Plastic Containers for Water Storage

Published by

Aaron Mackley walks us through the different options in plastic containers for long-term water storage, highlighting safer plastics. He notes that glass (I’d add stainless steel and ceramic to his list) is one of the healthiest choices for storing water but that since it is breakable it isn’t really a practical option.

He also prices out the options for you and tells you what kind of containers you can safely buy used, what absorbs odors, etc.

I do disagree with him on using soda bottles to store water, especially since now there are many more non-plastic choices for small water storage.

Nonetheless, his videos are really thorough and well presented.

Thanks

for visiting The Real Know-How.

Our focus: Passing along essential information for sustainable, self-sufficient living on an individual and community level.

The posts on The Real Know-How speak to how we feed and clothe ourselves, how we generate energy, work, get around and dispose of waste.

This know-how comes from hundreds of ordinary and not-so-ordinary people who are thinking up new ways of doing things and reviving traditional methods.

We’ve got video and photo tutorials (I’m a visual learner), articles and success stories for inspiration.

In selecting what to post we’ve tried to stay away from strongly ideological and jargony content. I think the know-how has to be shared regardless of what school of thought or movement you align with.
