Can I just add that if things are all good, you can pour out your water after a year and refill, that seems to be an easy way to keep the water fresh.

I JUST stumbled onto your water storage video, and saw the thumbnail for this one so watched it first 😆 Thank you for this great information and product list, I'm in a 1-bedroom condo and am figuring out my water storage options for a smaller space. The testing info is especially great, thanks!

You are so welcome!

Would love to see a glass water storage video. Thanks for doing this!

I reuse all glass bottles, wash and rinse well both the bottle and lid. I fill with tap water that has a high chlorine amount, so i do not add anything. I take a piecevof press and seal to cover the mouth of the bottles and screw the lids on tightly.

The dollar tree sells reusable bootles. I have them filled. I also use most glass jars/bottles. I have about 100 5th bottles filled also. I also put store bought water bottles in cloth drawers, a layer going all across. For all the glass bottles i have reused get a piece of press and seal over the mouth of the bottles. Hint, the quickest way to get the oap out fully is to keep running cold water in it until bubbles quit coming out, empty and use a bit of water to swish and pour.

Was this tap water that you stored for 2 years?

[@Alygator_3]

Do you initially just fill the canisters with tap water?

Electrolysis same thing happens with copper pipes
