WATER BOBS

[Scythe13]

I remember reading about that. Didn't they catch you with the Headmaster? The 6th form girls chased you off campus right? haha

[NorthernRaider]

The head mistress to be honest, she said to me " NR I have only made love twice before" to which I replied "Twice,I had heard that,once with the Grenadier guards and once with the crew of the Ark Royal" !!!

Has anyone found a water BOB far sale in the UK? I can't find any. I would much rather have a couple that way it's extra water on top of the water I have already collected.

There are some on Ebay,.. but they are expensive

This system is very similar at a fraction of the price

your not going to be carrying those very far!

..... the water Bobs are for the bath Paul,... the other is for the wheel barrow, almost as much water storage but far cheaper......... but you are right, you wouldn't carry them very far

err, why don't you just fill the bath? or am I missing something?

Well, you could do,.. but I was answering the inquiry from Mooski88.

There is also two negatives against storing water in the bath,.. one is that not many baths retain all the water, plugs leak a lot,..and two, have you tried to get the last gallon of water out of the bath with a cup

if im wrong im sure people will tell me. But water that is left alone for a time will let bacteria and other nasty stuff to grow on it but using a water BoB decreases the amount of oxygen therefore slows down growth and will stop the water getting contaminated. dead flys etc. but after a few days i would still boil the water out of the bob.

i was always told not to drink still water.

thank you! even that wheel barrow one will come in handy. perfect to put in any spare boxes i may have. (i always have spare because im always prepping)

i'd just store water in 5 litre plastic containers, I have quite a few of them, I also have 6X 20 litre water containers-bought especially for that reason, and no problem getting the last bit out, changed and rotated every 6 months.

and we don't have a bath, just a wet room!
