[JamieHitt]

I appreciate companies that offer preparedness products. And I think we should support their efforts so they can continue to do so. With that being said, there are other factors that one may or may not find of interest. As a plumber and water treatment specialist, I would also suggest looking into similar system concepts that are installed in your basement, well house, along a wall in your garage, ...etc. Why? Because while they may have an even greater initial cost, ....if they are a permanent installation (hard plumbed), ...in many instances (especially when combined with a filtration system), ...they could qualify as a capital improvement and be tax deductible. And as such, ...if properly installed and maintained, ...could even increase the value of your home in dryer regions. Just food for thought.

I generally don't care about being first or anything, but it is nice to see a video just over a minute after its uploaded. Especially as I only subbed yesterday!

I've been using mine for a little over a year and it has held up really well. Highly recommend.

I'm glad I watched this. When I saw the sprinkler running off of the drum, and saw the flow, I'm saying, "no way is that gravity from the bottom of the tank". I see how the system works now.

here in Florida. we get 275 gallon food grade tanks for $70 to 120$ . Good second hand.

[conundrumcontingencies]

Your video's shine as usual comrade. It's good you remind us of the importance of aqua, no matter where the containers are bought because after 2.5 days without water, that's all she wrote!

The clean water transfer pump uses very little electric, & they can be converted to DC as well - good topic CP 👍

[OHSTN]

Outstanding video.
Love the idea. Personally I would want to use a rain capture system in front of it, rather than a water hose. Like you, winter temps at 65° North mean insulated storage, freeze prevention, ... I don't know how that'll work out, but would have a blast figuring it out.
Well done CP

Excellent review.   Looks like a quality product and it would be a life saver to have a couple of dozen of them when the water stops coming through the taps.   However,     this is for limited duration water shortages.   What is coming will be permanent and so you need springs or your property and a well with backup manual pumps.

CP, I cam appreciate you trying to be as positive as possible to help the manufacturer sell their product while still trying to provide useful information to your viewers. In this case you didn't quite walk the narrow line IMHO. The price of this barrel is RIDICULOUS! An inexpensive, clean & sanitized 55 gallon drum filled with chlorinated city water & kept in optimal conditions can last for quite a few years before growing any algae. Adding an inexpensive water storage ingredient pushes that out to almost a decade. You should have said that. Your channel, your credibility to risk or maintain but I don't think you did this time IMHO.

I went low cost, by some clear food grade tubing, and a air stone to add air bubbles to water to keep it fresh! The cost for an air stone and air pump is $30 from Amazon, it uses 20 watts of power have it come on 5 minutes an hour with a timer! I bought 3 80 gallon flexible rain water barrel for $35 both each on Amazon or on Ebay! You can link them together, so once it is full it will overflow filling up the other barrel with a short run in food grade hose!

You had me till you gave the price. lol Good Video

Can still be used in winter if you a bathroom or kitchen that butts to the garage. Pop a couple of 1/2” holes in the wall and connect them to the cold water for the sink. Just leave the valves on the barrels open as the faucet will hold the water back.

Love the shirt CP!

Everybody should definitely join the CCFF to help defend the use and ownership of firearms in Canada.

[glenarthur]

Keep your eyes open on Kijiji or Craig list for barrels. Also if you have a greenhouse/grow opt that you use year round you could use this system. : )

[marytica]

BARRELS ARE GREAT FOR TEMPORARY STORAGE, but the best bet is backup generator power for your water well (assuming you have one). During Hurricane Irma, we had hundreds of gallons of water, but were "empty" by day 8 of the electric outage. NOW, we have a standby generator and transfer switch, allowing us to power not only the water well pump, but other necessities as well.

[Rockhound]

For that price you may as well use 40-50 Gal electric or gas water heaters and put them in a small well insulated easy to heat shed and have plenty of water 12 months of the year.

[atlanticcanuck]

Would be nice if they could handle more pressure. Say 80 psi or so. Then you could install them inline on your house's water entrance. A few isolation valves and a tee on the lower spigot would let you gravity fill a bottle or pot when your city looses pressure without having to disconnect your primary plumbing piping. You would probably forget about them completely but you'd sure be glad to have them the day water runs out. Unfortunately, 30 psi is just too low for everyday use. I must say, this product doesn't look like a rain catchment device to me.

[areuaware]

Cheapest way to store water is to pick up used none leaking water heaters, flush them out and connect them in line with your regular water heater. That way the water is continuously refreshed when you use your hot water and is sealed in your domestic water piping and safe from outside contaminants.
You can usually get them for free from your plumbing supply house or local plumbing company.
They are available in sizes up to 120 gallons.

Price is probably to steep to reach a broad audience, especially with so many cheaper options available. This is actually quite a shame, because the concept seems pretty solid.
