Dakota 283 Dash 5.0 Gallon Water System
 
At Black Mesa Gun Dog Supply, we understand that hydration is key to your gun dog's endurance during grueling hunts, rigorous training sessions, or extended field days.
 
The Dash 5.0 Gallon Water System from Dakota 283 is built for serious hunters – whether you're navigating NAVHDA versatility tests, competing in NSTRA trials, or flushing pheasants with your Pudelpointer. This portable, heavy-duty waterer provides ample fresh water without leaks, spills, or constant monitoring, so you can stay focused on the action.
 
Why Dash 5.0 Fits Your Gun Dog Adventures
 
Engineered for the toughest outdoor conditions, this system is weatherproof and crush-resistant, ready to endure bumpy truck rides alongside your E-collar or shotgun. Say goodbye to bulky jugs and flimsy bowls – the Dash 5.0 offers reliable, on-demand hydration for longer outings or multiple dogs, keeping your pack performing at their best in hot, demanding environments.
 
Key Features Built for the Field:
 
Expanded Capacity: Holds up to 5 gallons of fresh water – ideal for all-day hunts, multi-dog setups, or extended trips without frequent refills.
Innovative Backfill Hydration: Lift the handle end, remove the rubber plug (which stores securely in a bottom recess to prevent loss or chewing), and lay it flat – the drinking area fills automatically, with constant backfill as your dog drinks. Tilt upright to return unused water – no waste, no mess.
Rugged Construction: Made from BPA-free, FDA-approved polyethylene – the same material used in military cargo cases and industrial tanks – for superior durability against impacts and weather.
Optional Antimicrobial Protection: Upgrade to Dakota Guard™ for FDA/EPA-approved defense against up to 98% of harmful bacteria like MRSA, Salmonella, E. coli, and more, ensuring safe water in rugged field settings.
Portable Design: Measures 23.875″L x 13″W x 10″H and weighs just 5.5 lbs, making it easy to transport and store.
 
Customization Options:
 
Colors: Field-ready shades like Coyote Granite, Dark Granite, Olive, or high-visibility Orange to complement your gear.
Upgrades: Choose the Dakota Guard™ antimicrobial add-on for extra protection.

What Fellow Hunters Say:
 
Our hunting community appreciates its practicality and toughness. Steve from Truckee, CA, shares, "Great unit. Easier to carry 5 gallons of water." Though he notes the need to secure the top plug to avoid leaks. David from Alabama adds, "Much easier to handle than a couple gallon jugs and a water bowl. Easy to use, carry, and seems to hold up well." He suggests adding lanyards to the plugs for convenience. Overall, it's rated highly for field performance, with users calling it a worthwhile investment despite minor tweaks like better draining.
