How Do You Store Water for Emergencies?
If you’re facing the likelihood of a landfalling hurricane, one of the most common tips given is to fill your bathtub with water for drinking, cooking, etc., after the hurricane passes.
Personally, I found this tip rather disgusting…even though the bathtubs in my house are clean, they’re not clean enough to drink out of! Even then, the thought of the clean water sitting in my bathtub (which coincidentally is beside the toilet!)for days while we used it to drink, cook, etc., was too much for me.
The Aquapod Kit for Emergency Water Storage
Then, I found the Aquapod Kit. The Aquapod Kit has actually saved the day more than once for me and my family. We ordered three of them before the last hurricane, and when the warnings came, out they came.
The Aquapod Kits were easy to install in the tubs, just like the advertisements said they were, and since each one held up to 65 gallons of water, we ended up using two instead of all three, and each one comes with a pump that you use to take the water out of the sealed water pod. So, the water in them stays clean, clear, and uncontaminated. All told, each Aquapod provides a basic supply of clean water for 14 days for a family of four…and frankly, with the price far less than bottled water, you’ll be so glad that you have them.
So, when the next hurricane threatens, make sure that you have a simple solution for fresh water on hand and ready. Skip that mad rush to the grocery or big box store, searching in vain for the last case or two of bottled water on the shelf.
Order at least one for every bathtub in your home, and an extra one or two just in case. Even with only enough notice to fill up your Aquapod, you can rest assured of the supply you’ll need.
The Aquapod Kit is not reuseable, however, considering the cost and weight of 65 gallons of bottled water, the kit is an excellent and practical solution for emergency water storage needs, and the Aquapod Kit keeps your drinking water supply in a closed system.
