The Gold Standard in Reliable Emergency Hydration - This case of individual purified water pouches is engineered for maximum durability and ease of distribution during large-scale disasters, maritime emergencies, or remote outdoor operations.

The Datrex Emergency Water 64-Case contains purified water filtered via reverse osmosis and sealed in multi-layer polymer-foil pouches for optimum bursting strength. Unlike standard bottled water, these pouches are U.S. Coast Guard approved and designed to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and pressure in life rafts or survival kits. Each 125ml (4.227 oz) sachet provides a pre-measured serving to simplify rationing, while the compact case design allows for efficient stacking in emergency shelters, vehicle trunks, or classroom lockdown kits.

Key Features

  • USCG & SOLAS Approved: Rigorously tested for maritime and land-based survival in harsh environments.
  • 5-Year Shelf Life: Specialized packaging ensures water remains fresh and safe to drink for 60 months from manufacture.
  • Burst-Resistant Pouches: Advanced polymer-foil materials provide high durability against impact and storage stress.
  • Pre-Measured Rationing: Individual 125ml sachets help manage water supply during the critical first 72 hours of a disaster.
  • Compact & Lightweight Case: The 20.5 lb case is sized for easy transport and rapid distribution in bug-out scenarios.
  • Purified via Reverse Osmosis: High-level filtration process ensures the water is free from contaminants and safe for immediate use.

Why It Matters Standard plastic bottles degrade over time and occupy significant space. These Datrex pouches solve the storage problem by flattening the profile and utilizing materials that won't leach chemicals or burst under pressure, ensuring you have life-sustaining water available five years from now.

How to Use / What Problem It Solves Solves the challenge of long-term water storage and portion control. To consume, simply tear open the sachet at the mark and sip. Recommended for home, office, school, and marine survival kits where space is a premium.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Datrex Emergency Water over bottled water for my emergency kit?▸

Datrex Emergency Water pouches are purpose-built for long-term storage with a 5-year shelf life, unlike standard bottled water which typically expires in 1-2 years. Each 4.2oz pouch is individually sealed to prevent contamination if one breaks, and the compact design maximizes space in bug-out bags, vehicle kits, or shelter supplies. The US-made pouches meet Coast Guard standards and won't burst in extreme temperatures like rigid bottles can.

How many people does a 64-case of Datrex water pouches supply?▸

This 64-pouch case provides approximately 268.8 ounces total (64 × 4.2oz). For emergency planning, that's roughly 2 gallons—enough for one person for 2-3 days following FEMA's 1-gallon-per-day guideline, or a family of four for 12-16 hours during evacuation or shelter-in-place scenarios. Many agencies stock multiple cases per vehicle or facility to cover extended incidents.

Can I store Datrex water pouches in a hot vehicle or unheated garage?▸

Yes. Datrex pouches are designed for field and fleet use, withstanding temperature extremes from -40°F to 210°F without rupturing. This makes them ideal for police cruisers, fire apparatus, construction trucks, or outdoor storage where bottled water would freeze and crack or overheat and degrade. The foil-laminate packaging protects against UV and temperature cycling.

Is this the same Datrex water used by military and maritime agencies?▸

Correct. Datrex Emergency Water meets US Coast Guard standards (46 CFR 160.026) and is widely issued in military survival kits, life rafts, and government emergency caches. SKU 9209 is the civilian-packaged version of the same formula, manufactured in the USA and Berry Compliant for federal procurement. Rothco distributes this for tactical, preparedness, and institutional buyers.

What's the best way to rotate stock with a 5-year shelf life?▸

Mark the manufacture date (printed on each pouch) and set a calendar reminder for year 4. Use the 'first-in, first-out' method: deploy older cases to training exercises, donation drives, or personal kits, then restock with fresh inventory. The 5-year window is significantly longer than canned goods or bottled water, reducing rotation frequency and waste for departments and preppers alike.
