Quick Specs
What Stands Out
What To Check
The WaterStorageCube is a soft-sided, food-grade plastic water container with a spigot at the bottom. It is Amazon's best seller in Camping and Hiking Hydration Canteens, and it folds flat when empty, which rigid jugs cannot do.
It is built for the day before the storm. When a hard freeze or a hurricane is coming, water pressure can drop and boil notices can follow. Two cubes filled from the kitchen tap give the family water for cooking, brushing teeth and washing hands without opening case after case of bottles.
The Numbers That Matter
5.3 gallons each. The pair holds about 10.6 gallons. Ready.gov suggests at least one gallon per person per day, so plan the count around your family size and how many days you want to cover.
Food-grade PE, no BPA. The listing says food-grade polyethylene with no BPA, PVC or DEHP, which matters for water you plan to drink or cook with.
On/off spigot. Set the cube on the counter with the spigot over the edge and it works like a tap. No lifting a 40 lb container to pour.
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| 5.3 gal each, 2 pack | How many days of water you have on hand |
| Food-grade PE, BPA free | Whether it is fit for drinking water |
| On/off spigot | Easy counter use for cooking and washing |
| Folds flat | Where it lives when not in use |
Safe use. Wash and rinse the cubes before filling. Store filled containers out of direct sunlight and away from chemicals, and rotate stored water on a regular schedule rather than leaving it for a year. During a boil notice, follow your local water utility's instructions for drinking water, including water you stored before the notice if there is any doubt about when it was filled. A full cube is heavy, so set it where it will stay and keep it off wobbly shelves.
Who It Is For
The dad who has lived through a boil notice and does not want to fight the grocery store for bottled water next time. Pair it with a LifeStraw personal water filter for the go bag, Duck Brand foam pipe covers and Hometopia outdoor faucet covers to protect the plumbing, and it covers camping trips the rest of the year.

The Short Version
Water service is often one of the things that goes sideways in a freeze or a big storm. Fill both cubes from the tap the day before, set one on the counter with the spigot over the edge, and the family can still cook and wash hands through a boil notice.
