Filtered water also stores very well. I filter water and put it in blue 5 gal Coleman cube containers, and the good 1 gal water jugs that are CLEAR plastic that feels a little firmer than the frosted jugs. The frosted milk jug type plastic biodegrades fast, sometimes within a month of purchase. I had several 1 and 2.5 gal frosted plastic containers start leaking and coming apart a month after buying them, before even opening them. My good very clear plastic jugs are fine after years. Cleaned & disinfected soda bottles also make very good water storage, and the smaller are great for backpacks. I found a box with 4 - 1 gal jugs that I filled about 18 months earlier. They looked, smelled and tasted fine, I had the water checked and it was “amazingly clean.” I still rotate the water every 6-10 months tho.
