WaterPrepared makes a solid 160-gallon container that is stackable and doesn't take up too much space (29″W x 36″D x 42″). I have one in my garage. With AquaMira drops it's good for like 5-years.
That's just ~53-gallons each for my three person household.
It's $400 but seems like a reasonable investment in the case things go awry.
- ghaff 7y agoSome of us live places where storing water in the garage doesn't work for part of the year :-) I could store large quantities of water but I'm not in a seismically active area and I'm not sure what the scenario is where I need water specifically. (I'm also near a river so water probably isn't a particular issue.)
- malandrew 7y agoWhy doesn't it work for part of the year? Freezing temperatures? In that case, you can just move it into your basement or other climate controlled space. Even if you're near a river, having clean, treated water is still useful. It's one less activity you need to concern yourself with in the case of disaster. No need to go out and get water and treat it. That said, I'm in a seismically active area, in a tsunami zone and pretty much surrounded by salt water so there is value in my situation
