1:08 in the video electrostatic discharge: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can occur when a static charge builds up in a liquid and is released when it comes into contact with an electrical conductor. This can happen when liquids are poured, pumped, filtered, or agitated in non-conductive containers, or when something rubs the outside of the container. The amount of charge that builds up depends on the amount of liquid, how fast it's moving, and how much it's being stirred. It can be measured with an electrostatic voltmeter. You are measuring conductivity between source ( non conductive plastic container and resistive ground. (earth) usually measures zero. Not sure where the pinhole comments come from. In electronics capacitors use non-conducting materials, or dielectrics, to store charge and increase capacitance. Dielectrics, when placed between charged capacitor plates, become polarized, reducing the voltage across the plates and increasing capacitance. Capacitors can be of very high voltage ranges ie: 500 volts. Where is the consistent voltage which is breaching the plastic coming from? No one is pouring or agitating the storage container like a railroad car container.

Can I just add that if things are all good, you can pour out your water after a year and refill, that seems to be an easy way to keep the water fresh.

I JUST stumbled onto your water storage video, and saw the thumbnail for this one so watched it first 😆 Thank you for this great information and product list, I'm in a 1-bedroom condo and am figuring out my water storage options for a smaller space. The testing info is especially great, thanks!

Would love to see a glass water storage video. Thanks for doing this!

I reuse all glass bottles, wash and rinse well both the bottle and lid. I fill with tap water that has a high chlorine amount, so i do not add anything. I take a piecevof press and seal to cover the mouth of the bottles and screw the lids on tightly.

@@lunarminx Press and seal? the plastic film? That plastic will break down and you may end up with microplastic particles disintegrated in your water. Might be better without the plastic film. 🙂

As somebody that runs a water cooled PC that circulates the same water for years and years. You definitely don't want to use glass to store water. Any exposure to light and algae will grow out of nowhere even in 100% distilled water with biocide, eventually some algae will take over. I specifically use black teflon tubing and I don't use fancy lights for that reason.

Thanku so much!!! ❤

Nice. Perfect. This is very nice channel and the information is amazing. Also the technical way to test your water was perfect. Very clear and yeah 2 years waiting for this results just perfect

We have a well on our property that we use only on our yard and garden. Is there is filter available anywhere that we could attach to the spigot to filter it for drinking water? I have only been able to find whole house filter systems. I want one to attach right to our well pump or spigot in some way.

I don't really know of one. You'd think there has to be something that outdoorsmen or campers can use.

Was this tap water that you stored for 2 years?

The dollar tree sells reusable bootles. I have them filled. I also use most glass jars/bottles. I have about 100 5th bottles filled also. I also put store bought water bottles in cloth drawers, a layer going all across. For all the glass bottles i have reused get a piece of press and seal over the mouth of the bottles. Hint, the quickest way to get the oap out fully is to keep running cold water in it until bubbles quit coming out, empty and use a bit of water to swish and pour.

Great tip!

Do you initially just fill the canisters with tap water?

Yes, she did. Check out her first video for all th steps she used to ensure the water would be stored correctly. This video was done 2 yrs later to see how her storage method worked.

Electrolysis same thing happens with copper pipes
