What is the best container to store water long

Long-Term Water Storage Solutions The general guideline is to use food-grade plastic bottles. You can also use glass bottles so long as they haven't stored non-food items. Stainless steel is another option, but you won't be able to treat your stored water with chlorine, as it corrodes steel.

Do I need a water container for camping?

Yes! You certainly should. Even if your campground has drinking water, a water container allows you to more easily store water at your campsite. This cuts down on the number of trips you need to take to get to the water spigot and reduces your need for disposable water bottles, which aren't as good for the environment.

What is the safest container for water?

Glass is the boss in the reusable water bottle category. It is the safest and best way to store both food and liquids for several reasons. Water in glass bottles isn't affected by any flavor from the container, giving it a “purity of taste” benefit when compared to plastic bottles and other options.

How long can water be stored?

Replace stored water every six months. Keep stored water in a place with a cool temperature (50–70°F). Do not store water containers in direct sunlight.
