OffgridOutpost.com Starts Selling Stackable Water Storage Containers and Kits

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - May 22, 2014 - PRLog -- A plan for supplying clean drinking water is one of the most important aspects of emergency preparedness. Offgrid Outpost is now selling emergency water storage kits made by Legacy Premium to ensure its customers have adequate water storage capability. Each kit includes stackable 5-gallon storage boxes, pouring spouts, a filling hose, 3/4-inch spigots, and Aquamira water treatment tablets.

Availability of drinking water can be affected by pollution, emergencies and natural disasters. For example, in early 2014 in West Virginia, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin warned citizens to stop using tap water due to chemical contamination of the Elk River, which supplies drinking water to over 300,000 people via the West Virginia American Water Company. (source: www.fieldandstream.com/articles/hunting/2014/05/fight-clean-water) Residents could still purchase bottled water, although this can become quite expensive. Other examples include Hurricane Sandy in 2012, after which Manhattan residents suffered perilously low water supplies, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after which “U.S. and local government officials ordered the local drinking water turned off and refused to allow water or food relief into New Orleans. Hundreds of people died unnecessarily as a result.” (source: www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_6929.cfm)

General water shortages are now also becoming an important issue. The American Water Works Association recently released it Water Shortage Preparedness Survey, in which it states, “Future droughts and water shortages may be exacerbated by climate change, which can magnify the effects of water shortages especially following extreme sequential swings, e.g., water quality changes brought about by drought (where impacts can develop) followed by flooding (where those impacts are realized).” (source: www.awwa.org/home/awwa-news-details/articleid/2394/2014-water-shortage-preparedness-report-now-available.aspx)

To address the need for emergency water storage, Legacy Premium has designed an effective solution. Legacy’s spokesperson comments, “Our customers needed a better water storage system than the typical 55-gallon drums. Legacy set out to solve this problem and developed its stackable 5-gallon water storage kits that can ship easily but also have the strength and stability to hold large amounts of treated water.” Offgrid Outpost is now selling these water storage kits from Legacy Premium in 30, 60, 120, 180, or 360 gallons, as well as stand-along 5-gallon storage boxes.

Dylan Hunt, CEO and Founder of OffgridOutpost.com, states, “Our goal is to ensure our customers have all the necessary supplies to address their basic needs during a crisis or emergency. With 5-gallon water boxes from Legacy Premium, we are able to offer a functional water storage solution that stores and transports easily, while offering a great value.” Prices start at $20 for a stand-alone 5 Gallon Water Storage Box and $68 for the 30 Gallon Water Storage Kit.
