How you store your water is critical for water safety. If you buy your water in plastic one-gallon containers at the grocery store, you must realize that the plastic container is made of permeable plastic. It breathes, which means that bacteria and other contaminants can enter the container affecting water safety. They are not designed for long-term storage. Do not store these containers in the garage or on the concrete because the concrete along with car exhaust, pesticides, paints, solvents, etc. can leach into your water supply.
Don't forget to order a Water Preserver Concentrate treatment, bung wrench, and hand pump. For more information check out our Water Barrel package.
CAUTION! Do not store your emergency water in Used Barrels. These used barrels had something like fruit juice concentrate, cola syrup or even shampoo shipped in them. The stored material will leach into the plastic of the barrel and can't be removed. This is why the companies cannot reuse their own barrels and they sell them or give them away. They are contaminated. They will spoil any fresh water you store in the barrel. Once product is embedded in the plastic it is nearly impossible to clean. You will have a growth that cannot be controlled.
