That Water Hog design looks interesting. I've not given water carrying much thought, I must admit. I have a mountain bike with racks and panniers. The rear rack can take 26 kg. Panniers are 20 litres each. I need a couple of flexible water carriers that would fit into them. I do have one of the cheap (probably PVC) 20 litre camping ones. They are cheap, but PVC is bad for the environment. TPU ones are good, very flexible, but expensive.
I've gone off the Water Hog idea, in favour of just using our sack truck and golf carts with bottles strapped to it. The Water Hog would just take too much shed space and being single purpose for >£40, I didn't think it costed in.
I would struggle to carry 10L very far because of health issues. So 5L for me and if I'm paying £1 for a bottle, it would be full of drinking water
. I'd also begrudge £8 for a 25L container
I have a few collapsible bottles, somewhere.
26+20+20 Litres of water on a bike is a heck of a load, way over a hundredweight. If sloshing around, would make riding a nightmare.
Have ordered a few metres of flexible pond pipe, to improve my water butt collecting and connecting.
