I think during a pandemic the water will probably keep flowing

Just drink from rivers n shit

otherwise we're looking at literal apocalypse shit and I'm dead anyway

I'm gonna get an extra propane tank or two though

worst case I have more bbq for a year or two

can boil the water in our water tanks

What if too many power plant operators or water treatment people get infected and have to isolate themselves?

The water might shut down for a few days.

Yes but you die at the end of the third day

but that probably isn't quite sanitary enough, but probably will be fine

And chances are that by day two you’re too weak to do anything

what do you guys think about water purification given rain water tanks

Even if you just have enough water for 3 days, that is better than nothing.

yeah

we have thousands of litres

gives you time to get more, should it run out

@Vindi Boil the water, orrrr buy a sani straw xd

I think you can boil the water, or maybe use some plain bleach to purify the water, don't listen to me though, do some googling

well boiling is not good enough right

Boiling is good enough if you keep it at a rolling boil for a few minutes

And not stop/drink the second you see a few bubbles rising to the surface

I mean there's obviously pigeon shit and all kinds of crap in the water

then no

Bear in mind, the dark brown color in swamp water n shit is mostly a byproduct of leafs decomposing

Dont be a pussy, drink the water

well I will if the water system breaks lol

so yeah I just need another propane tank or two

I calculated 1 propane tank runs for about 20 hours on my bbq

which I can use to boil water even if the municipal gas fials

which I don't think it that unlikely given we are retarded in australia and ship all our gas overseas

and also that we pride ourselves on "low inventory" aka maximum risk of supply shortage

Just go mad max and have a bunch of hub cap dew collectors

If the tank is dirty, it is worthless.

Clean it out.

yeah

it would just make you sick

If you're serious about prepping, buy a couple 55-gallon barrels, pre-treat with chlorine, install a drinking water hose, seal tight and store in your garage.

totally counterproductive

Pair with this if you plan on keeping the water for awhile https://www.amazon.com/Potable-Aqua-Purification-Tablets-neutralizing/dp/B0009I3T3S/ref=pd_bxgy_img_3/135-3193587-8156224?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0009I3T3S&pd_rd_r=40845a51-801b-4c73-a003-295cfc74869c&pd_rd_w=wAX0Z&pd_rd_wg=oJMKI&pf_rd_p=fd08095f-55ff-4a15-9b49-4a1a719225a9&pf_rd_r=NM4H2ZZN6HRH6R6DNYMK&psc=1&refRID=NM4H2ZZN6HRH6R6DNYMK

what about boiling the water from my rain tanks
