Seachem HydroTote Collapsible Jug
The easy way to haul water home. The Seachem HydroTote is a collapsible jug for carrying and storing RO water, DI water, or premixed saltwater, the perfect companion for anyone who fills up at the fish store. It pours cleanly, folds flat when empty to save space, and is tough enough to survive a drop from up to 3 meters while full.
Grab a HydroTote when you pick up water at the shop, then condition and top off at home with Seachem Prime, and browse our RO/DI systems & water for more.
Features
- Collapsible design folds flat when empty, so it stores in a fraction of the space of a hard jug or bucket.
- Built to travel, it withstands a drop of up to 3 meters (about 10 feet) while full.
- Clean, controlled pour from the spout for mess-free top-offs and water changes.
- For any water, use it for RO, DI, or premixed saltwater in freshwater and reef systems alike.
- Sturdy carry handle for easy lifting and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I carry in it?
Any aquarium water. It is designed for RO water, DI water, and premixed saltwater, and works for both freshwater and reef tanks.
Does it really fold flat?
Yes. When empty it collapses flat, so it takes up far less space than a rigid 5-gallon jug or bucket.
Is it durable?
Seachem rates it to survive a drop of up to 3 meters (about 10 feet) while full, so it holds up to regular trips to and from the store.
Which size should I get?
The 2.5 gallon is easy to carry one-handed and great for nano and small tanks. The 5 gallon suits larger tanks and bigger water changes.
