Five gallon water bottle

Buying 5 gallon water bottle can be hard, not because of the lack of selection, but for quite the opposite reason. If you look at any catalog of water storage tanks, you will see dozens and dozens of different designs, from vertical 5 gallon water bottles to elliptical water storage tanks to whatever. And not only that, but they come in all kinds of different sizes and materials. How am I supposed to know which model of 5 gallon water bottle is the best when they all look so much the same to me. It is a really difficult choice to have to make, if you ask me.

Honestly, I just wanted to get a 5 gallon water bottle as a safety precaution, but I am thinking of calling it off altogether. You see, I live in an area which is really earthquake prone, and I thought, in case something happened like a natural disaster, it would be one of the best ideas to have an adequate supply of food and water to survive until help comes. I thought that a good, solid 5 gallon water bottle would be the answer. After all, there is only so far you can get on one Nalgene bottle, and if all of the water were to go out in my neighborhood, I think I would want just a little more to tide me over until the services were restored. A five gallon water bottle seemed like just the right size to have in case of emergency, but now I am not sure. It is just much too hard to have to chose which one is the right one when they all look just about the same to me.

I suppose I should stop worrying about it and just get it over with and pick one 5 gallon water bottle or another. I mean, they should all be just about the same, am I right? But I am not sure if that is true. One of my friends who is an environmentalist told me that the coating leaches off of 5 gallon water bottles and into the water, causing slow poisoning if you get the wrong kind, but she did not seem to be able to tell me which kind was the right kind to be safe. I have also heard that some kinds of metal 5 gallon water bottle can rust when left for two long, and I definitely do not want to see that happen!
