Water preserver.

Hi all, new member here.

My thoughts on water storage are pretty much what has been mentioned above. I store around 50 - 60 litres in bottles and water carriers etc which will get me over any short term problems and it is fairly simple to throw away and refill every few months.

For longer problems I have a British Berkfeld gravity filter (around £80 - £100 for the SS2 with candles) which will quite happily filter water from my butts.

Going by various estimates a family of 4 could need 20 Litres and more per day just for drinking, storing enough for even a month would take a fair bit of space and weigh a fair bit too if you were looking at storing it in bottles. A few water butts and a decent filter solve the problem for me. Depending what filter candles you buy they can filter 10,000 litres with no drop in the levels of filtration and they are cheap enough to have a few put by as well
