What is the waterBOB®?
The waterBOB® is the world’s greatest water containment system that turns any standard bathtub into an emergency water reserve.
How does it work?
It’s very easy to use. Simply lay the waterBOB® liner in your bathtub, hookup to the faucet and fill. We include a siphon pump to dispense the water into jugs or pitchers.
Why do I need the waterBOB®?
During a hurricane or tropical storm, water main breaks and storms surges can interrupt or even contaminate the public water supply. Without clean water it becomes life threatening.
How much water does the waterBOB® hold?
This depends on the size of your bathtub and how much you fill it, but it can hold as much as 100 gallons.
How long can I store water in the waterBOB®?
The water will stay fresh for up to 4 weeks, depending on humidity and temperature conditions.
How long does it takes to fill the waterBOB®?
This depends on your home’s water flow, but usually around 20 minutes.
How do I get the water out of the waterBOB®?
Included in the package is a siphon pump that easily dispenses the water into a pitcher or jug.
What is the waterBOB® made of?
The waterBOB® is constructed of heavy-duty 10 mil food grade Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) plastic. This material follows and stays within US FDA guidelines.
Why can’t I store water in the bathtub without the waterBOB®?
Most bathtubs have dirt and soap film that would contaminate the fresh water. In addition, debris and other items may fall into the water which would cause it to spoil and become useless.
In what emergencies would I use the waterBOB®?
Be prepared for any emergency with the waterBOB®. Every household should have several for temporary water storage during emergency situations and after disaster relief. The waterBOB® is needed for a hurricane, tropical or winter storm, tornado, earthquake or flood. Anytime there is a water main break or flood conditions, the public water supply may be contaminated and unsafe to use. Others uses for the waterBOB® include RVs and campers for storage and for homes and cabins in remote areas where it is hard to find fresh water.
Why is it called waterBOB®?
Water is what the liner holds; the BOB is short for “Bathtub Oblong Bladder”.
