American Maid 3 Gallon Empty Refillable Water Bottle, Blue

Well, long story, but I can help you learn something new. So, a year ago I bought this wonderful water cooler/heater/dispenser. A nice, black one. It was doing great until sometime after June 27th when my boyfriend was in the hospital dying. Suddenly, it began to leak under the tiles of the floor. I drained it, pitched it out in the yard, and dragged it to the trash bin and threw it in. Then I bought another one immediately, thinking my boyfriend might come back home to me and he would need the cold water. It was a frigidaire. Same thing happened. Within 12 hours, there was water all over the floor. I drained it, too, put it back in the box, then took it to walmart for a refund. i WAS ALREADY MAD BECAUSE THE DELIVERY PERSON LEFT IT OUTSIDE MY GATE WHERE ANYONE COULD STEAL IT. Well, I went home and ordered a third one. This time I got a Great Value one. Mercifully, it began leking almost immediately, so I drained it and thought, "I should go to youtube and see how to fix it." Turns out, it was the water bottle. All repair people said 99% of the time, the bottle gets an imperceptible crack in the bottom of it then it forces the water to overflow onto the floor. So, I ordered this water bottle and yeah. Problem resolved. Too bad my boyfriend passed away on July 19th. He is supposed to be drinking this cold water with me, I thought, but I guess the Good Lord had other plans for him and needed him back home more than I needed him here.

I searched high and low for a round 3 gallon jug to make a marker buoy. I could find none. This bottle is heavy duty, the strongest I have seen, has a solidly mounted handle and at the price with free ship to store no way to beat the deal. Used it as a marker buoy (after painting it orange with Krylon Plastic Paint) on my fishing trip last weekend. It worked great.
