so, i picked up some bpa free jerry cans to store water in for emergency preparedness. living in eastern ky, i have access to "tapped" natural spring water and was contemplating using this to store as it is abundant and free. i know that the water has been deemed clean but it also has a very high mineral content (which is why i don't regularly drink it....KIDNEY STONES HURT!).
my concern for long term storage is that there is no chlorine in it and that existing bacteria could grow. does anyone have any input on this? using tap water is no big deal i just like the idea of the spring water a little better.
also, is there anything i should be thinking about adding to the water for long term storage?
thanks guys....any input is appreciated!
