FEMA and the Red Cross recommend homeowners store a minimum supply of 1 gallon of emergency water per person. This supply of emergency water can be used for washing, bathing, drinking, and cooking following a disaster and subsequent shortage of potable water.
The 55-Gallon Water Storage Barrel and accessories provide a convenient and reliable source of treated water for emergencies. The strategic coloring of the drum is designed to block bacteria-growing UV rays ensuring the safe storage of water outside the home, school, or office. When treated with Water Preserver® Concentrate, water is guaranteed to store safely outdoors for up to 5-years. To ensure the integrity of your water supply, secure the Tamper Evident Cap to the water barrel’s seal - the tamper-evident strip must be pulled off leaving a visible indicator that the drum has been breached. Use the included bung wrench and siphon pump to easily access your water supply.
