Water Storage Barrels & Accessories
HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD I STORE?
In an emergency, an ample water supply is a priority. Needs will differ, depending upon age, physical condition, activity, diet and climate, but most people need to drink at least two quarts, which is equal to eight cups, of water each day. Hot weather conditions can double the amount needed, and children, nursing women and ill people also will need more.
In general, We recommend storing a minimum of one gallon (preferably two gallons) of water per person per day, for two weeks of drinking and food preparation and other limited uses such as hand washing, brushing teeth and dish washing.
We do not recommend storing water in glass containers, used milk or thin water containers sold at most supermarkets. They become brittle with time. Also never-ever use any previously used plastic containers or barrels, even ones used for syrups and concentrates. These containers absorb and retain the residual of anything put into them regardless of how much prior cleaning you give them, thus contaminating your water reserve (and causing it to taste terrible).

We do not recommend the use of 30 and 50 gallon water containers as these containers can weight up to 450 pounds, which is too heavy and dangerous for use around children and others, can easily be transported and allows the user to not "store all of their eggs in one basket" meaning you may store these smaller containers in different areas around the home or office. Smaller containers are the safest choice around hurricane and earthquake prone areas. We highly recommend the use of 2.5, 5 gallon and 15 gallon water drum or also know as water storage barrel, plastic water storage containers as they are a safe, practical solution for home and business emergency water storage needs. Our storage containers are made of FDA approved plastic and are small enough to take with you on-foot and in your vehicle. Your emergency drinking should be stored in portable containers that can be stored in a many different locations to assure you have access to freshly stored drinking water in the event a single location is damaged and made inaccessible in a disaster. Smaller water containers can also be shared easily with friends and family members if needed.
Whether storing water for emergenies or have the need to bring along a portable water container for camping purposes, Safety Central carries the largest selection of water storage containers available. From one half quart bota bags to multi-gallon containers to canteens and water containers with wheels for easy portability. From disaster relief drinking water containers such as those used by FEMA and The Red Cross to portable water containers used by campers, hikers, hunters and most all outdoor adventurers. On this site you will find colored container such as green, blue, red and even clear that are collapsible for easy storage.
If an earthquake, hurricane, winter storm or other disaster strikes your community, you might not have access to food, water and electricity for days, or even weeks. By taking some time now to store emergency food and water supplies, you can provide for your entire family. This information is provided by SafetyCentral.com.
Having an ample supply of clean water is a top priority in an emergency. A normally active person needs to drink at least two quarts of water each day. Hot environments can double that amount. Children, nursing mothers and ill people will need even more. You will also need water for food preparation and hygiene. Store a total of at least one gallon per person, per day. You should store at least a two-week supply of water for each member of your family.
If supplies run low, never ration water. Drink the amount you need today, and try to find more for tomorrow. You can minimize the amount of water your body needs by reducing activity and staying cool. |  |
