At the 7-minute mark predicts worldwide pandemic in two to three weeks with it peaking in two to three months. So figure on holeing up for 6 months minimum.

I agree, AZ

2020-02-13 07:41:39 UTC  

and that is quite damn spooky to contemplate

2020-02-13 07:41:48 UTC  

6 months of holing up....whew

2020-02-13 07:41:48 UTC  

@Deleted User This is scary

2020-02-13 07:41:57 UTC  

I need much more H20

2020-02-13 07:42:08 UTC  

I only have a few hundred gallons

2020-02-13 07:42:29 UTC  

I need at least 10 gallons per person, per day

2020-02-13 07:43:07 UTC  

I would look into a ceramic filter replacement cartridge and using it with two 5 gallon buckets

2020-02-13 07:43:15 UTC  

agreed

2020-02-13 07:43:33 UTC  

Instead of buying a full-sized water filter

2020-02-13 07:43:51 UTC  

I was contemplating buying some 55 gallon plastic water containers

2020-02-13 07:44:06 UTC  

If I remember right they are called ceramic candles

2020-02-13 07:44:13 UTC  

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

2020-02-13 07:44:18 UTC  

ok

2020-02-13 07:44:47 UTC  

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

2020-02-13 07:45:06 UTC  

yes, then filter it as you need it

2020-02-13 07:45:13 UTC  

through the ceramic filter setup

2020-02-13 07:45:25 UTC  

or put some drops of bleach into each drum

2020-02-13 07:45:33 UTC  

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

2020-02-13 07:45:42 UTC  

yes, that would be ideal.

2020-02-13 07:45:53 UTC  

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

2020-02-13 07:46:10 UTC  

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

2020-02-13 07:46:29 UTC  

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

2020-02-13 07:46:31 UTC  

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

2020-02-13 07:46:57 UTC  

yes, I see where you are going with that.

2020-02-13 07:47:05 UTC  

I have an RO water maker

2020-02-13 07:47:14 UTC  

I can make 100+ gallons a day.

2020-02-13 07:47:20 UTC  

right from my tap

2020-02-13 07:47:32 UTC  

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

2020-02-13 07:47:35 UTC  

👀

2020-02-13 07:48:04 UTC  

but perhaps it would be stupid to filter out the chloramines

2020-02-13 07:48:31 UTC  

as that could potentially keep it cleaner, longer

2020-02-13 07:48:53 UTC  

@Dagbreker Have you thought about anything like this yet?

2020-02-13 07:49:04 UTC  

The survivalist part, that is.

2020-02-13 07:49:53 UTC  

ceramic water filter candle

2020-02-13 07:52:01 UTC  

They should list a micron particle size

2020-02-13 07:53:25 UTC  

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

2020-02-13 07:53:37 UTC  

I have thought about getting a JoJo

2020-02-13 07:53:53 UTC  

yes, but not just saving water.

2020-02-13 07:54:01 UTC  

Saving 10,000 gallons of water...
