Many people may want to prepare water for emergencies, but

  • They are concerned about the taste of emergency water.
  • Long-term storage water seems unpalatable.
  • The water expires before it is used.
  • They don't know what to choose.

Isn't that what many people feel?

Especially in life in Thailand,

  • Power outages
  • Water outages
  • Flooding in the rainy season
  • Delivery delays

It's reassuring to have a stock of drinking water to prepare for these situations.

That's where the concept of rolling stock, which allows you to prepare without difficulty using water you normally drink, is gaining attention.

This time, we will provide an easy-to-understand explanation for those who are struggling to choose emergency water.

Reasons why emergency water might taste bad

Not all emergency water tastes bad.

However, there are generally comments like these:

  • It has an image of being stored for a long time.
  • They are not used to drinking it.
  • There are few opportunities to open it.
  • They tend to prioritize preservation over taste.

As a result, it can easily become "water only for emergencies."

What is "rolling stock" that is attracting attention?

Rolling stock refers to

  • Keeping a little more of what you usually use
  • Replacing what you use
  • Always maintaining a certain amount

This is a method of preparation.

When applied to water,

Using daily drinking water for emergency stock

That's the idea.


Benefits of Rolling Stock

1. Easy to prevent expiration

Since you drink it regularly, old stock is less likely to accumulate.

2. You can use familiar water even in emergencies

Even during sudden power or water outages, you have the peace of mind of having the same water you usually drink.

3. Less waste

It can be used in daily life, rather than just keeping dedicated emergency supplies.

4. Replacement burden is distributed

This method is easy to start without having to buy a large quantity at once.

Reasons why rolling stock is suitable for life in Thailand

In Thailand, even in urban areas like Bangkok,

  • It's difficult to go out on rainy days.
  • Deliveries are delayed.
  • Power outages and water cutoffs are often discussed.
  • Shopping is difficult due to traffic jams.

These situations occur.

Therefore, it is reassuring to have a little extra water at home.


How much should you prepare?

While it depends on the number of family members and living environment, many people generally consider 2 to 3 liters per person per day as a guideline.

For example, for someone living alone,

  • Several 2L bottles
  • Several 500ml bottles

is a perfectly realistic starting point.
