did you seriously forget glass exists

Are you aware of what is made from super heated sand?

>>33156998
Canned water, cartoned water, those giant BPA free (the stuff you DON'T want in your water) containers you can order from in the internet that are literally designed for long term water storage. Rain barrels, if you were really into it you could order a cistern.

Oh I dunno, a water tank maybe?

Decanters.

Use something foodsafe like a pickle bucket and bleach it. The water, I mean. The CDC has the correct proportions you should use to avoid poisoning yourself and still make the water safe.

Plastic only does that when exposed to heat, ideally it should be stored in a cool area. Ideally modern Nalgene bottles work the best, but that would be fucking expensive. I use those for short term storage.

Also I live on a well so unless the groundwater is completely fucked to the point where multiple filters don't affect it we'd probably not last much longer no matter how well your limited supplies are stored

BPA-free plastic

Go roman and make concrete cisterns.
Go greek and use fired pottery (amphoras existed for a reason).
Use tile, use glass. Use what people have been using for thousands of years.

"Plastic" is not a single thing. It's like saying paint will give you lead poisoning. Just don't use lead paint, and don't use plastic that leaches toxins.

Just store the water, and only the water, in the right kind of plastic and purify it for use outside the container.


DO NOT:
Read random articles that say "plastic is safe do whatever you want lol" because they all follow the same formula. They narrowly define "toxic chemicals" to something very specific that they found testing results for, often from shitty testing, and act like they've covered everything and been scientific.

DO NOT:
Put bleach or other cleaning chemicals in plastic containers. The plastic is not fucking radioactive shooting magic toxin rays everywhere. Toxins leech for specific reasons and putting chemicals into the container is a big way to do that, which the manufacturer will not mention as they cannot predict all the stupid shit that stupid people will put into their containers made out of toxic chemicals.

Mostly, store water purification methods instead. Stock water filtration pumps and iodine tablets.

If you really need to store water, use glass or ceramic. Use those large jugs meant for brewing beer.

he's talking about the cdc approved way to sanitize drinking water containers

Hmm... yeah... a water tank, 90%+ made of either plastics or metal, both of which he said he didn't want to use...

Good thinking anon.

Ceramics and glass are the only things I can think of that won't give you cancer from long term water storage
