Holds 100 gallons of fresh drinking waterKeeps water fresh for up to 4 weeksBPA-FreeNow, I do know this water may remain fresh if you can get these tablets to refreshen your water. look at this: Camco 40206 RV TastePURE Drinking Water Freshener - 16 oz by Camco (Oct 19, 2005) You might be better off with water-storage Bricks - see:Water Storage Containers - WaterBrick - 8 Pack Blue by WaterBrick they can be stored under beds, behind furniture, and even made into a "wall".Most people by both the BOB & the Bricks. Good Luck!

I think us Californians are better off storing water in sturdy, well-made containers-whatever that may be. When a quake hits, if it's large enough to rupture and therefore contaminate the water supply, it'll be too late. As you mentioned, no warning. Get bunch of those blue, 7 gal., water reliance containers. If you have the room, a couple 55 gal. blue drums. and treat with purification tablets.

Should be fine for a month for drinking etc. Use for cooking maybe a little longer. Use for flushing until it is gone. If you are looking for long term storage of water you need to consider other methods of storage and different containers that would provide you quality water for longer periods of time, barrels, bricks, bottles, or five gallon jugs.

The package says "Keeps water fresh for up to 4 weeks." I have them more for blizzards and hurricanes myself, since you have at least some warning.

I am glad you asked this question, because it was of my concerns as well. So, I called the company that manufactures them. They told me the water is drinkable up to a month in storage. In time, the polyvinyl chloride begins to contaminate the water inside, and you can't even use a filter to remove them from the water. However, you can still use the water for bathing and cleaning dishes etc,. Glass would be your best way to store water in my opinion. Or, you may have seen fifty-five gallon containers that will keep your "Drinking" water safe for extended periods of time. I would strongly recommend you buy some iodine tablets that can be placed in water that is standing for a long time. Iodine will help destroy any microorganisms that can contaminate the water. Another thing you should have handy is a water purifying pump. They are small and light weight; and will filter almost any water from a stream or lake. They remove 99.9% of the impurities, making almost any water source drinkable. It takes about ten minutes to filter a liter of water. They can be used for roughly 100 times, but they have replacement filters that are very affordable.The pumps are lightweight and will fit in your pocket. You merely use the pump that comes with them to begin the process. I can tell you I have two water bobbles filled in my home in case of a major shutdown of electricity, or water contamination.I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. If not, feel free to ask me any question I may not have answered to your satisfaction. Thankyou!

I am 73 and I very good health thank you. No water passes though the pressure regulator valve. This is why California is going broke with many of these useless regulations. You would have to drink 50 gallons of water a day to get any where near any amount of lead. If this makes you feel good, then avoid by all means. Yes it is all about you feeling good not the actual reality. Do bother answer this because you really don' tT

Ha ha....we were actually going to suggest that, but didnt know how to phrase it. Good for you using your noggin....sometimes a bubble of air can form in the plumbing and it is hard to get it out. Guess we will have to add "sucking" to our technical must do list! But that is often all it takes in cases where water is not being disbursed. Sometimes things get disconnected or air bubbles form during the rough ride across the ocean. Glad to see it worked out for you...its a good little machine for the money.

I have used this bladder for just about everything and i have never had it leak on me, so I wouldnt be worried about it as long as the outside of the bladder is dry when you put it in

I suggest putting 25% flakes in a little travel spray bottle to start, then adding hot tap water to dilute. Then it won't tingle as much when you first use it. I use 50% now after my body mag levels became normalized. Your body sucks it in about 30 minutes then it's all gone. That's why most spray it 30 minutes before showering. I carry it around everywhere.

Hi Ryan! I just use lukewarm tapwater. Provided you live in an area with safe drinking water and the chlorine levels aren't terribly high you should have no problem with tapwater. If you use cold water it'll feel odd inside and you risk getting a cramp. Use warm or tepid water. Though if you want, obviously you could purchase professional enema liquid. Also, I strongly advise you use a bit of lube to help it go in, so the end of it doesn't scrape on the way in. Lube's always a good idea.

That's what I was told by an expert & also researched it. It's why I add it. Seemed no matter how much 'other' water I drank, my body wasn't absorbing it. It's the only way for me to be not dehydrated and I live in the desert. Does that help? If I'm not clear, let me know & I'll try to be more specific. It has multiple benefits.

I'm not an expert but I would guess that of you're able to hold your pee for 4 hours, then you aren't drinking too much that it would be diluted. I hope this helps, I know it can be stressful!

If you have decent water pressure now then it should be fine. The size of the hole in the tip of the pik that the water comes out of is so small that it doesn't take a lot of water to move through, but since it's so focused that small amount of water shoots out at a heavy strength. My water pressure is just OK, and after hooking up the Oral Breeze I couldn't even tell the difference. I've been using my Oral Breeze for 5 months now almost daily, when I'm out of town I actually miss my morning routine and wishing I could bring it with me. I don't think my teeth have ever been this clean on a constant basis. If you have decent water pressure now then it should be fine.

Fine... I always squeezed/filtered the best water I could find. I thought the lake water might have a bad taste, but even that was palatable right out of the filter. That said, I typically keep a little lemon juice for my pack-bladder. After my trip, I back-flushed the filter and didn't see any particulates, so again, all the water I filtered was pretty clear.

We are not DR's so this question is best left up to you and your physician. I can say for myself and my daughter theirs been no signs of retaining fluid. You're not ingesting it.

I sat outside on a plastic coated chair for a few hours and did not have any soak through. I was up several times in that time and sat down on water that had collected in the chair.

KEEP out of water when not using,,,, if your not using it at all at the moment un wrap it , room temp room it will last for years

Not to be insulting,but there is another way to tell it's on,your water will clear up. Depending on the size of the tank,(mine is in a 20gal.tall),it took 3 days to clear it up.

In addition to Connie's answer, the water will dissipate if you are gone more than a day or so. I have to fill ours up ( no coffee) a time or two to get the water back to the level it's supposed to be.

i dont know but i've been using it for 6 years now and it seems the longer i use it the more my body is adapting to it. example yesterday, my urine smells in the morning (i can tell its uti - from many episodes of uti). i took 1 capsule, drank 500 ml of bottled water, laid down for 30 minutes, to fill up my bladder then got up and self cathed. i had 700 ml output, urine still cloudy but no more smell. then my urine cleared up for the rest of the day. (i self cath every 4 hours).

Most water pressure is set to roughly 40 lbs. That is about average. My guess it that the bladder has less than 20 lbs. The internal bladder has got to be set lower than the max pressure or it will no compress.
