Question 1

the advertisement here on amazon first states it will keep water fresh for 4 seems then it says 12 weeks then 16 weeks. which is it

Accepted Answer

As a Community Emergency Responder I would think that an average family or person would have it all used up in 4 weeks , so there should not be a problem. It is not meant for long term water storage. I have 100 gallon high grade food grade water containers with a metal grid for stability which I store water in for long term use, but after 3 months I will use it on my garden & refill it to be sure it is fresh & viable. Does that help you?

Question 2

Is this reusable or onetime use? Checking in case I need to purchase more than 1 for this business Hurricane season.

Accepted Answer

The waterBOB is intended to be a one time use for liability reasons. The product is durable enough to be re-used, however there is risk associated with not properly drying out the bladder after use. If someone was to attempt to re-use a waterBOB and followed these instructions, potential risk will be minimized. 1. Empty bladder completely. 2. Replace fill caps loosely. 3. Dry bladder completely. 4. Fold bladder back up, tighten fill caps and place in extra large (2 gallon) Ziploc, seal tightly 5. Store in climate controlled environment. 6. When ready to use again, fill and treat water (with product like "Potable Aqua Water Treatment Tablets") prior to consuming. 7. To be safe, use test kit to determine water is safe for consumption.This would allow the product to be re-used, however I'm not sure if this makes more sense economically than purchasing a new waterBOB, you will need to make that determination.

Question 3

If, in an emergency, you lose your water supply (it happened to me after an earthquake once) what good is this product?

Accepted Answer

In many emergencies, including earthquakes , you will have some time before you lose water pressure, depending on your distance and water level to the city water tank. Fill it asap in an emergency , and most times you can fill it prior to losing water pressure, and while the water is still uncontaminated. Not always .

Question 4

Is this made in the USA like the Aqua Pod?

Accepted Answer

It says made in China,but it has US Patent in the USA. The company is from Florida. Way Safe Florida Inc. 14175 Lcot Blvd. Cleawter Fl. 33670
