500 Gallon Water Container

FAQ: What container is FDA approved for drinking water?

water storage bladderQuestion: I am looking for a 500 gallon water container that I can use to store drinking water inside my basement. I was originally looking at plastic containers but maybe one of the collapsible water bags would be better? I need something that can fit through a door and something that's FDA approved? Would a collapsible tank be acceptable for this situation?

Answer: A Collapsible Water Container can be a great option for drinking water storage that requires placement through a door opening or narrow space. These tanks are designed to be flexible in their nature and can completely fold up for transportation into and out of small spaces. Once inside your basement, tanks can fill with necessary water for use in emergencies or at a later time.
