Yes .....it def does hold drinking water for up to 5yrs if its treated with chlorine (buy pwd used in pools) ya only need a 1/4 tea spoon for 100 gals. Also pick up a ph test kit to check it when you are ready to use it. Also you will hve to buy a valve becasue it doesnt come with one. The same Co (Snyder) makes one that you can put into place and attach a hose to (use a hose used for RV's). Love it and def have mine filled . I had put two patio block at one end so it slopes toward the drain to get the most outta the water put in it. BTW the plactic is certified for use for water storage. recycling codes 2 Yes .....it def does hold drinking water for up to 5yrs if its treated with chlorine (buy pwd used in pools) ya only need a 1/4 tea spoon for 100 gals.

That is exactly what I bought it for.I have rinsed it out and ran water and bleach through it for 3 days. storing water now, i will test the drink-ability in a month.however if/when the water supply runs out, i'm sure it'll be fine.hehe

It would hold water, that's for sure.My husband and I removed all the stickers, primed, painted, and placed ours in raised stilt-like cradles .... they look nice as raised planters and would LOOK nice as Koi tanks too .... but as the other respondent wrote, I would investigate before purchasing.

Not that often, I can't say in number of days. It holds 5 gallons, which is plenty. It's the holding waste tank that needs cleaned often. Because of smell. Even when the additive is in.

Hi, I have this system but I don't use it for my drinking water. I use it for my aquarium. Wish I could of been better help. It works great for my water changes. I hope someone can answer your questions.

You can change the primary supply hose to drinking-water safe if you wish. It is secured with stainless hose clamps.

No. That would be pointless anyway since a tank doesn't last that long. Just buy a butance refill cylinder and you are good to go. This has proven a handy little device for me.

It will run for a while after using it, as it is in fact refilling the holding tank. It should stop after a while though. Depends on how much water you used, but it does seem to take a while to refill.

I keep mine indoor and have had it for about 5 months without a problem. I do have to water every other day.

It all depends on usage. I would guess using it 4-5 times week, the tank would last around 6 months.

Hi Peter,So far I haven't had any problems with it, I have only had water in mine and I was it on a regular basis.

It probably isn't a good idea. Its plastic might not be safe for drinking water and you certainly don't want to confuse it for a gas can. Check out Jerry Jugs or Jerry cans. I just looked at some on Amazon that will probably suit your needs. You'll see that some are specifically designed and meant for water. I hope this helps.

I'm sure, I've had mine for a while and have not had any problems. I love mine and I will be buying more for my new tank

You nailed it - hollow, and yes water and deity knows what else can get trapped in there. However, it is dishwasher safe, fairly easy to shake water out, and not that big a deal. Less than perfect, but for the price I think totally worth it.Edit - 3 people gave another answer as of the day I responded - no IDEA what is going on there. Not sure what they mean by solid - but imagine the weight of metal if it was a block of metal vs. a "shell" of metal (like mine is). Maybe I got the cheap one but I doubt it. Would love to hear how my answer is wrong, but hey - internet.

Hello Saint23 The tank holds 6.6 oz of water. Which mine came with a measuring cup. Good Luck!

Not very long. Problem is this tank is only good for 2 years. Ive had 3 of them and something broke on them every two years and had to be replaced.

I've had it for only a month but it's a hard wintertime and air indoors is very dry and full tank is good for no more than 20 hours. I cleaned the filter after 3 weeks but I will do it every 2 to be safe with my hard water.

The casing of the filters are plastic. The tank is stainless steel. I think that the plastic is safe because it has to endure high pressure. I believe that the tank is the most important part. You will be using the water int he tank first
