The weather may be beautiful today, but extreme weather
and natural disasters can come upon us quickly and unexpectedly.
That's why it's important to have a supply of emergency
drinking water. The other day, I came across something that's
gonna guarantee that I'll have up to 100 gallons of it.

to Prepare an Emergency Water Supply

This is a disposable plastic bladder called the
waterBOB™. It unfolds inside your bathtub.
|
 |
|
|
To fill it with fresh water, remove the cap and screw on the fill sock.
|
| Slip the opposite end over the tub spout and turn on the water. Depending on your water pressure, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to fill the bladder. |
 |
|
|
When it's time to use your reserve water supply, remove the cap, screw on the siphon pump.
|
Squeeze it a few times to start the flow and collect as much water as you need. The bladder is rated to keep water safe and drinkable for up to 4 weeks.

That's a pretty great idea, isn't it? But you do have to get one of these ahead of time. You can't wait until an emergency strikes. So if there is a water emergency, you can either go out and buy your water a gallon at a time if you can find it, or you can have 100 gallons of drinking water at almost no cost.
