AquaBrick vs. WaterBrick 

So should I buy it?

LOL - but you failed to read the amazon reviews on Aquabricks?? Great research! You'd have found that Aquabricks are notorious for leaking lids. A constant issue for many years, that has yet to be resolved. So while Aquabricks may have some advantages over Waterbricks, the fact that they leak just removes them from even being a viable and reliable option. So yea, having to settle for waterbricks is not ideal, but at least their basic function of storing water without leaking is good.

@@abc123def98 Hmm.. my comment is from nearly 2 years ago (around July 2019) and I bought my 5 AquaBricks around the same time. 4 out of the 5, I use for emergency storage laying on their side, have never leaked, even been through a rough moving day without leaking. The 5th I've taken camping several times and hasn't leaked, except a tiny little if I don't tighten the lid fully when the spigot is in. Other than that, no issues. So I'm a little surprised to hear about a serious leaking issue. And of course I read the Amazon reviews and reviews on SaganLife website when I bought my AquaBricks, basically no reviews at the time had mention of a leaking problem. Out of curiosity I just took a look at the SaganLife Amazon page. Out of 105 reviews for 4 of their products selling AquaBricks, only about 15 total mention leaks as an issue, and most of those are from 2020 and later, long after I purchased mine. Reading through them, seems like some people might not be fully tightening the lids all the way, which is causing their leaky problems. Additionally, I bought mine directly from the SaganLife website; Amazon sellers although they may use a brands name to sell/describe an item, might not have any official affiliation with the brand. So it's anyone's guess if you are getting a quality product or a used/returned one. Fyi. All said, I've been very happy with my Aquabricks. :)

Any support for this so I can confirm?

@@NOOBKILLER052 look at Amazon reviews

I agree it's a 1-sided review. I especially noted that when the reviewer mentioned the disadvantage of small amounts of UV light penetrating the WaterBrick but not the advantage of quickly seeing the volume level of anything inside. Perhaps that advantage isn't as important, but was definitely worth mentioning. While I haven't stood on either of the bricks, I do know that the AquaBrick is also stackable. That's why there are 2 circular tabs on one side and mirrored indents on the other. WaterBrick's passthrough circles could definitely help stack more stably if you're using a specially designed rack, but it's not as if the AquaBrick isn't designed to stack at all. Gotta be fair if we're advocating against 1-sided reviews ;-)

@@joshj3787 Your comment made me curious. I searched AquaBrick's site and couldn't find anything on stackable while filled with water. I found a reference to see their "user manual", which took me back to the same purchase page (no manual). I sent an email and did get a response. They suggest stacking no more than 5 high while filled with water. On the other hand, the WaterBrick, marked clearly on their site, recommends no higher than 48 inches which means 8 bricks high. Just an FYI should you or anyone else be interested... Enjoy,

@@jtrourke667 Really appreciate that!

Equip 2 Endure did torture tests on both products. Aquabrick survived everything. Including getting run over by an SUV. Waterbrick didn't survive the drop test. I just ordered aquabrick.

@@michaelfranciotti3900 Interesting. Just watched the same vid. Drops the WaterBrick on its corner, while Aquabrick on the flat. Demonstrates stacks the Aquabricks. Moves around the table as the stack shifts around. Doesn't repeat with Waterbrick (cause it stacks better) Mentions you can stack Aquabrick 4 high, doesn't mention WaterBrick can stack 8 high. Does the drive onto the Aquabrick, and doesn't repeat with the WaterBrick (again, cause it would do better). The devil is in the details. When they are sponsored by the product, look a little closer. Get past the cleaver editing and look for a real one to one compare.

Nope I just work for a store that has sold both versions giving my opinion. Look us up, BeReadyInc.com

Can you give the reason why you prefer the waterbrick?

@@knothead35 I don't have aquabricks, but from my perspective, these are all first-world problems in the video. The waterbrick holds more and is more durable when stacked, due to those "annoying columns" he mentioned. You can also put PVC or ABS pipes through the water bricks to make them sturdier when stacked.

@@knothead35 The biased review of this video is probably because Aquabricks sent him that stuff for free. What he fails to mention is how Aquabricks are notorious for leaking at the lid. Just read all the amazon reviews. THey are horrible with quality control, and cannot even get their lids to properly work. So as they do have some advantages over waterbricks, the fact that they leak, just makes them not a viable option. Thus, we have to settle with Waterbricks, which actually function properly.

EXACTLY! All these reviews of Aquabricks are paid for, and they NEVER touch on the issues of lid leaking. Just look at the amazon reviews. Constant issues with leaking. Makes us have to settle on WaterBricks instead.

@@abc123def98 ameritards.... just put a litte oliveoil onto the cap seal

It is the BEST water filter on the market. Especially for urban emergencies! Research Sagan water filters.

Adam Cabacungan Thanks so much. Will do.

Google it, don’t be lazy

Same here. Also how is their customer service?

O M G , STFU, are you serious , when the planet is 70% water , not counting the water in the air wich can be harvested also, you really need to get a life

Except your Aquabricks leak at the lid lol. Now you've been bamboozle'd twice. Yet you probably won't admit about the leak. But we all know its a common issue. Just read the amazon reviews. Constant issues with lids. This makes us have to settle with WaterBricks.

STFU, GET A LIFE
