Storing water in smaller containers has many advantages over large tank style water storage options

Portable

In the event of a disaster or other emergency situation you may need to evacuate or leave your home emergency storage supply. Large water tanks and barrels are far too heavy to take along, rendering your water storage virtually useless unless you can quickly transfer it into smaller, more portable containers.

Easy To Clean

Storage water needs to be routinely rotated to avoid a stale or brackish taste from developing and also to ensure the cleanliness of the containers. Large water storage containers can be difficult to empty and to clean, often requiring a special pump to remove the water. Smaller containers are easy to empty, clean, and refill.

Easy To Use

A complicated water storage container is not ideal in the event of an emergency. Water storage containers should be easy to use. Choose water storage containers with a simple lid and a spout for pouring – you won’t want to have to lift a heavy container of water to pour into smaller vessels

Water Storage Container Options

The Reliance Aqua-Tainer water storage container is a perfect emergency water storage container for use at home or on the go. The rigid plastic container is exceptionally durable, standing up to bumps, falls, and movement without cracking or leaking. The manageable size and contoured carrying handle make them perfect for camping, emergency car supplies, as well as long-term emergency water storage. Even when full they can be transported. Their stackable design is convenient for space efficient storage as well as use and rotation. The leak proof screw on lid features a hideaway spout to make dispensing water easy while also limiting spillage.

The Reliance Fold-A-Carrier offers a temporary water storage container that collapses flat for storage when not in use. The Fold-A-Carrier emergency water storage container is made from high-grade polyethylene, which remains flexible even in extremely cold temperatures. The spigot offers a convenient on/off feature for ease of use and is entirely leak proof so you won’t lose any precious liquids. Unlike the Aqua-Tainer, the Fold-A-Carrier is not designed for long-term emergency water storage, but rather as a temporary vessel for transporting and serving water, especially on the move.
