If you’re a frequent camper, you understand that single-use plastic bottles of water from the grocery store are anything but the easy way to ensure you’ve packed all the water you need. Investing in a reusable container such as the Dometic GO Hydration Water Jug 11L, is the way to go.
It may not be the most exciting piece of gear to add to your overlanding or camping collection, but once you make the leap, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. As someone who values convenience and eco-friendly gear, the Dometic GO Hydration Water Jug 11L and Dometic GO Hydration Water Faucet are proving to be welcome additions to my gear repertoire.
Hydration on the Road
The beauty of the jug and faucet is their sheer utility. Forget about awkward pours and spills; the faucet dispenses a smooth, controlled stream, making everything from refilling water bottles to rinsing dishes and brushing your teeth simple. The jug is sturdy; it’s rectangular shape makes it easy to pack among camping and overlanding gear.
Straightforward to operate, the faucet is charged using an included micro USB cable. (Why it hasn’t been updated to a USB-C is unclear, and I hope the change is made sooner as opposed to later.) According to the manufacturer, one charge can dispense 150L of water. I haven’t been able to sustainably replicate that kind of use to test the claim, but I have no reason to think it’s flawed.
While I appreciate and enjoy the convenience the duo provides, for the cost of the faucet, a longer hose would be nice. Even the option to purchase a longer hose with the faucet would be appreciated.
Cost for the Dometic GO Hydration Water Jug 11L is $69.99. It is offered in three colors: Slate, Glacier, and Ash. The Dometic GO Hydration Water Faucet is an additional $99.99.
