MAINSTAY EMERGENCY DRINKING WATER
      
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
ABOUT OUR WATER VS. BOTTLED WATER


MAINSTAY METALLIZED WATER SACHETS

U.S. Coast Guard approved Five-year shelf-life recommended

No oxygen transfer, will remain usable for long periods of time

Pre-measured�easy to dispense packets...prime consideration in time of 
rationing

Loss minimized, should a sachet be dropped/ destroyed, only 4.225 oz 
would be lost

Easy to transport

18 Ibs. per case (60 packets per case)

Purified and sterilized

No special storage environment required (acceptable at -40� F to 230� F)

Excellent for primary response (it will take time to reestablish 
auxiliary water sources)

Cost and labor efficient

Rotate every five years

Minimum labor involved - no need for cups

         BOTTLED WATER

6 month shelf-life, no written guarantee

Oxygen transfer may occur; it is not sterilized... 
bacteria-contamination may occur

Large containers require additional storage, cups/ glasses; difficult to 
ration

Loss potential is far greater (dependent on size of container, one 
gallon, five gallon, etc.)

Difficult to transport

45+ lbs. per five gallon container

Requires storage in a cool, dark environment to retard potential 
bacteria growth

May be available for secondary source

Cost and labor inefficient

Rotate every six months

Labor involved to maintain purifying and rotating schedules

Purification needed; can only be purified twice
