Dakota 283 Dash 5 Portable Dog Waterer with DakotaGuard

The Dakota 283 Dash 5 is a great way to carry your dog's water supply on the go. With a 5 gallon capacity, rubber plug, and crush resistance, it's the ideal travel companion for your dog. It's great for hunting, vacations, or even as a home or kennel water station.

The Dash 5 is manufactured with the same process as military cargo cases, so you can toss it in the back of the truck without worrying about cracks.

5-gallon water capacity

Rubber plug stores in the bottom while in use

Weatherproof and crush-resistant

Made with BPA-free and FDA approved polyethylene

Made in the USA

1-year limited manufacturer warranty

Dakota Guard anti-microbial protection features:

FDA and EPA-approved

Added in small quantities during production

Provides up to 98% protection against MRSA, Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, staphylococcus, many "gram-positive" and "gram-negative" organisms, and dozens of common dangerous organisms

Directions:

Lift up the handle end and remove the rubber plug. There's a small recess to store the plug on the bottom so your dog can't chew it while in use. Once the Dash 5 is laid down with the plug removed, the bowl area will fill with water. When the dog starts drinking, water will constantly backfill to ensure they don't run out. When it's time to go, tilt the unit up to return any leftover water inside and push the plug back in place.

Dimensions: 23.875" L x 13" W x 10" H

Works Perfect

This thing is holding up great, i am pretty rough on equipment especially things like this waterer. It gets thrown in the back of the can am and the truck and the is barely any scratches on it.

Pros

Rubber seals are easy to take in an out
Easy to fill
Good carrying handle

Cons

If there is one, I'd say It would be nice for unused water to go back into container but at the same time when the dogs get the water nasty don't need it going back in.

Excellent design

Great unit. My only issue with this waterer is the lack of warning about being sure the top plug is snuggly in place. My wife filled it in evening and by morning the floor was in need of a good mopping. Still worth the money.

Pros

Easier to carry 5 gallons of water.

Cons

Requires brains to remember to secure to the top plug

Not bad

Got this right before opening day for dove. Me and a buddy and 2 dogs. Much easier to handle than a couple gallon jugs and a water bowl. Spend 5 hours in the field and it seemed to work as advertised.

Pros

Easy to use. Easy to carry. Seems to hold up well so far. Material appears to be decently durable.

Cons

Its tricky to drain all the water. The small drain cap on the handle is plastic and I have a feeling after a season of use (screwdriver to take out) it will be pretty ragged.
Need to rig up a lanyard to all 3 plugs to the handle. You lose one of those plugs and it is useless.
With a better plug system, this thing would pretty much be perfection.
