The Mayday 30 Gallon Water Barrel gives a household one place to build its water reserve at home. It holds 30 gallons (113 liters) in blue, food grade, BPA-free HDPE that is FDA compliant.

Two 2" closures, one BTS and one NPT with a 3/4" NPT insert, accept vented and non-vented plugs and dispensing equipment, so you can set the barrel up for the way you plan to draw water.

Why it works:

  • A household reserve in one container: 30 gallons (113 liters) in a single barrel, so the stored supply sits in one spot instead of across many jugs.
  • Material suited to stored drinking water: Food grade, BPA-free HDPE that is FDA compliant, in blue.
  • Fits the dispensing setup you choose: One 2" BTS closure and one 2" NPT closure with a 3/4" NPT insert accept vented and non-vented plugs and dispensing equipment.
  • Moves with standard drum handling gear: A molded top ring is made for handling with a hoist, parrot grabber, side grabber, hand truck or fork-lift.

Who it's built for:

Built for households setting up a water reserve at home, especially those who want to fit their own plugs or dispensing equipment.
