Water is the elixir of life, and its importance cannot be overstated. In our everyday lives, we often take access to clean and safe water for granted. However, in times of emergencies or disasters, this precious resource can become scarce or contaminated, posing a serious threat to our survival. In today’s world, our water supply systems are generally reliable. However, they are not immune to disruptions caused by natural disasters, infrastructure failures, or contamination incidents. Recent events, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and waterborne disease outbreaks, have highlighted the fragility of our water infrastructure. That’s where the Sagan Life^® AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit comes into play. The product is a versatile and efficient solution designed to ensure you have access to clean, potable water in any emergency.

In this article, we will delve into the reasons why every home should have an AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit as part of its survival essentials. We will explore the importance of water in emergencies, the key features of the AquaBrick® kit, its applications, and why it stands out as a reliable choice for safeguarding your family’s well-being.

What is the AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit?

The AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit is a comprehensive water storage and purification solution designed for emergency preparedness. It consists of a set of two AquaBrick^® containers, a hand pump, two flat caps, a pump cap, a ventless spigot, and a high-performance filtration system found in the AquaBrick Water Filtration System. These components work together to ensure that you have access to safe and potable water in challenging circumstances and can store the clean water in a ruggedly durable container.

Key Features of the AquaBrick^® Kit

AquaBrick^® Containers: The heart of the kit, these sturdy containers are designed to store water and are built to withstand rough handling. Our containers are proven to be leakproof and crushproof. They are stackable and can be easily transported, making them an ideal choice for emergency situations. As an emergency water purification system, it is second to none.

Hand Pump: The included hand pump allows you to extract water from the AquaBrick^® containers without the need for electricity or batteries. This manual operation ensures that you can access your stored water even when power is unavailable.

Filtration System: The kit features a high-quality filtration system capable of removing harmful contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, and chemical pollutants. This purification process ensures that the water you consume is completely safe for drinking, cooking, and washing.

Durability and Longevity

The AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit is engineered for durability and longevity. The containers are made of BPA Free High Density/High Impact Polyethylene Plastic, which not only opaque, but is resistant to impact, UV rays, and harsh weather conditions. The containers were tested to be crushproof and leakproof. Watch the video of this test. This ensures that your water supply remains intact and safe even in challenging environments.

Applications of the AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit

Home Preparedness – Having an AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit at home is like having an insurance policy for your family’s well-being. In the event of a disaster, such as an earthquake, flood, or extended power outage, access to clean water can be limited. With the AquaBrick^® kit, you can ensure that your family and pets have a reliable and safe source of drinking water until normal services are restored.

Outdoor Adventures and Camping – The AquaBrick^® kit is not limited to emergency use; it’s also an excellent companion for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you’re camping, hiking, boating, or engaging in outdoor activities such as sporting or other recreational events, having an efficient portable water purification system can enhance your safety and convenience.

Humanitarian Aid and Relief Efforts – In disaster-stricken areas or regions with limited access to clean water, humanitarian organizations can benefit greatly from the AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit. Its portability, stackability, durability, and ease of use make it an invaluable tool for delivering safe drinking water to those in need during relief operations.

Why AquaBrick^® Stands Out

Rigorous Testing and Certification – Sagan Life^® is committed to delivering products of the highest quality and safety standards. The AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its effectiveness in removing contaminants and providing safe drinking water. It is certified to meet or exceed industry standards for water filtration.

User-Friendly Design – The AquaBrick^® is designed with the end-user in mind. Its intuitive design and simple operation make it accessible to people of all ages. The hand pump is easy to use, and the containers are interlocking and stackable. The two integrated handles make the container easy to carry and manage, even for those with limited physical strength.

Long-Term Viability – One of the standout features of AquaBrick^® containers is their ability to store water for extended periods without the risk of leakage or deterioration. This means that you can store water for up to one year before having to rotate out fresh supply. With the high-performance water filtration components, you won’t even need to consider rotating out the water on a yearly basis as the equipment will do all the “heavy lifting” to purify the water and ensure it will be safe to drink when needed.

Maintenance and Long-Term Use

Proper Storage – To ensure the longevity of the AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit, it’s essential to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will prevent degradation of the materials and maintain the quality of the stored water. If you are storing the containers outside the home, such a garage, be sure to store the containers on 2×4 wood, plywood, palette or even carpet to keep off concrete. This will avoid the leeching of concrete into the plastic containers.

Regular Maintenance – While the kit is designed for durability, it’s important to perform regular maintenance checks to ensure that all components are in working order. This includes inspecting the hand pump and replacing DuraFlo^™ filters as needed.

In conclusion

The AquaBrick^® Emergency Water Kit is a vital addition to every home’s emergency preparedness arsenal. Its ability to store, purify, and provide access to clean water sets it apart as a must-have survival essential. Our product is the best survival water purification system you can buy in the market. Sagan Life^® creates many superior water filtration products such as the AquaDrum^™ Water Filtration System, XStream^™ Straw Water Purifier, and the RV UltraFlo^™ Water Filter Kit, all engineered for ease of use, highly effective filtration, and extreme durability. In times of crisis, having a reliable source of safe drinking water can mean the difference between survival and hardship.
