I'd be interested as well. I use these to store RO/DI for my ATOs and currently just replace the original cap with a hole in it. Something that would better seal it from something potentially falling in would be great.
 
I'm not familiar with the jugs, what size opening is it? They sell these for drums, 2 inch opening. Works well for when you need to feed tubing through..

The jugs themselves work great for topping off ATO reservoirs....handle makes it easy to pour and the 5 gallon size makes them manageable

So they came in today and fit perfectly, but I don't know how many uses I'll get out of them. For now they are perfect though. I'll give you an update on longevity as I know it.

Actually they work very well. They have a cap in the center you remove and replace so you can use them again and again. Only issue is they don't have an air vent and the hole is about half the size of the opening so they flow slow and a little messy. Otherwise they do the trick and if it annoys me too much I'll punch a small air vent.
