Pro Tips

  • Rotate stored water every 6-12 months โ€” even treated water doesn't last forever
  • Store water away from direct sunlight and chemicals like gasoline or pesticides
  • Mark each container with the date it was filled
  • A 55-gallon barrel is the most cost-effective per-gallon option for large families
