You CAN'T test a water bladder. Once it's got water in it, storing it is not an option. It is a ONE TIME use product. They make no bones about stressing that fact in the instructions.

Then buy 2 and test one....
...........Been working for 100 years.
Does it filter out that NASTY city chlorine?
Local news had a tip I'd have never thought of, fill the washing machine.
Easy enough to remove the agitator, of course having a front loader won't help.

Mike, the water coming out is as neutral as any bottled water I've tried. It is not for letting it sit for emergencies, gotta keep it flowing. Used to take the recycle out every other day for plastic water bottles so this is an improvement in a "green" sense. The city water here is so bad the .gov used to send out warning letters a couple times a year about its' hazards. They quit that because "local . gov" complained, I reckon. Joe
We have a well & a 16KW propane fired generator. Not many hurricanes here but we do have power shut downs & snow.
Yes it does.

Doesn't guarantee the second one will be ok.

Nah - that must be done by a Zero water or Brita filter.

The brand I bought (Aqua-pod) does absolutely NO filtration at all. You would have to use a Zero or Brita filet pitcher. Done before drinking.
When I had a full size freezer in my garage, one shelf was filled with 2 liter Pepsi bottles filled with water.
We figured it might keep the food longer if there was a power outage.
Filled the bathtub a couple times, just in case.
I have a well and a 8750 watt generator. Will run the whole house except for HVAC. So we too are GTG.
At our boat club on Clarks Hill Lake they FORCED us to go on city water and shut down our big well. City water sucks in smell and taste. No telling what kind **** they put in it. We now bring well water from home.
In another life I repaired and rebuilt swimming pools on the side. When I filled one with city water. It ALWAYS had some type of brown contamination in it. Could have been rust or trash. When I filled one with well water the water was always sparkling clean.
Some of you city folks might be drinking "Camp Legune" water today and not even know it.
AND chlorinated water makes TERRIBLE iced tea.
