What is my favorite water storage system? After watching your video (and several weeks of research) ... this is my favorite system - if not the perfect system for me! I'll have twice as much water than the 'formula' would specify but, like the expression goes "two is one and one is none". I just ordered the two container system. Your link to the factory site led me to their sale. They have a package price that includes free shipping, a 25 ft drinking water safe hose and package of 5 year water treatment chemicals. These items combined beat Amazon's prices by about 60.00. It's a no brainer for me. I have totally committed to being prepared for a fire disaster, a water shortage as well as a major power grid failure. I am currently fire prepared. I will be water prepared when these arrive. Next on my list is (at least) a 5000 WH portable solar system. Thank you so much for this 'spot on' video. As an engineer myself, I clearly 'get' your perfection ! To anyone else...... just buy it - now - Amazon just sold out!

I am truly blessed. In 2001 my father retired and built a "hunting cabin" on land he purchased when I was in Jr high school. In 2002 I lost my job and found a new job close to my parents. The cabin was not completed yet so I lived with my parents for a few months while my dad and I finished the cabin so I could move in there. The first winter I had no running water. I would get up in the morning and drive to my parents to take a shower before going to work. The following spring (about 18 years and a few weeks ago) we drilled a well. After hitting water at 92 feet they took the drilling rig down and with that water started flowing out of the top of the casing. My well flows at about 2.5 gallons per minute 24/7 provided I don't pump it out faster. When my then girlfriend, now wife moved in with me about 12 years ago we added a 24X16 addition with a basement. I re-ran the pipe from the well into the basement and added a loop for the overflow. My original plan was to use it for geothermal and I do plan to do a little of that just by pumping it through an old car radiator with a fan on it. That will hopefully cool down my basement in the summer when I have the freeze dryer running. Regardless, I can always get water if I need it. It isn't as convenient as turning on my kitchen faucet but it is always there if I need it. I have used it to fill a bucket with water to flush toilets during a power outage. I haven't needed to drink it but it is the same water that comes out of my faucet so it is great water if I need to drink it.
@bossymodo3 жыл бұрын
@@TheProvidentPrepper I didn't elaborate on the stupidity of the people who installed the pump. If it had been me, I would have wired up the submersible pump put a long pipe on it and pumped water out of the well and then started digging down below the frost line for the pittless adapters. They seemed to think it would be much more fun for the water to just flow out of the well and dig a muddy swimming pool to work in while the struggled to install the pittless adapters. It was quite comical watching them struggle.

I am in NE Texas. We have approx 150 days of unrelenting heat/ humidity. No basement, so no naturally cooler storage locale. No garage. No space inside the smallish home. Digging a bunker is not possible. The tanks would sit on a concrete patio w/ awning for a few hours of shade. Nevertheless, the tanks would be subjected to approx. 8 hours/day for 5 months of 93-110 degrees F (shaded air temp) in a normal year. If we have a hotter than normal Spring-Summer-Fall, 95-115 degrees F. would be probable. Either way, I am considering if such protracted temps would affect the plastic? At the high price point, I do not want to have buyer regret, nor poison myself. Any thoughts? Btw, Winters here can be a bit rough, so, same concerns re below-32 degrees F. temps for extended periods.

Obviously the best case scenario with any water storage is to have it somewhere cool and away from the sun. Sunlight promotes the growth of algae and can cause an increase in the growth of bacteria. With all that being said, our tanks are built to industrial standards, they withstand heat and cold well. If you are going to store water in an environment where sunlight will be on the tank, we recommend finding a way to cover that the best you can and using the H2O ResQ John discussed in the video as this will help prevent that bacterial growth. You will need to rotate the water more often, but the treatment has a test kit that will help you determine when that is right. If you are subjecting the tank to colder temperatures below freezing, we recommend you leave about 6" of space between the top of the tank and the water level to allow for expansion during those freezing months.

When using the system, always use the top tank first. If you end up needing to refill both tanks, you can either just lift the top tank up to get the cap off and fill the bottom tank, then put the cap back in place, or you can set the top tank off while you fill the bottom, then set it back on top...fairly easy to do, especially with 2 people.

I've only just started checking out water storage ideas a few weeks back and have decided on one for portable units and filters (SaganLife's AquaBrick is better constructed than the Waterbrick. See KZbin comparison videos on this if interested.) Am left dissatisfied, though, by home storage options. This one drew my attention the most as the construction looks good (also in a hot environment that can reach 120F outside.) Yet it also doesn't have a feature I dearly want to see: a top that can be completely opened. Tap on, screw on; something that would allow the user to really get in there and scrub down all inner surfaces rather than relying on chemicals to 'cut down' on undesirable bio growths. Yes, that would mean the walls would need to be strengthened and an air-tight sealing system like used in smaller food storage systems, but I'd be willing to pay more in exchange for peace of mind. Chemicals scare me! I suppose I could use the SaganLife filters, but as wonderful as those are they are muy $$! Would not be able to afford that.

I am sorry for your back problems...that makes a lot of things difficult. Back pain is one of the worst maladies I have known. I hope you can get relief. As for water, the important thing is find something that works for you and provides the water you need for emergencies. With the WaterPrepared system, you can use blocks of wood to just lift the upper tank (without taking it down) enough to loosen the cap to either fill it through the top, or just to provide pressure relief and fill it through the spigot. Then remove the blocks and fill the top tank. Each system has its strengths and drawbacks...figure out what works best for you. The important thing is to have water...if you have water, you have options. Those that don't have water will end up having to find water of questionable quality and haul it to meet your needs. Again, I am sorry for the challenges you face. But...the fact that you are on our site means you are working on solutions! Thanks for being part of the solution!!

Yikes - 55gl drums are $290 and 160gl drums are $500 (out of stock). Good lord. I'll go to Marketplace for food grade drums for $100, Alex

You can pick up used barrels for significantly less. Marketplace is a great place to look.

Get your barrels off the concrete. Chemicals will leech into the water and contaminate it.

Putting them on concrete isn’t a good idea as the chemicals from the concrete could contaminate the water. Needs to be on wood platform

True, but I can also see the people of bliblical times not needing to know if alien life existed several thousands of light years away. Not much of a chance of Meet & Greet there.
