FALSE - water properly filtered and bottled in PET plastic bottles has a shelf life of at least two years. There will be some water vapor loss through the container wall as well as CO2 and N2 gas exchange. Data on sterile filtered water storage in PET plastic, 1000mL containers go to over five years with no change in pH, clarity, taste or odor. Even better storage conditions and shelf life is possible in thicker walled polypropylene containers.
I know this to be true, 30 years experience in the pharmaceutical industry.
Yeshiva World News?
bttt
Well hopefully this is just a hoax. But they probably said that before 9/11 also. Doesn’t hurt to be cautious.
> if the power goes out, water is more important than food
Absolutely unnecessary to buy bottled water, unless you really want to.
There is plenty of clean fresh water in the reservoir of your toilet, on the assumption that you don’t use any disinfectant product (you know, them blocks that turn the water green or blue...) Just take the lid off the reservoir and scoop out what water you need.
Probably best not use the water in the basin for anything other than handwashing WITH SOAP. Three tablespoons of chlorine bleach added to that water should render it reasonably safe ON THE ASSUMPTION YOUR BASIS IS CLEAN. Don’t flush this water, just re-use it for washing.
There is also plenty of fresh water in your hot water heater. Just turn on the drainage fawcett and collect the water into a bucket.
Thanks for the post, Race. Your history on FR certifies your credibility.
wtf are you, ee cummings?
“it is actually going on”
Vulgarity aside, I do not dispute it is ‘going on’ but I question the validity of the claim.
Oh, now it's too late! My girl has hit the shower and she won't come out! |
Do you mean Wednesday Jan 7 or Wednesday Jan 14?
I think there would be a serious backlash on American Muslims if they tried something in NYC.
This is just a ploy by Muslim cab drivers to get Jews to over tip. They will stop at nothing to degrade their nemesis.
I am bieng series here!
Why would 1/7/09 or 1/14/09 be a significant date for moose limbs?
Thanks for posting RB and for the ping RR.
Very concerned about those in NYC.
Funny. . . “Removed by Moderator” doesn’t add much to the validity of the claim.
Hoax.
