Unofficial five-year test results
Okay, so I bought this product over five and a half years back. Treated about 80-90 gallons of water and stored that water in Water Brix, indoors, as part of my emergency preparedness measures. It is time to rotate this water-stock and, yesterday, before I began replacing it, I took a long 14oz drink of the stored water. Today, I can report no digestive issues and positively normal time in the bathroom. Is it scientific? No. Would I drink the rest of this 5.5 year-old water in an emergency? You bet. While this is out of stock on Amazon for now, I've ordered a similar product to replace it but I wish I could've ordered this again - since I'm satisfied it did the job.

Read carefully expiration date.
I overlooked one year expiration of drops. Ready carefully

IT works
Used as a preservative for long term storage
22 update
A must for prepers.
Use as a preper way to purify water.
Sorry that received only 1 bottle of 2 bottles ordered; but it?s sufficient no big deal.
Only one drop will do the job.

Water preserver
Great for storing water for emergencies. Used in my 55 gallon drums. Easy to use and lasts up to 5 yrs.

Easy to use
Easy instructions, easy to apply ten drops per gallon... Won't know if it works unless one try's it in five years...lol
28 update
Bought twice
I emptied my 55 gallon water drum once after 5 years of storage in the garage. The water appears clean, clear, and smells fine. I keep this for emergency use and plan to boil it before use, as a precaution.

Does the job
What can I say? It does the job which is what I want.

Another potable water source for your "Go" bag.
Yes- easy to use, just follow the simple instructions. (2) tablets per quart, that's (25) quarts per bottle. That's (25) quarts of drinkable (potable) water in an emergency. Go value for your hard earned dollar. Thanks for asking!

Easy to use. No scary ingredients.
Like everyone else, I thought I'd save money by just using bleach instead of these drops. However, I found it impossible to find pure bleach with no other nasty ingredients added in. I even called the Clorox company to ask about it. It turns out that use in water for long-term storage is NOT an approved use for any of their bleach products. So I bought these drops and I am sure glad I did. The dropper on the top of the bottle produces nice exact drops so you can easily count the number of drops you're adding. I like that there is no guesswork.
A Staff Review Comment from WaterPreservertm
We're glad that you did your homework, and you've got the right answer! Household bleach is not safe to use as a santizer for drinking water. Companies that make bleach for laundry and other household uses, put ADDITIVES in the bleach. These ingredients are not safe for human consumption. That's why these companies DO NOT approve it for use in emergency water applications.
We've gone through a lengthy and expensive process to get WaterPreserver approved for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Their strict standards ensure that water santized by WaterPreserver is SAFE TO DRINK.
Great review and thanks for using WaterPreserver!

Directions for Use
I was confused about the expiration date of my Water Preserver Concentrate received today with an expiration date of 9/2021. However, after reading the attached instructions it appears that the Water Preserver is good for 5 years if ?used by? (EXP. Month/Year) the date on bottom of the bottle. Apparently if this product is used before the expiration date then it will preserve drinking water that is properly stored for the next 5 years. This reassuring information is in the Preparing Your Emergency Water for Storage section of the Directions for Use.
So, if I use my Water Preserver Concentrate before it?s expiration date of 9/2021 then it will preserve the water in a 55 gallon water storage barrel for the next 5 years.

Happy purchase
I was very happy to get this product because it is designed for 5 year protection. I still have to see how it performs.
76 update
Works great. Personally verified by 5 year test
I have used this several times. Will keep water fresh at least 5 years. I tested the water from my containers when refilling them after 5 years. The water did taste like the plastic container but there was no chlorine taste from the drops.
84 update
Worked just as stated
Five years were up and it was time to replace the water. I used the same product five years ago in these water jugs. The water looked fine and tasted fine. I was tempted to keep it however since they say five years I went ahead and replaced it.

Necessity for my Emergency safe water
This was a must include in my gifted Emergency buckets I put together last christmas. Clean water is essential and these drops help to keep it that way!
109 update
It Works
I used this product in a new blue 55 gallon water barrel and then I covered the barrel with a cardboard box to keep it clean and so no light could penetrate the plastic barrel. Anyway, my water has sat in a corner of the garage (out of sight, out of mind) for 7 years. I drained the old water this week. It was perfectly clear and clean and the taste was OK, though it was a little flat.
Some folks have complained about the price, but when you spread $15 over five years , I think that is pretty cheap for a product that is made for water preservation with no muss or fuss.
117 update
Excellent
Must have if keeping water on hand for a emergency.

Water Preserver
Second time I used it, last time 4 1/2 years ago. Opened drum no mold or anything growing in it. Tasted good and nothing but clear water come out while I drained it. Drum stays in garage in central Florida waiting for the bad one to come. So, no complaints, looks like it does what it says and hopefully I'll never have to use it.

Very easy to use!!
This product was very easy to use. No mixing. Just count the drops fill the container and your done. Could not be any easier. I have used other products that have part A and part B that need to be mixed and you need to wait several minutes before using. What a pain that is. Like I said, could not be any easier. Great product would definitely purchase again!!

WORS! PERIOD!
Ive got a 50 gallon water troft with a heating element in it so it doesnt freeze during the winter, for deer and birds..During the summer months I can clean it out regularly but during the michigan winters, I cannot clean it out, so water sits in it for months. Anyways I could not even see the bottom of it so I know it must be dirty, I tried other products without any noticable difference, but, After using this product I CAN SEE THE BOTTOM! Water looks a million times better! buy it!

Yes, it really does protect water for five years.
I live in a state that gets its share of earthquakes. I have stored water and other supplies for when "the Big One" hits. I have been storing water using Water Preserver Concentrate for many years. I store the water in seven-gallon plastic containers. About every five years or so I empty out the containers, and I refill them with fresh water mixed with a carefully-measured amount of Water Preserver Concentrate. I then label each container with a large tag, showing the date it was filled. So last month the five-year period was up on some of these containers. It was time to pour out the old water and refill. But I was curious: Was this five-year-old water still safe to drink? Well, I don't have access to a scientific laboratory, so I tested the old water by drinking some of it. I figured, if the Water Preserver Concentrate was doing its job as claimed, this old water should still be safe to drink. And it turns out, it was indeed safe. I drank about six or eight ounces of the five-year-old water, and I suffered no ill effects. (I did this on a day when I knew I would be home all day, just in case I had to run to the bathroom or something.) I expected that perhaps the water would have a plastic taste (from being stored in a plastic container for five years) or perhaps a bleach-like taste. But it just tasted like regular water is supposed to taste. So I am pleased to say that this stuff did work as claimed. However, let me add a little more info that may be relevant. First off, when it is time to fill these plastic containers with water, I wash my hands and try to ensure that there is no chance of germs entering the containers. Also, I tightly seal each container, and I store them on the floor of the closet, covered up with a thick blanket to keep away sunlight. So I am really anal about doing what I can to make sure the water will stay drinkable.

It works and that is what matters
I have used the product for years now and I even drink the water at the 5 year mark with no issues. I read all the reviews and see all the back and forth comments for and against it. Bottom line is this: I use it, I drink the water treated with it and it works. I tried a different water preserver and after 5 years the water was filled with white cloudy gunk floating around in it. Threw it and the container away. Never had a problem when I have used this water preserver. The same people who right negative reviews about wasting our money are probably people who just like to write negative reviews. why do you really care how I spend my money. Stick to the facts about whether it does what it says or not and let us decide how we spend our money! Use caution when you read any reviews because no one knows for sure what anyone's background is on anything. I could say I am a chemist like anyone else could. why should you even believe my positive review for that matter. people, do your research on trusted websites and come to your own conclusions and then try it out for yourselves.

Rinsed them out really good with a bran new blue water hose
Bought 4 blue 55 gal. Water drums. Rinsed them out really good with a bran new blue water hose. Pored water preserver into barrels and even rinsed bottle out to get every drop. Filled barrels and sealed them tight. I stored the barrels in the back of the garage and covered them with a tarp. I moved to a new house that I bought 5 years later and was going to have to redo the barrels but was curious if it water stayed clean, fresh and no bacteris. I opened the barrels and smelled , smelled good ! Started draining the barrels and all the water was Cristal clear ! Before I re-did the barrels again I needed to know was the water safe. I wasn't going to drink it till it was tested. I'm not stoopid. I carried 1 gallon from each barrel to the water board for them to test. Test came back 5 out of 5 stars and the technician drank some and said it tasted great !!! I'm sold ! Make sure you prepare everything clean ! You don't want to put bacteria and dirt in while your fixing your water. Your life and families life mite count on it. Make sure to date the container you use with a marker.

Easy, just poured it inside the 55 gallon water barrel and closed it.
We filled our 55 gallon water barrel with a 'food grade' safe to drink water hose that we bought from Walmart at the camping section. Then my husband just poured the Water Preserver inside and closed it, no need to mix. Please remember to put something between your 55 gallon barrel and concrete, like wood or carpet. (Supposedly concrete can sometimes seep through the concrete into the water barrel, so putting something in between helps prevent that.)

Works great. I recommend not trying to pop off the top part in order to empty full contents into 55 gallon drum. If you do, make sure you are wearing old clothes because it is bleach and will definitively splash all off the place.

Great, what else can be said
I purchased this product for our cabin. We decided it would be easier to store our water there than to try to treck in a weeks worth at vacation time. Very easy to read instructions and simple to use when preserving a 55 gallon barrel. I highly recommend this product and yes I have purchased more....

Waiting for the apocalypse to test...
I'm not quite sure how to rate this since I'm keeping it on hand in the event of a disaster or the apocalypse. Should either of those happen, there's no way I'm taking the time or will likely have the ability to rate this product on Amazon; especially if there's an EMP attack and technology is rendered useless. My focus will be the preservation of my life. Also, if I do end up using it with water from say, Flint Michigan, and it doesn't work...well I'm a dead man and there's no review writing happening there. Or if I draw the short straw with a group of people who want to see how well this product works and I don't survive. Then perhaps one of them will jump on here and give it the old one star treatment. But that's highly unlikely since they wouldn't have my password. Maybe I'll write my Amazon password on the package.

Good stuff
Will review more thoroughly in 5 years
First received August of 2016 and used this brand to treat 5 water barrels. I had to move the barrels in August of 2019 when we moved. When I drained the 5 barrels, two of them were unusable due to a mold which had
started to grow inside. The barrels were washed out well but I think maybe something got left inside. The other three were fine and the water didn?t taste too bad. I just repurchased 5 bottles locally.

Cost-Effective, Easy Water Preservation!
If you are prepping, you will know that drinkable water is the number one commodity that you must plan for. Here is a simple and effective way to preserve your water. It requires only 8 drops to preserve one gallon of water for FIVE YEARS! The container has enough for preserving 55 gallons of water, so you really get quite a lot for the money. The container is quite small so it is easy to store, and the dropper top makes treating your water very easy. I've been very please with it and I think you will be too! Recommended!
255 update
Great product!
This stuff is is very easy to use and we have bought it three times. First time we had it in a large food grade drum for emergency water and it stayed unused for about two and 1/2 years. We moved so chucked the water. When we moved into next home (we were in the military), we bought it again. This time there was a water main break in our neighborhood and we lost water for an entire week. That big drum with clean drinkable water was a Godsend! Water tasted great! Then of course we moved again and now we are in our Forever Home and have bought it. Hopefully we will see whether it lasts 5 years but if it doesn't that means we used the water so it's a win either way!

Pool water is a perfect resivior when needing drinking water
OK I'm a professional pool guy. Let me clarify to all you idiot's that think pool water has to much chlorine and needs filtering? Any pool that has been stagnate and not running or chemicals poured in will have no chlorine in the water. Chlorine burns out of pool water very quickly. Why do you think so much is used to keep pool cleared. Chlorine does not linger in pool water that been stagnant for month perhaps 2 weeks or less time.

Worked So Far and Gives Me Peace of Mind
It is very hard to review this because it hasn't been 5 years yet so I don't know if it will keep the water good for that long but what I am rating it on is the piece of mind I have knowing I have 55 gallons of usable drinking water right now that is stored for emergencies. I can tell you that I checked the water yesterday and even tasted the it, I didn't notice any kind of 'funny' taste and the water looks like I just took it out of the tap. This is important because before I bought the 55 gal. barrel and this Water Preserver, I tried to store water in empty soda bottles that were washed out really well. No matter if I boiled it first or not, eventually there was a black mold type thing growing in every bottle. I am not sure if it was the bottle or the water but it really didn't matter because I wouldn't drink it. After all that work of filling and storing bottles, I had no water to drink/cook with had an emergency arise. (I get storms in summer and winter so I need to be prepared year round for spans of time being without water.) Now, problem is solved and I am happy to know I have usable water.

306 update
Preppers necessity
cute little package, tasted like rainbows and butterflies, and performs flawlessly! Well, no not really. Sorry. However according to the manufacturer it is tested for use at 10 years, but they rate it at 5 years of water storage. The flavor sucks, but when diluted in water (LIKE IT SHOULD BE!!!!) you hardly notice. When using plastic storage it does tend to enhance the plastic flavor imparted on the water, so be ready for that. Otherwise it is a no frills product that does as advertised.
308 update
So far so good.
I put this in the water I stored in my waterbricks. After a few weeks the water still tastes fresh, maybe even better than when it came out of the tap.
313 update
Excellent water preservative
This is simply bleach but safer since it is without the toxic contaminants regular household bleach has, (such as detergent, colorant, thickener, emulsifier, etc.). With 9 drops of this product, you can fill an emptied 2-liter soda jug with water that will stay pure and drinkable for 5 years; a protection for your family in emergencies since without water you are quickly desperate. You can build up quite a supply for yourselves in little time.

If you're storing water, you really don't want to have to rotate it every few months. You definitely want to add this up front to avoid that hassle! Easy to use and highly recommended for every time you prepare water for storage!
345 update
tested and happy
this is one of those products that can be used and literally never be tested since the only way to know if it works is to wait 4+ years and then taste the water. i can tell you that we just swapped out our emergency water supply after 4 years and the water was completely drinkable. recommended - no reservations.
PS - follow the instructions to make sure the swish the water around to ensure that the cover/cap is exposed to the treated water.

Water treatment
I ordered this a while back, it is probably the best thing for long term storage solutions on the market. I haven't tested my water I placed in storage nearly 9 months ago, but why bother opening it up if I have to go and retreat it again in doing so. The cost and shopping experience was really great and I would buy again and recommend to friends if they mention they need a product for water treatment.
Top reason I bout it:
Ease of use
Price

354 update
Excellent product for emergency drinking water supply in a barrel.
This is a 3rd time re-order product for me. I like the convenience of having a 5 yr. shelf-life for treated water. The one drawback is that there's only one size bottle available-- meant for a 55 gallon barrel, and I have a 30 gallon barrel, so I couldn't empty the entire bottle into the barrel. Instead, I had to tediously measure a partial amount of Preserver Concentrate. My choice with the unused Preserver is to keep it refrigerated or throw it out. (the opened bottle has a limited shelf life well under 5 years.)
355 update
Relax for 5 years
Was concerned about filling and draining 55 gallon drums every year. This product is great for long term water storage. Just be careful when taking out the clear, dispersing cap when pouring all contents into 55 gallon drum. The one I used flipped into the drum (what are the chances!). I'd suggest , after my mishap, that it be removed way away from the drum or keep lid on drum. Marked date the drum was filled and now can relax and not worry about rotating water.
356 update
I have just recently decided to have some long term water storage.
I have a well and it is deep and good, but I found out recently just how long it will take to get a new pump put in! I will have 100 gallons of drinking water and a swimming pool full of other water when I get done with this process. That should take me to the point of having enough water to wait until a pump is sent to the well man.

Just what I thought
I'm assuming it works fine. I haven't had any troubles out of the water yet, but I haven't used it yet either. Only time will tell more.
363 update
Reliable produce
I've been using this stuff for several years now. It does what it claims it will do: keep water microbiologically safe for years. When using the stored water with the Concentrate in it, you can sense a bit of chlorine-like taste. However, I'll tolerate that to ensure that the water is safe to drink, even after years in storage.

just what you need to preserve water for 5 years
not much to say except this isn't just bleach. if you need emergency water- get yourself a 55 gallon food safe drum. buy this. add water. write down date. change in 5 years.
shipping was super fast.

A valuable product
The basics of water storage are to keep it in water-safe, opaque containers, out of the light, and away from any chemicals (e.g., gasoline, paint, etc.). If you do this, water will typically remain safe for 6 months to a year. It's difficult to predict precisely since many factors, such as temperature and initial impurity levels, can affect the shelf life. So, if you're only storing a few jerry cans of water, simply pour them out and refill every six months. However, if you're going to store larger containers of water, such as a 55-gallon drum, or a SuperTanker, then you will likely want it to last longer than six months.
This concentrate contains proprietary stabilized sodium hypchlorite, NOT ordinary household bleach as the other reviewer suggested. Think of it as bleach that continues to be slowly released over time. Experts recommend replacing normal bleach-treated water within a year. This product pushes that shelf life from 5-10 years. Not bad if you're stocking water for emergency reasons. Do be aware, however, that treating water with bleach of any sort will introduce a chemical smell and taste - can be objectionable to finicky drinkers (such as children).
I would refer skeptics (or any potential purchases) to the company website (waterpreserver dot com). They discuss the testing and certification, and it should help you better understand the benefits of this product. Obviously look around for the best price.
