Spare Water Storage

What do you store you spare water in? Plastic jugs? Plastic tank, barrel etc?
If you use a tank or barrel how do you get it out of there? Does it have an electric pump?

I see some using the 50 gallon tanks that you would spray pesticides out of. You can buy them at Tractor Supply but wondered how to get the water out unless you bought the one with a pump.

:E

Honestly? Pesticide tanks?

Even if you are not planning to drink the water from your RV fresh water tank do not use ANY vessel, tank, jug, barrel which is NOT rated as "potable", "food grade", "food safe" or safe for human consumption..

Even if those means are brand new, many of these tanks are not made from plastics which will be safe for human consumption. Those plastics often contain chemicals which can leach out into the water over time..

So to recap.. You WANT to buy and USE containers which are specifically labeled as "potable" or safe for human consumption.

Pesticide tanks do not meet this criteria.

Even if you don't plan to drink from your trailer water system, the NEXT OWNER just might and the chemicals that leach out could potentially harm the next owner and or family..
