Water Bob

5 Comments 03 April 2010

Okay, so you live on the 10th floor of a 20 story high rise and there’s no way you can fit a 55-gallon water barrel on your patio. However, you do understand the need to store water or at least the ability to store it. So what do you do? You can fill your bedroom closet with 2-liter bottles full of water or you can slide your Water Bob from underneath your bed and have the ability to secure 100 gallons of water. While I still recommend having a couple of cases of bottled water set aside, there’s no question you’ll need more, way more to survive a couple of weeks. Additionally, with one of these you don’t have to worry about, “when was the last time I cleaned the tub?” or worry about slowly losing your water because the drain isn’t fitting properly and it stores water for up 4 weeks. Right now you can find these on CheaperThanDirt.com for about $19.  There’s also a couple of reviews on there so you can see what others had to say about it. Don’t wait until you experience some sort of calamity to realize or wish you had one. Get it before you need it.

The waterBOB® is constructed of heavy-duty 10 mil food grade Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) plastic. This material follows and stays within US FDA guidelines.

  1. Great post Donta! Water storage & filtration is supremely important.

    Live in an apartment, and have 35 gallons of water stored in collapsible 5 gallon water containers. I recently bought the Water Bob recently for additional water storage if needed… Great value for what it is…

    Not yet… It sits in my closet until I 'need' to use it. I was impressed with it the first time I saw it. It was a must have. Have you tested one yet?

      I have tested mine, filled it to the top and let it sit for a good week. No leaks and the pump works great. the only down side is once its empty its tough to get dried out and back in storage…..so only use it if you have to (obviously).

  4. I have been looking at these. Thanks for the info.
