Product Description
These SOS Emergency Water pouches are stored in high tech packaging that preserves this purified and sterilized water for five years. Each case contains 96 sealed 4.2 ounces pouches that are unaffected by temperature extremes and contains emergency water, safe enough for drinking, first aid treatment i.e. flushing wounds, cooling burns. They are perfect for Car, Work and School Emergency Kits.
TIP! When rationing emergency water to those at rest, do not give more than 4 ounces per hour because the body can only absorb 4 ounces of water in an hour by drinking, so any extra would be wasted. Emergency sterile water packets contain 4.2 ounces of water and have a five year shelf life.
Bottled Water versus Sterile Water Pouches
Water Bottles are made from porous, breatheable plastic. They can absorb odors, car exhuast, chemicals, etc. (never store bottles in your garage) and not to mention heat and light which will affect the growth of bacteria in the water. Water will actually evaporate from your stored water bottles. Not a good option for long term emergency water storage.
Water packets/pouches on the other hand, are packed with water that has been purified and sterilized (no bacteria)and packaged in mylar according to Coast Guard standards. This is why you can store your water packets in extreme temperatues for 5 years.
