Using a Water Bob

A Water Bob is a food grade plastic bag that you can put in your tub to collect drinkable water. This is useful if you believe you will have a power outage or if you believe your pipes will freeze and you will not have access to drinkable water. We just experienced a severe polar vortex, and our pipes did freeze, and we are going to have a few more very frigid nights. To make sure we had potable water we did purchase water flats, and we put our Water Bob in the

tub.

The Water Bob holds 100 gallons of drinkable water, and has a siphon system to transfer the water to other containers.

Water Bob in my tub

First we laid the Water Bob in the tub. then we attached the sleeve to the main water container. The open end of the sleeve gets attached to the tub faucet. Then you just turn on the water and let it fill up. When the Water Bob is full, you attach the siphon. To take the water out, turn the top of the siphon, and the water will come out into your jug or jar or bucket.

Siphon for the Water Bob. Twist the knob on top to get the water out.

It is a worthwhile purchase. Here is the link to the Water Bob that I'm showing you. There are many options for this type of water bladder, and you can find them here.

I hope this helps and Have Fun Prepping!!
