Review: Good tasting filtered water that stays fresh for 5 years in the harshest environments - This is filtered water in a polymer foil pouch. Each pouch contains 4.227 fluid ounces. According to their web site they have approval from the USCG, Canadian Coast Guard, EC and NZ. This water has been filtered and filled at FDA certified facilities. The web site says it will stay fresh for 5 years in even the harshest environments. I wanted a way to safely store water in my car. I had heard about the controversy surrounding plastic water bottles, heat from the car, and breast cancer. Don't know if it's true, but it was a risk I did not want to take. I thought of storing bottled water from the grocery store or storing water in glass jars. The fact that the bottles have to be rotated more than I wanted to rotate them made this not an option for me. I might remember my car, but would also have to remember my husband's. Summers where I live soar into the 100 degress. Inside the car is hotter. I needed to store water safely in the car for an emergency. I learned about Datrex. It was a solution to my problems. Each pouch is for one use. The top of the pouch is supposed to rip to open. The pouches I recieved had a tiny hole punched through the area you were supposed to rip, making it easier to open. This hole did not help ripping it open. Photo of the tiny hole on the pouch is enclosed. I had to open the pouch with a pair of scissors. It is advertised as 72 hours worth of water, because this company thinks you shouldn't drink water the first 24 hours of an emergency unless you are sick or injured. This is actually printed on the back of the pouch. Don't know about you, but that is not how I am going to operate in an emergency. Since this product met all of my criteria I was afraid it would taste horrible. Before I tasted it I told myself. "It doesn't matter how it tastes if it saves your life." After cutting the dark area marked for opening of the packet off with a pair of scissors I felt that the water did not come out that easily. I cut the opening larger. Walked into the bathroom so I could spit it out. No need to spit it out. Shock of all shocks, the water tastes good! So glad I found this product. I carry it in my car along with Mainstay Emergency Rations. Both products are made to withstand harsh environments. ## Features - Emergency purified water for immediate use; lightweight and extremely compact(12)-125 ml sachets - Loss potential minimized due to individual sachets and ideal for storage - Easy to dispense from a pre-measured sachet; superior packaging materials for optimum durability in your survival kit - Such, Canadian Coast guard, EC and NZ approval (nan 8960 0112 4454 3) - Expiration of 12/2027 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001CS53E2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,508 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #2 in Home Emergency Survival Kits | | Brand | Datrex | | Brand Name | Datrex | | Coin Variety 1 | Purified | | Container Type | Pouch | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,811 Reviews | | Flavor | unflavored | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00766359169095 | | Included Components | 12 water pouches | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 4 x 6 inches | | Item Form | sachet | | Item Package Weight | 1.69 kg | | Item Type Name | Datrex Emergency Water Packet - 3 Day/72 Hour Supply (12 packets) | | Item Volume | 125 ml | | Item Weight | 3.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | A.C.

Needless to say nothing lasts forever including these water bags. If they are getting dried out or have micro cracked seams bacteria can get into the water. Throw those things out rather than take a chance for $15! Or water some plants. Of course you wrote that back in Oct 2012 so I hope all is well if you drank them.When I received mine last week they were already a few months old. But it is a real good tasting water, tastes like a good spring water. **Q: Does anybody know if these packages are freezable? I want to use them in my emergency bag for my truck but I am worried the packages might explode!** A: I have about a dozen of these that I have stored in my truck. I live in upstate NY where temps can drop well below freezing and into the single digits(both positive and negative) and have had them in there for about 3 years now. They freeze solid every winter and thaw every spring. None have popped. **Q: Can these water pouches be stored in the car?** A: Yes, I've kept them in my car for three winters so far an no leaks as far a I can tell. They have definitely been through many freeze/thaw cycles as I live in the northeast. **Q: Are the pouches easy to use and open? Does the water immediately begin to pour out? How is the taste?** A: Yes easy to open and use. You can just rip a corner from the top and drink from the pouch directly which I have done or pour out. The water taste great I have drank several of them before and still have plenty. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect size for emergency kits *by S***N on June 6, 2026* We purchased these small water packets to keep in our car first aid kits and emergency backpacks.
