As per the thread title, I'm looking for something fairly robust as it will be used on a daily basis. Needs to be top filling with a tap at the bottom, 10-20 litre capacity, preferably under £20.

Doesn't need to be collapsible as it won't be moved very often and will be refilled in situ. There's loads out there but don't want to waste my money on something crap which leaks after 5 minutes. Any recommendations?

For what you describe you’d not go far wrong with an MoD 20L (water) Jerry can, as long as you’re not bothered by looks.
Thicker plastic than anything I’ve ever seen on the civvy market, and being solid black the water is shielded from daylight/heat.
Tap might be an issue but a bit of googling should find you a compatible item.

I would also suggest an ex-MoD water tank, they are cheap enough through ebay and very robust

Appreciating some of these are over budget, this might help with a few options https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAgdcmA-hi8

We use the below when camping out the Land Rover and it's fine, my only comment would be that the tap is rather exposed and could get snagged/snap off however ours has lasted 4 years so far.
