I was a 1st Cav aviation guy who supported Infantry platoons in III Corps, never heard of these water tubes. There were large water bladders (3ish ft diameter) which would be flown in.
You got anything Chainmail?

Sorry Buddy - never heard of these - but they would have been a great thing to have. We got our water from the water trailer (”Water Buffalo”) which was highly chlorinated or from rivers or wells while in the field. We would add the purification tablets, but not always and we’d get the sh_ts soon after.
