When Filling Water Containers

 
Municipal water is already chlorinated and DOES NOT need further treatment

DO NOT wash out containers with soap, simply too challenging to get out 
all the residual bubbles
DO use 1⁄2 c – 1 c white distilled vinegar and water to clean out your container

Fill container 1⁄4 full of water and shake or roll around and dump out, then rinse.

Fill your containers after you have them on pallets or with bricks and plywood to store your water.

After 6 -12 months of filling a new water container, consider emptying the container and then re-filling,  thus seasoning the water container.
*Seasoning the container means the water stored at first will most likely taste like plastic 
when  first used, to get that strong plastic taste out, simply empty and re-fill it.

Change out drinking/cooking water every 3-5 years
Keep water containers out of the sun, if not water will turn green.  If it is green, do not drink it!!

Option * Label water containers Drinking/Cooking, or Laundry/Cleaning
