Water Storage:

Water Storage Before Disaster Strikes

What kinds of containers are recommended to store water in?    

Water Barrels & Storage Containers

Our FDA, UFC, NMFC, USDA, DOR/UN-approved water barrels are manufactured using state-of-the-art technologies to meet the stringent demands of chemical compatibility with hazardous and non-hazardous products as well as reliability and safety requirements.  Our water barrels are made from a high molecular-weight, high-density polyethylene resin and manufactured to high standards of quality and consistency.  This material makes the barrels extremely strong and rigid, allowing for easy handling and low shipping costs.  Water Barrels save space because of their large volume and can be stored outside without rusting.  If subject to freezing temperatures decrease volume by 10%.

All our Water Barrels & Storage Containers are NEW!

Never use a used water container!

Make sure the water storage container you plan to use is food grade.  Also make sure the container seals well with tight-fitting screw cap lids, also know as bung screws and avoid using containers that will break or decompose.  Milk containers are not recommended because they do not seal well.

Can bottle water be used?   

If you plan to use commercially prepared "Spring" or "Drinking water, keep the water in its original sealed container.  Change and replace the water at least once a year.  Once open use it and do not store it any further.

How much water should be stored?            

Plan on, at least one gallon of water per person a day, two quarts for drinking and two quarts for cooking and sanitation.  Keep at least a three day supply for each person.  However babies, children, and pregnant women need more.  *Remember, dehydrated food or Freeze Dried Food takes extra amounts of water to prepare.
