Why is plastic not recommended?

they are also heavier, and breakable

There are large mason jars. I think I payed 15$ for 6. Great store water in and dried goods as well such as quinoa, raw oat groats, beans, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, etc.

@shelladavis it can remove some viruses, but not all as they are too small. one way to help counter this is to put a pure silver coin in the bottom tank.

@rickvanman does the berkley filter take care of the viruses and such.

Was curious about your rain water collector, You mentioned to use food grade plastic containers, but I notice your roof collector looks like plastic as well, does that have to be a specific grade. I was thinking being exposed to the sun constantly that this would break down that plastic and leach chemicals into the water running off of it. Also any of that type of concerns for rain gutters and certain types of roof tiles also leaching chemicals into the water?

Isn't glass bottles the best way to keep water?

@MrBRL Definitely - yes. I use plastic here because large glass bottles are nowhere near as easy as the plastic ones to get hold of, at least not in the UK.
