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
