I've got one of the 7 gallon square blue water jugs that I want fill up and set aside. How would you prep the jug and water? I have some of those water purification tablets but I don't have enough for the whole 7 gals. Anyway would you use them when you first fill it or when you go to use it? I...

I'm sorry if this chapter isn't appropriate- didn't know where to put it. Move it if it fits better somewhere else. In the past I read the threads about food storage very carefully. A lot you folks have a lot of food stored which good. But it seems I never see enough water supply. This...

We got these crates delivered at my work a while back. I knew what they where but didnt have a chance to really look into them till now. They are from Noah water. Big a$$ water purification systems. I went to their web sight and if you got the money they got the stuff. If the shtf and these get...

From Stan & Holly Deyo: Dare to Prepare...:thumb: For your treated, stored water, containers are needed. Ideally they should block light and be small enough to carry. Each gallon of water weighs approximately 8 pounds or in comparable metric, 4 liters weigh 4 Kg. A five gallon jug translates...

I'd like to get some input on my plan (or lack thereof) for our water storage. Is it unreasonable to think that I could store at least one month's worth of water for 3 people (me, hubby, and 2 year old DD)? This would be drinking water only. I am planning on getting a good filter/purifier as...

I've got a 5 litre plastic water container water in my fridge. Putting water in it today and then putting the container in the fridge, how long will the water last before if goes bad and would make me ill if I drink it. Also. If I put a pure silver dollar in the container how many extra days...

I have a couple food grade 55 gal barrels that I have cleaned out for drinking water storage. I need some tips/advice on where to store them. I have no place to store them inside, and was wondering if I could store them outside? I heard that you don't want them in direct sunlight, but how...

Just passing along a thought. I'm using 6" and larger PVC as underground/waterproof storage containers. I'm not a math whiz but would like to know how many feet of 6" pvc would be needed to store 500 gallons of water? Anyone? thanks

My wife and I just had our first child not that long ago. Now it seems like I have about 30 empty gallon jugs of nursery water in the garage. Can I just fill these back up and put them in the basement, or do I have to clean them out with something and put purification tablets in with them? Also...

Hi everyone, been lurking for a while and learning all kinds of great stuff, getting to where I have a few questions for you more seasoned folks on here. My first is about food-grade water storage jugs. I was trolling my local China-Mart and picked up some 6-gallon "bpa-free" food-grade etc...

I live along the coast in texas where we only have two seasons, summer (8 months out of the year) and then a mild winter. I am looking at getting some plastic water containers. I am going to add Aerobic Stablized Oxygen to it, but I was wondering if that will be enough. Does anyone else have...

I've always been a bit dubious about using some of the supermarket's own brand thin bleach products for adding to stored water, because most of their ingredients lists seem to be a bit vague, and seem to suggest "other ingredients". On Asda smart price thin bleach for example - it actually...
