That is very similar to my 2 gallon type: http://www.mrbeer.com/product-exec/product_id/377 Mine does not leak, but it takes about 2 weeks to get the water right, It is 2 gallons less then the one shown. And it did bring a bunch of 20 oz bottles to keep the water longer and make more water. Mine was a Christmas gift. Rumor has it it came from harbor freight ad a very decent price.
