SaveAqua with Tap and Adapter 1      $10

The SaveAqua Tap is an absolute must when you are trying to conserve water!  And the perfect companion for a hand washing station.  It is important to have a dedicated hand washing station in the event of an emergency.  The CDC states that, “Hand washing is the single most important means of preventing the spread of disease.”  With the Adapter 1, it is a perfect fit with the Aqua Pak 5-gallon Water Container.  Truly you can save up to 60% of your water that would otherwise be wasted.  Plus, the ease of use is worth it.  It fits right into the spigot.  So, instead of turning the spigot on and off and wasting water as it runs while you do simple tasks like wash your hands, the adapter allows you to simply push up on the rod allowing only a small amount of water to come out. As you release the rod, the water stops.  Genius!  If you purchase the Aqua Pak, you will most definitely want this tap and adapter!  Also, wonderful uses for camping, boating, girls camp, hunting, picnicking, etc.

Purify Water?   20 to Ready.

Having clean water is a top priority during an emergency. Natural disasters can leave water sources contaminated and unsafe to drink. It is important to know how to purify water in the event of an emergency for use in cooking, drinking, cleaning, and bathing. For more information and additional resources, visit http;//utah.gov/beready 

 Look for signs of water contamination including:
         • Water that has any odor 
         • Water that has floating material in it 
         • Water that has a dark color
 Let contaminated water settle in a container so that contaminates accumulate at the bottom
 Pour settled water carefully from the container through a strainer lined with a paper towel into a second container while keeping the settled contaminates as undisturbed as possible
 Purify the water in your clean pitcher or bottle in one of the following ways: 1. If you have a fuel source, boil the water for five minutes 2. Add three drops of bleach per quart of water. Let it sit for 30 minutes 3. Fill a two-liter clear plastic soda container about 2/3 full. Shake the bottle vigorously. Lay the bottle on its side on a black cloth in direct sunlight. Leave in the sun for six hours or more. This method is not suitable on a cloudy day or during winter months

 Once you have completed these steps, your water is safe to drink
