Yeah they break down and start to leak. Not to mention giving the water a funky spoiled milk taste. We buy cases of bottled water and use it occasionally to cycle through it. I also have 3 water bobs to put in the bath tubs, 5 gal water jubs and a couple of 50 gallon barrels. Multiple means of sanitizing or purifying water as well.
Our house has a twenty gallon pressure tank operating off the well pump. We have a generator to run the pump as well as other things.
water filtering straws... everyone should have one??
