Overview
Overview
Ideal for:
• Hospital emergency storage and surge operations
• Healthcare shelter-in-place planning
• School district emergency programs
• COOP and NIMS-aligned readiness
• Staffing shelters and triage areas
Ready H2O provides emergency drinking water in a rugged 1-liter HDPE bottle that can be stored for years and used as a functional canteen once opened. The water is packaged with triple-sealed protection to keep contents pure, safe, and tamper-proof during long-term storage. The heavy-duty HDPE bottle is designed to withstand drops, impact, and environmental exposure during disaster response.
Unlike pouch water or canned water, Ready H2O can be consumed a little at a time and re-sealed, supporting hydration over multiple hours of emergency operations. Once opened, the bottle can be refilled from treated water sources using filters, purification tablets, portable treatment systems, or infrastructure when available. The resealable design makes Ready H2O useful beyond the initial serving, acting as a built-in canteen for evacuation, triage, or sheltering.
The 1-liter volume supports emergency planning with a simple ratio: two bottles (2L) provide a 3-day baseline supply for one person in a shelter-in-place or evacuation scenario. For institutions, the stackable case format and shelf stability simplify storage programs for hospitals, school districts, emergency supply warehouses, and government agencies.
In healthcare environments, the resealable design allows a bottle to be issued to a patient or staff member while preserving access to clean storage for multiple hours. Once opened, the bottle can become a personal canteen, supporting movement between treatment areas, shelter locations, and staff staging zones.
Note: Manufacturer has transitioned from a 6-pack to 12-pack. Once the 6-packs are gone, only the 12-pack will be available.

Shelf Life & Storage
Shelf Life & Storage
Ready H2O is packaged for extended storage, with a manufacturer-stated shelf life of up to 20 years when stored in stable temperature conditions away from direct sunlight. The triple-sealed system and HDPE container provide physical protection against light, oxygen exposure, contamination, and environmental impacts. For best results, store cases in a cool indoor area between 40°F–90°F, off the floor, and protected from freezing/thaw cycles or excessive heat.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities often store emergency water in central supply rooms or equipment cages, where the rigid HDPE bottle reduces puncture risk, cracking, and leaks during long-term storage.
FAQ
FAQ
Why choose Ready H2O instead of pouch or canned water?
Ready H2O provides a larger serving size in a durable HDPE bottle that can be re-sealed after opening. This allows you to drink a little at a time during an emergency without having to consume the full amount immediately. The bottle can also be reused as a canteen, which provides additional utility during evacuation or field operations.
How much water should I plan per person?
A common emergency planning approach is 2 liters per person, per day during the first 72 hours of response. Ready H2O provides 1 liter per bottle, so two bottles represent the three-day baseline for one person. This makes planning simple for households, workplaces, schools, and institutions stocking emergency water reserves.
Can I refill Ready H2O during an emergency?
Yes. Once opened, the resealable cap and HDPE design allow the bottle to be refilled from treated sources such as potable supply lines, emergency water distribution points, or purification systems. Pouch and canned water containers are not designed for repeated use once opened, making Ready H2O useful beyond the initial serving.
Is the bottle safe for long-term storage?
The manufacturer states the bottle is made from BPA-free HDPE using materials similar to U.S. military canteen construction. The triple-sealed protection helps prevent contamination during storage, and the rigid HDPE container can withstand impact, flooding, and other unplanned exposure.
How long does Ready H2O last?
The manufacturer lists a storage life of up to 20 years when kept in proper storage conditions. No rotation schedule is suggested within this period, which can reduce replacement costs and waste compared to 5-year pouch water programs.
Who uses this product?
Ready H2O is used by individuals and organizations that want a practical emergency water supply with reusable container utility, including hospitals that need both initial storage and a way to distribute water during surge operations without waste.
Ready H2O provides a unique emergency water solution for agencies and institutions that want long-term storage with practical field use. Each 1-liter bottle is sealed for storage and can be used as a durable canteen once opened, supporting phased hydration during evacuation, sheltering, or field operations. The resealable design allows a single bottle to support hydration over several hours, unlike single-serve pouch or canned water that must be consumed immediately.
The HDPE container and triple-seal protection support extended storage programs without frequent rotation cycles, helping organizations reduce replacement costs and waste. Ready H2O integrates easily into emergency supply warehouses, classroom kits, and healthcare surge plans, and provides a simple two-bottle planning system aligned to three-day water guidance.
