First IN First OUT Emergency Water Storage and Rotation

[lp000028]

could you drop these under ground .or do you think it would lleach some thing from the ground into the water

a couple of idea's to help out here; plastic heated swells and contracts with cold/winter freezing - the plastic/rubber could bust; so they need to be out of the sun and bad weather; also if you lose water pressure it would be better to stair step them so gravity could help when you need to get at the water: if needed you could use suction at the exit hose; also to keep them from bulging/leaking you don't have to keep water running constantly just use occasionally then turn off entrance faucet.

Since mine is for EMERGENCY use. I figured I'd unhook it and tip them over one at a time to get water out. AND as I said, I have really good gravity filters. I wouldn't drink it untreated. These filters are good enough to filter bog water to safe water in Haiti, I think the wee pit o plastic in the hose is the LEAST of my worries in an emergency big enough to make this system an asset in a crisis.

This is great for watering your grass. But the point of having a water barrel is storage in case of an emergency. How are you suppose to get the water out if you don't have city water?

You could harvest rainwater for free..

good idea exept the garden hose is made out of oils.need a food grade garden hose or make one from food grade hose and garden hose adapters
