set it on the end where the attachment.

Hey everybody,
The waterport is back available for sale on Costco's site. It includes the pump cap, lock and what appears to be a spray nozzle holder that weren't included in the previous version. I believe the new price is $169.99 including shipping.

ive used ours. very handy. worth the $120.00 i paid for it.
Same here. Everytime I've taken it out I've used it for dishes, showers, etc. Right now I have it attached to my tow hitch but would like to throw it on the roof rack eventually.

I mounted mine to the rail system with the t rail nuts from Hondo Garage (good price and can install without taking anything else off to slide the nuts). The quick connect leaked and I just went to Lowe's and got a brass garden hose quick connect and it works fine now.
