Stockpiled water tastes bad? How to start rolling stock with drinkable water (for residents in Thailand)

Even if you want to prepare water for emergencies,

  • You're concerned about the taste of emergency water.
  • Long-term storage water seems unpalatable.
  • It expires before you use it.
  • You don't know what to choose.

Many people probably feel this way.

Especially in life in Thailand,

  • Power outages
  • Water outages
  • Flooding during rainy season
  • Delivery delays

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

The concept currently gaining attention is rolling stock, which is an easy way to prepare with water you normally drink.

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

Reasons why emergency water might taste bad

Not all emergency water tastes bad.

However, generally, people have the following concerns:

  • It has an image of being stored for a long time.
  • It's not what they usually drink.
  • It's rarely opened.
  • People tend to prioritize preservation over taste when choosing.

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

What is "rolling stock" that is gaining attention?

Rolling stock is a method of preparation that involves:

  • Keeping a little more of what you usually use
  • Replenishing as much as you use
  • Always maintaining a certain amount

When applied to water,

The idea is to use water you drink daily for emergency stock.

That's the image.


Benefits of Rolling Stock

1. Easy to prevent expiration

Because you drink it regularly, old stock is less likely to remain.

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 utilized in daily life, rather than just keeping items specifically for emergencies.

4. Replacement burden is distributed

It's an easy way to start without buying a large quantity at once.

Why rolling stock is suitable for life in Thailand

In Thailand, even in urban areas like Bangkok,

  • It's hard to go out on rainy days
  • Deliveries are delayed
  • Power outages and water shut-offs are common
  • Shopping is difficult due to traffic jams

These things happen.

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


How much should I 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,

  • A few 2L bottles
  • A few 500ml bottles

Even starting with this is quite realistic.
