What will you do with your WaterBrick Containers?

There are many options for water storage these days. The challenge is to find a container that is easy to store and easy to move when you need to. The WaterBrick container, storing 3.5 gallons of water, is about the right balance between capacity and having the ability to move it. When filled with water, it will weigh only 27 pounds. A 5 gallon container weighs over 40 pounds.

A mix of water storage approaches is a good idea and the WaterBrick can play a key role. Your water storage plan might look like this:

• -A 55 gallon barrel, not easily moved, but handy to have at home in an emergency.
• -A WaterBrick container for each family member, stored in an out of the way location, but easy to grab. You can access your three day supply of water and carry it away on a moments notice.
• -Individual plastic bottles for water refills.
• -A LifeStraw Personal Water Filter or other compact water filter for extended scenarios.

WaterBrick containers are durable and stack-able. They have interlocking male & female components for stability and easy stacking, which is useful. They can be used as containers for water or food, since the container, lid and gasket are all made of BPA free and FDA compliant materials.  They have a wide mouth opening, so an average adult can reach their hand inside, plus a carry handle makes moving the brick easy for long distances on foot and, if necessary, it is easily detachable.

Better than Other Bulk Storage Drums or Tanks: WaterBricks stack like bulk storage but are individually easy to move for Grab & Go taking your water where you need it.
