260 Gallon Water Storage Tank
Nothing can cause you to feel as uneasy as knowing that you don’t have access to the things that you need in order to survive. You can’t really afford to wait until there’s an emergency before you start trying to take care of the things that you need.
Being unprepared in an emergency can really impact the quality of your life. One thing you must have is access to drinking water. Yet, like we all witnessed in the wake of weather disasters like devastating hurricanes, that access can be gone in the blink of an eye.
What some people do is set aside a few gallons of water, believing that they can handle a crisis with a couple of jugs tucked away. While that’s great for a day or two, when the crisis stretches into several days or even weeks, a few jugs of water isn’t going to do it.
Water tanks are what you want to look at getting. Consider the 260 Gallon Water Storage Tank by Surewater is one of the most important purchases you can make that could help your family make it through a water crisis.
When you have a water storage tank, you’ll have the water that you need right on hand, ready when you need it. It will give you peace of mind knowing that your family’s needs will be met.
The 260 gallon tank can easily take care of the water needs of an entire family. If you have four people in a family, the tank can give you access to clean water for close to three months.
That’s enough time for you to find a source of water if you need to or for the crisis to be over and regular water supply restored. This tank is made from material that’s approved for food grade usage so you’ll never have to worry about the water being kept in a container that’s not suitable.
It’s also BPA free as well. Even though the water storage tank can hold a lot of water, it doesn’t take up a lot of space wherever you place it. It stands at 82 inches in height and is 28” wide.
The spigot is brass and stainless steel with a full-flow valve. The lid of the storage tank is plastic and the bulkhead has a rubber O-ring. When it’s empty, it only weighs 75 pounds.
When it’s full, it weighs over 2,000 pounds so when you set it up, make sure that’s where you want it because otherwise, you’ll have a tough time moving it. You can set it up outside, but the material will not prevent the water from freezing if you live in a state where temperatures drop to that level. The tank comes with a three year warranty and includes the protective valve caps.
