Best Ways to Store Water Long-Term—What Actually Works?
Tried a few methods for long-term water storage, like food-grade barrels with bleach and 5-gal jugs, but I'm never sure if I'm missing something better. What actually keeps water fresh for a year or more, without weird taste or algae growth? Has anyone tried the water preserver concentrates or do those just add chemicals you don’t really need? Interested in solutions that are low maintenance and practical for someone storing a few hundred gallons, not a whole backyard cistern. Always appreciate any tips or first-hand experiences.
