Many people are interested in Prepping for any type of disaster
that inevitably will occur; the American Red Cross suggests storing fresh
water, food supplies and other emergency essentials needed to get through the
disastrous time period. Most of these type of natural occurrences such as the
flooding we experienced here in our building with Hurricane Harvey, only last
mere days, but sometimes have lasting effects. Many of us were trapped in
our homes during this time, so having a new water barrel with purified water
ready to use is the number one thing to have on hand in the event of an
occurrence.
We, here at Baytec, have Water Storage Barrels and a water treatment called Purogene, which is used to stabilize the water, to take out the oxygen so it does not grow bacteria. This will remain fresh in the barrel as long as it stays water tight. Along with this we also have a variety of pumps of which to pump out the fresh water and jugs or buckets to transport water for personal use. FEMA recommends storing at least 2 quarts per person per day as a guide line, for a family of 4 this is 2 gallons a day on just a normal basis, without the daily use of toilets or washing dishes, so you can see it adds up fast. Water is the number one essential need across the world so providing the container along with a stabilizer and pump to extract the water gives a good basis for emergency preparation. During the winter months some residents may use the Heat Blankets to keep the water from freezing in the barrels.

Spring time of
course prompts the Tight Head Rain Barrels for small water
collection or for heavier water collectors, they many choose to get our Rain
Harvesting Tanks, which offer a variety of colors to match their houses.
Other applications for water we have seen would include some using the IBC Totes for Pressure washing, or used at Deer Leases during
the Fall months for water storage or shower sources. One very popular
item among the Baby Boomer generation these days is the Water Bags, which are used for RV Water storage, who also use the
Purogene for their reservoir tanks.
Another series
of items would be for food storage; many use the 5 or 6 Gallon Buckets with the
Mylar Bags and Oxygen Absorbers to store dried beans, rice and the like.
We carry the mylar bags in many different sizes such as the quart, gallon and 5
gallon on up to 55 gallon. Along with this we also sell the heat sealers
to close the bags and the oxygen absorbers to take the oxygen out to preserve
and stabilize the food. Other accessories for these include bag clips,
flat, spout or Gamma Seal Spin Top Lids for Buckets. We also sell the
containers that are sets with spin top or square with hinged lids for easy
access.
We also have several products used for Gardening applications such
as the Open Head Barrels or the Variety of Brute Containers and Buckets used to collect natural products to
build Composting for gardening and making their own compost fertilizer.
We also have many different Shovels and Scoops
to help with the compost transfer process or packing it down.
We have many other items that can be used around the house for general use, feel free to ask us any questions to our email sales@baytec.net; call us at 800-560-2334 or visiti us at our retail location: 4761 Hwy 146, Bacliff, Texas,
