Question: I'm preparing several ways for our "compound"to use water. Besides the various methods ofaccessing my well water, I want to keep asupply of DISTILLED or PURIFIED water onhand. Most water today is stored in these dumbplastic jugs that deteriorate after about ayear. I can't find any glass bottled waterany longer. What about these "fancy" water's that arein pop-like bottles. Do these bottles holdtogether for long periods without deteriorating?I was thinking of buying a bunch or cases from"Sam's Club".
Answer: I have "Stored" water in the cheap plastic bottles for 5 years withno worries except the water tastes a bit like plastic. I did this as an experiment NOT for my main water stores but it seemedto store well. They were stored in a dark cool place.. Checked on this today,. 15 dollar deposit on each 5 gallon bottle, and an 8.00delivery charge per bottle when they are empty. Not too good of deal but this is: Some of the Local Supermarkets here in Dallas are running aspecial on cases of one gallon containers of Ozarke, Oasis,and other Bottled waters. There is 6 gallons to one cardboard case, and they cost .48cents each gallon. The cases are extremely sturdy, and you cannot even buy a 6gallon container for $3.00. $50.00will get you 16.6 cases which is almost 100 gallons. Itstores nicely in a closet and you can stack them 9 high without crushing the bottom box according to the label. Just thought I would pass this on.
