We will most likely change the water out in another 3 to 4 years.<BR/><BR/>My husband said the water smelled fine, but he did not taste it before he emptied the jugs. The water could have been used for things other than drinking if there had been an emergency (ie. bathing, cleaning, etc.) It also could have been purified for drinking by boiling it first or other purification methods. Storage of SOME water is better than NO water at all.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I am not an expert on water -- but I do know a good source for information: http://www.fema.gov/plan/prepare/water<BR/><BR/>Best wishes in your efforts!K Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305129704758635625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224197065355200849.post-68311500695495717372009-01-07T18:45:00.000-07:002009-01-07T18:45:00.000-07:00I'm good with food storage but water has me puzzle...I'm good with food storage but water has me puzzled. Now that you have fresh water will you just keep it stored or will you use it and replenish as necessary?<BR/><BR/>Do you feel the plastic water bottles are OK or do you think you should have stainless steel (I'm referring to the leaching problem with plastic)? I've been reusing plastic bottles, then wash and let air dry before using again. My husband thinks we should buy the stainless bottles so we have started using our stainless travel cups. What to do, What to do?? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
