What? Water with a 30 year shelf life?!

Storing water can really be a pain, especially when you have to rotate the water supply every 6-12 months.  Although having Water Preserver can provide a 5 year shelf life for the water it can still be a bother with rotating it. You’ll never believe the solution we have.  We have a new product that will last up to 30 years, and you can store it almost anywhere!

Now you might wonder “How does a can of water last for 30 years?? When my 30-Gallon Water Barrel only gets 5 years with my Water Preserver?”

With the canned water it’s processed and purified at the highest standards possible and with the added stage where they boil the water before canning, vacuum sealing the can to remove the air and then sealing the can, and followed by “cooking” the can which eliminates any form of bacteria that’s in the can. With these added stages to processing the water you get water with an incredible shelf life!Canned water might be new to you and you might not believe you can get 30 years out of the 28 fl oz can.  Did you know that canned water has been around for quite sometime?  In fact, a quick history on canned water to ease your worries. During World War II the US Military needed a simple way to have water available to troops.  They went with canning because it provided the military with a great way to transport water to the men and women of this country’s armed forces.  Since then it has been in use in subsequent decades and is a standard choice for emergency drinking water.  Stevens Ecology based out of Mosier, OR performed studies on canned water that was manufactured back in the 50′s and the results showed that 60 years later the canned water was still safe to drink!

So how big are the cans of Emergency Drinking Water? The size of the can is 5 3/8″ x 4″ diameter and it’s a little bit larger than chunky styled soups you find in your local grocery store (note the measurements of the image below). The Emergency Drinking Water will also provide one person with enough water for 2 days with 1 single can! With the water being stored in a durable can it’s ideal for every auto 72 hour kit. Another huge advantage to Emergency Drinking Water is that due to how it’s packaged the heat will not affect the waters shelf life.

Water is the most important item for anyone’s emergency supply.  If you’re looking to add some water that doesn’t require rotating you’ll want to take advantage of the great price we have on our Emergency Purified Drinking Water.  You can get these in the following supply sizes:  2-Week Supply, 3-Month Supply, and 1-Year Supply.

    Good concept. Used to have a WW2 surplus can of water my father bought after the war (he was from that generation). Looked like a tall beer can! ;-)

    However, is it really practical?

    Your own videos say to plan for 1 gallon per person per day. A gallon is 128 fluid U.S. ounces. So at 28 oz per can that’s about 4.5 cans per person per day making it 63 cans per person for a 2 week supply.

    That’s a lot of cans!

    We actually offer this water for sale at our online store and I can confirm that it is a very practical emergency product to have. True, the recommendations are to store 1 gallon of water per person per day, but that 1 gallon recommendation includes water for rinsing, washing, and personal hygiene use which does not have to be purified as long as it is not ingested. We therefore recommend that people store three levels of water. Level 1, water that is ready for immediate consumption but that comes with a shorter shelf life, such as bottled water. This water should be rotated (use and replace) through daily use to ensure freshness. Level 2, safe drinking water with long term storage capability such as this canned water. Level 3, general use water, stored in larger drums such as 30 or 55 gallon barrels. This water should be replaced every 6 to 12 months and might require treatment (boiling, water purification tablets) to be safe to drink, but can be used for personal hygiene and non consumption purposes.
    I hope this info makes sense.
