3.2 & 5 Gallon Water Jug

Best emergency water storage containers for your home

One of the easiest, yet most important things you must do to prepare is store at least two weeks of water in your home. The majority of Americans have less than 12 hours worth of water in their home, yet humans die after just three days without it. We spent 34 hours researching and testing all of the popular small containers to find the best one for emergency water storage. We recommend the 5 gal Military Water Can.

With its wide 3.7-inch bucket mouth, our water cube provides easy access and hassle-free cleaning. Additionally, each package includes a cleaning brush to assist you in effortlessly maintaining the cleanliness of the water bucket.

The unique faucet allows you to control the water flow speed. You can also replace the faucet using the sealing cover and use it as a water storage carrier.

Quick tips on water storage

With the right container, water source, and storage, water can safely last 3-5 years — but we recommend rotating it every 2-3 years.

Not all plastics are safe for storing water. Look for the number inside the recycle symbol. Plastics 2, 4, and 5 are generally OK for water storage. 1, 3, 6, and 7 are not.

Plastic #2, also known as HDPE, is generally considered the best.

Plastic can absorb chemicals, so try not to store water containers on cement garage floors or other places where it will contact bad stuff.

Light, heat, and bacteria are the enemies of clean water storage.

Don’t recycle daily things like soda bottles or milk jugs. If you must, be sure they are properly cleaned beforehand.

When water freezes, it expands 10%. If you must store water in a place it might freeze, only fill your containers up ~85%.

Conclusion: Storage drums smaller than 7 gallons are most recommended

Carrying a full container by hand

Since every gallon of water weighs eight pounds and it’s very possible you might need to move the containers during an emergency, we tested how easy it is to carry the fully filled containers with one hand.We used three different people for these tests: a strong adult man, an adult woman with average fitness, and a teenage boy with average fitness for his age group.Each person carried each container up a flight of stairs, down a flight of stairs, 100 feet across flat ground, and then loaded it into the trunk of a car. Or they carried it in that order as far as they could. For example, most people couldn’t carry the 7 gallon container through the finish, and no one could complete the 10 gallon one (which did not have a carry handle). There was a rest period between each carry.

How to clean a water container

Fill it with warm water and a little dish soap. Close cap. Shake. Drain and rinse. This gets the obvious debris out of the can.Fill it with a quart (about 15 seconds of normal faucet flow) and a teaspoon of unscented household chlorine bleach. Close cap.Wait 30 seconds. Shake well. Wait 30 seconds again.Drain and rinse.Air dry (or fill right away with clean water)

We disqualified any product that wasn’t guaranteed BPA-free or made of food grade materials.

The safest plastic containers to hold water are polyethylene-based plastics, or plastics #1, #2, and #4. All food-grade plastics are made of High-density polyethylene (HDPE) #2. But be careful, because something made out of HDPE #2 might not necessarily be food grade.
