Product Description
1 Pallet Puravai Emergency Water
The Longest-Lasting, Most-Durable Pre-packaged Emergency Water in the Preparedness Market! - (Price Includes 6 Bottles per Case! 132 Cases! 792 Bottles Total!)
Enough Drinking Water for 2 People for a Whole Year!!
The POWER of Bacteria FREE!
PURAVAI is the purest prepackaged storage water in the emergency preparedness market. When it comes to emergency storage water, even one little bacterium in the water can multiply over time and become billions of bacteria. It's called CFUs (or Colony Forming Units of Bacteria). Tested independently by one of the top labs in the world, our biggest competitor measured in at 3,330 CFUs per mL, yet when PURAVAI was tested by the same lab, the result: ZERO CFUs. That's a HUGE deal because what that means is your PURAVAI water is able to remain safe to drink, even decades later!!
The Toughest Water in the Storage Market!
Built to Last for Decades!
No other packaged emergency storage can compare to Puravai. Aluminum cans leak over time, steel cans rust, pouched water punctures, boxed water crushes, but our thick HDPE bottles are built to last for decades. Here are a few highlights:
- NO Seams: We use induction coils to melt a plastic seal on top of the bottle so there are absolutely no seams, and no seams means water can't get out and bacteria can't get in until you open the bottle, even decades later.
- Triple Sealed: Our bottles have 3 levels of protection, an induction seal, a click tight lid, and a shrink wrapping over the lid to make sure your water hasn't been tampered with. We work to adhere to government and military standards as much as possible.
- High Density Bottles: Our bottles are super thick!! They're built for the unpredictability of emergency situations. You can drop, scrape, or bump them, and your water stays protected.
- Floats: Even filled to the brim, our bottles are made to float in any water. You never have to worry about floods or dropping your water off the side of a boat.
- No Rotting: Because we use high density HDPE bottles, you don't have to worry about mildew and mold forming and ruining your water supply.
- Waterproof: Because our bottle don't rust, your water is protected against something as simple as broken pipes or even humidity in the air.
- Reusable: Puravai is made of the same material as U.S. military canteens and we added a lid that can be screwed on and off. So, you can drink portions of your water and close up the bottle throughout the day as well as refill your bottle again and again if needed.
- 100% Recyclable: Our HDPE #2 bottles are able to be recycled completly So, instead of overwhelming landfills, our bottles get repurposed continuously.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the more frequent questions we get about Puravai...
Q: What does the word "Puravai" mean?
Puravai comes from two words: "Pura" the latin word for pure and "Vai" which comes from the Tongan word meaning water. So, Puravai, actually means "Pure Water," or clean water, and that's exactly what we offer the emergency preparedness market.
Q: How does Puravai test for bacteria?
We use a full 5-15 day heterotrophic test to test for bacteria in our water, since we believe that bacteria can fly under the radar for the first 48 hours of incubation. Heterotrophic Plate Count testing is a procedure for estimating the total number of live nonphotosynthetic bacteria in water. Some people say that heterotrophic bacteria doesn't really matter, but if that was the case, then the EPA (Environment Protection Agency) wouldn't issue statements such as this one...
There are two regulatory groups that oversee water - the EPA and the FDA. The EPA has set an expected standard that heterotrophic testing should show bacterial counts under 500 CFUs (colony forming units of bacteria) per milliliter, yet when it comes to the prepackaged drinking water industry (bottles, cans, pouches, etc.), sadly there seems to be no limit to the amount of bacteria allowed.
We have found up to 10,400 CFU/mL in competitor's waters in the emergency preparedness space. That's equivalent to 10,400,000 Colony Forming Units of Bacteria per Liter of Drinking Water!!
Some experts in the water industry even say that it's sometimes safer to drink city water than some bottled or canned waters. When it comes to Emergency Drinking Water that may sit on a shelf for decades, you should never take chances.
For example, in 2003, the World Health Organization published an in depth study on Heterotrophic Plate Counts in drinking water and concluded the following..
Having zero bacteria in emergency water is serious business for Puravai, and it should matter to you as a consumer as much as it does to us!
Seriously, if your life depended on it, would you rather take the chance on getting sick from bacteria or would you rather have the security of knowing your water is 100% clean and cleared of bacteria, and ready to drink, even decades later?
Q: What is the shelf life of Puravai Emergency Drinking Water?
Because both the FDA and the USDA currently don't regulate long-term shelf life claims, several companies in our industry are making claims they just can't keep up to. The fact is that if your water is bacteria free and the packaging on the outside can endure the stresses of time, your water can't go bad.
Just look at the water packaged in soldered tin (not steel) cans that were dipped in enamel during World War II. Because the water was pressure cooked in the can (killing all the bacteria), and the can was seamless (not allowing bacteria to get back into the water), the water is still bacteria free and good to drink even 50-70 years later.
Because we are bacteria free and our bottles don't allow for bacteria to re-enter the water while in storage, we offer a 20-year guaranteethat your Puravai water will remain pure and secure. Each bottle is date and time stamped to help you keep track of when you bought it.
Q: Does Puravai come with a warranty?
Yes. Puravai offers a 20 year warranty from the date of manufacture which covers the drinkability of your water as established by government standards and determined by an FDA certified lab. We also cover any manufacturer’s defects in materials and workmanship in the packaging of Puravai Water.
We don't cover problems as a result of improper transportation or storage conditions, such as allowing the water to freeze (ice may form and damage the protection seals) and/or if the product is stored near chemicals, sharp objects, or other hazards that may compromise the integrity of Puravai bottles and the water inside.
In the event the water, in its original container, is determined undrinkable by an FDA Certified laboratory, Puravai will replace, upon request, the entire batch of unopened water in the possession of the customer with drinkable water of equal or greater value.
Q: Why do you use HDPE bottles rather than cans or other packaging?
Q: How safe are your plastic bottles from chemical leaching?
First of all, our bottles are BPA free, but also HDPE is known as one of the most safe plastics for food and beverages in the world. It's made of Type 2 plastic which neither contains bisphenol A nor phthalates. It is not known to contain any other harmful chemicals as well. It's the same plastic used to make the big blue 55 gallon drums preppers use all over the world to store their water in and the same plastic the U.S. military uses with their canteens. Yet, just like any other emergency storage water (including 55-gallon drums and canteens), don't store your bottles directly on concrete or near dangerous chemicals or fumes to avoid leaching and deterioration.
Q: Why don't you use soda cans to store your water?
Great question! We avoid soda cans like the plague when it comes to long-term water storage, and here’s why…
Soda cans are not made to last through the unpredictability of emergency situations. Soda manufactures have spent years at finding and developing the thinnest, cheapest way of putting their drinks into a can, so they can maximize profit - that is the aluminum soda can! If these manufacturers were concerned about longevity, they would still be canning in pure tin cans like they used to during World War II or in thick HDPE plastic like we do, but that gets way too expensive and would cut into their profits.
Also, the liners inside aluminum pop cans are thin. Dents from shipping or typical rough housing could weaken the liners and may cause aluminum to enter into your emergency water over decades.
The top of soda cans (where you drink from) isn't protected from the accumulation of dangerous toxins, chemicals, and particulates floating through the air during emergencies. And, to make things worse, the pop-top of the can is designed to go down into the can, which can push these contaminants into your water even faster. When you put your mouth to the top of the can and take a drink, the resulting possible diarrhea or vomiting can cause you to dehydrate faster than you can re-hydrate. A good pre-packaged emergency water, on the other hand, uses lids or something else to protect the drinking area where the mouth comes in contact with the container.
Another thing to consider is that the seams and pop tops of soda cans are weak points. Soda cans sometimes "pop" open over time simply from heat and cold shifts. Also, the CO2 or Nitrogen inside the can may even cause small holes in the seams of the can to expand over time because of all the pressure. It's not uncommon for soda cans to sometimes lose their pressure over just a few years of storage. You've probably seen that happen, right?
Q: What if the bottles freeze?
The beautiful thing about our bottles is that they are able to expand or contract in the heat or the cold and they go right back to where they were before. We've put our bottles through numerous stress tests, including freezing, and though most of the bottles remain completely sealed after thawing, there were a few that formed micro holes in the induction seem. So, we recommend not freezing the bottles, just in case. Store in a location that never goes below 33 degrees Fahrenheit.
Q: Can I leave Puravai in a hot car or hot storage shed?
Wonderfully Yes! Because our water is bacteria free, it can even reach temperatures of up to 130F and still remain safe and pure to drink. Heat tends to incubate bacterial growth, and without bacteria in your water, the heat doesn't effect Puravai water. And, since our bottles are tough and secure and flexible, you don't have to worry about the bulging and leaking that happens with other emergency water in the market.
Q: How does the water taste?
How does it taste? Like water of course! We have a pure, clean taste. Yet, just like any water that sits on a shelf for several years, the dissolved oxygen in the water might separate out. If that does happen, just empty a little water out of the bottle and shake the remaining water in the bottle vigorously for a minute to reintroduce oxygen back into the water, and the water should then taste more fresh.
Q: How much water do I need to store?
The rule for emergency water storage is to have at least 2 gallons per day, per person, and never go under 1 gallon per day, per person. That’s to make sure you have enough water for drinking, cooking, bathing, cleaning, sanitation, and first aid. When it comes to drinking water though, you should have at least 32 ounces of water per day, per person. That’s why Puravai Emergency Drinking Water contains at least 32 ounces of life-sustaining water inside each bottle.
Q: Are your bottles 100% recyclable?
Yes!, 100% recyclable. In fact, HDPE is the most recycled plastic on the planet. And yes, please do reuse and recycle!
