The Seachem HydroTote™ is a highly durable, collapsible water jug designed specifically for the aquarium hobbyist. It is the ideal solution for those who need to transport or store RO/DI water, saltwater, or mixed supplements but have limited storage space. Unlike rigid plastic carboys, the HydroTote™ can be collapsed down to a fraction of its size when not in use, making it perfect for apartments or crowded fish rooms.
The HydroTote™ is engineered to withstand the rigors of frequent water changes and trips to the local fish store.
Collapsible Space-Saver: Folds up easily when empty, allowing you to store multiple jugs in the same space as one traditional rigid container.
High-Strength Material: Constructed from heavy-duty polyethylene that is BPA-free and food-grade, ensuring no chemicals leach into your pristine aquarium water.
Ergonomic Handling: Features a reinforced, easy-grip handle and a sturdy pour spout for controlled, splash-free water changes.
Leak-Proof Seal: Equipped with a high-quality threaded cap that provides a reliable, vacuum-tight seal during transport in your vehicle.
Available Sizes: Offered in two convenient capacities—10 Liters (2.5 Gallons) and 20 Liters (5 Gallons)—to suit the needs of both nano and medium-sized reef systems.
Is the HydroTote™ safe for saltwater? Yes. The material is chemically resistant and safe for storing both freshwater and fully mixed synthetic seawater.
How do I clean the jug? Rinse thoroughly with RO/DI water after each use. If it has been used for saltwater, ensure no salt crystals are left in the creases before collapsing for storage.
Can I use it for long-term storage? While excellent for transport, it is best suited for short-to-medium term storage. For permanent water reservoirs, a rigid, opaque container is generally preferred to prevent any potential light-driven bacterial growth.
Seachem Prime®: Use to condition any tap water before filling your HydroTote™ if RO/DI water is not available.
Seachem Reef Salt / Marine Salt: The perfect salts to mix in your HydroTote™ for your next water change.
Seachem Digital Pocket Thermometer: Ensure your stored water is at the correct temperature before adding it to your aquarium.
