Features

  • 100 gallon capacity
  • BPA-free food-grade liner
  • Fill from bathtub faucet
  • Includes siphon pump

Overview

The WaterBOB solves a specific, common problem in emergency preparedness: storing large quantities of clean water when you know disruption is coming. Hurricanes, winter storms, and infrastructure emergencies typically come with advance warning, giving you time to act. The WaterBOB sits inside your bathtub, connects to the faucet, and fills to 100 gallons of enclosed, protected drinking water.

Without the WaterBOB, the common advice to "fill your bathtub" leaves water sitting open in a surface that has hosted soap, shampoo, body oils, and cleaning chemicals. That water is immediately suspect for drinking. The WaterBOB's food-grade, BPA-free liner keeps water completely isolated from the tub surface. The included siphon pump dispenses water without opening the bladder, preventing contamination during use.

This is a single-use product by design. The disposable bladder is meant to be filled once, used during the emergency, and discarded. At the price point, this is reasonable insurance. Store it flat under a bed or in a closet; it takes no meaningful space until deployed. The 100-gallon capacity provides roughly 2 weeks of water for a family of four at recommended emergency consumption rates (1 gallon per person per day for drinking and sanitation).
