I'll start off by saying that before any filtering or water processing/harvesting of any type......I store 60 gallons of store bought water in my pantry that are a combination of 2.5 gallon, 1 Gallon, 2 litre and 1 litre bottles. The concept here is to pack as much water as I can in one area of the pantry as I can.
I rotate the the water about every 2 years'ish changing it for the exact same size and shapes.
Last week we were dong some cleaning and I noticed that one of the 2.5 gallon containers had split open and lost water. It's happened before and I thing the plastic is designed to break down over time.
Normally you'll see the containers start to collapse and I swap them.
This time around there were 9 2.5 gallon containers totally empty and in original form. So I was 20+ gallon low on the reserves.
These leak so gradually that they get nothing wet.
Lesson learned do not store this type of bottle for emergency water.
