- Safety and Quality: Opt for food-grade, BPA-free plastic containers. Select purpose-built storage barrels specifically designed for long-term storage. Keep in mind that a Water Filter is important regardless of the container used.
- Durability and Reliability: Seek containers with solid construction and secure, airtight seals to prevent contamination and maintain water quality over extended periods.
- Consider Capacity and Portability: Larger water barrels is suitable for home storage. Portable options such as collapsible water containers are ideal for on-the-go emergency preparedness or evacuation scenarios.
- One Gallon of Water Per Person Per Day: The general guideline is to store at least for a minimum of three days.
