Why would I use water containers for storing water instead of storing bottled water?
Bottled water is an alternative for storing water at home for an emergency. The average shelf life of bottled water is two years, depending on the conditions of the area in which the water is stored. Storing the bottles in less-than-ideal conditions can affect the appearance and taste of the water over time. While we recommend that water stored in our containers should be changed out every 90 days, there is no packaging waste involved in refreshing this water or in consuming it. Given the proper care, our reusable containers have an infinite useful life. Small, one-time use water bottles produce waste any time they are consumed or changed out.
