tyler34 · 03-03-2009

I bought one of these awhile ago and thought it is a great addition to my cache. does anybody else own one?

WaterBOB®: emergency drinking water storage

+1 I could see one of these in my truck box(lined with cloth filled from a hose).Thanks
How much are they...do not see a price even if I start to order??

tyler34 · 03-03-2009

I bought mine at a surplus store so it was probably a little over MSRP but I only paid $34. still a good price for what you get IMO.

tyler34 · 03-03-2009

well I looked on the ordering page and it does have the price. it's only $20 + $5 shipping so $25

so I overpayed by ten bucks, I'll defer to the helping local business defense.

Interesting concept.. I wonder what shelf life is (unused, of course)..

That's interesting. Have you used it yet?

tyler34 · 03-04-2009

no not yet and I hope not to have to.

Looks like it would work but my problem with it is I only need it when my power is off not before and when the power is off, it'd be too late to fill it.

You can buy animal stock tanks to hold the bladder. Rubber-maid and other companies make tanks of all sizes that you could utilize in lieu of the bathtub. It would keep from having a very wet accident

That's a pretty neat idea, but like Sarge mentioned for it to be an effective prep it would have to be filled PRIOR to the water stopping coming out of the tap.

Still with as inexpensive as it is it'd be nice to have just in case there are shortages of water & the local government started rationing the hours in which water was flowing, then something like that would be invaluable.
