It is a food grade plastic with ceramic filters. I have used this brand since Y2K. For a number of years my wife and I lived in remote bush Alaska where the water is sometimes of questionable quality. Being plastic it would ship easier without damage, it is also seamless. One ceramic filter will provide enough water for six people easily. Since the filters have an in-water limited life there is no need to use more than is necessary. Numerous retailers carry these products. Not having used the metal canisters I cannot comment about their function, but I cannot see why metal would not do the job. Your site is very useful and informative. Walmart has an eight-gallon water container that will stack, in sporting goods. Its great to have something that works for years and doesnt require chemicals or constant maintenance. Just let gravity do the work. I can attest to the ceramic filters. Growing up a tropical country, we had the stainless steel type container with candle-style ceramic filters. Had years of use in them. We did go one step further not necessary, which was to boil our water before putting it in there. Re: What Should I Do?: The Basics of Resilience Part 2 Here is a no-cost breaking dawn that can even save breaking dawn for most people and it has benefits in good time or bad. I take bottles my family normally uses milk jugs, large juice bottles, soda bottles and such and wash them out with dish soap and rinse after we use them. Then, I fill them 3/4 full with clean water. Then, I put the bottles in our large freezer in our garage. This does two things. In good times, this stored frozen water adds to the thermal mass of my freezer. Anyone who knows physics understands that things with lots of thermal mass are more stable in temperature and take less energy to maintain. In other words, with a full freezer once it is cold, it stays cold longer without having to turn on. The water bottles are free thermal mass. You could of course buy hundreds of dollars of extra food, but if thats not in your budget the bottles are great. Of course, if youre out of town and the freezer goes out, its nice to have it half-full of ice. The thermal mass should keep the food inside from going bad for at least a few extra days.
