and building some 2x4 racks to house them and get them up off of the ground

ok

If you can get plastic 55-gallon plastic drums that would work better for water storage

yes, then filter it as you need it

through the ceramic filter setup

or put some drops of bleach into each drum

No I mean use the 55 gallon plastic drums as your clean water storage

yes, that would be ideal.

to fill them up right now, with fresh water from the tap

but I would need 10 of them, at $85 apiece.

and need to jump right on to building stands for them, as well as plumbing them

They have a bung on each side of the top so if you had two 5 gallon buckets each with a candle in it did you put it over the two holes on the top of the drum

yes, I see where you are going with that.

I have an RO water maker

I can make 100+ gallons a day.

right from my tap

(of course, this only helps if the tap is still running)

👀

but perhaps it would be stupid to filter out the chloramines

as that could potentially keep it cleaner, longer

@Dagbreker Have you thought about anything like this yet?

The survivalist part, that is.

ceramic water filter candle

They should list a micron particle size

@Karnivore @Deleted User We are in a drought now... So saving water is kind of imperative at the moment

I have thought about getting a JoJo

yes, but not just saving water.

Saving 10,000 gallons of water...

nice

how many gallons?

Home Depot here sells a 2500 gallon tank for about $1,000

It's about eight feet in diameter and 8 feet high

5000L = 1320,86 gallons

yes, you need a JoJo

we all need a JoJo

or 2

Yes

😄
