 Great product but much cheaper online Nov 20, 2009
By The Chief
This is a great product. Based on research, it has all the bells and whistles and better materials then competitive products. If you go to the manufacturers web site, you can watch a video of the installation, use, and drainage of the product. Also, it has a well laid out FAQ section.
Something to consider, These types of bladders are single use. If you fill up the bladder and then don't end up using it, you can either slit the side with a knife or use the included pump to start a siphon effect into the tub drain and it will drain itself within about 60 minutes.
As I write this the company has not released refill kits but I hear they are working on that.
Please look online for better prices ~$20 each plus shipping ~$5
Enjoy!

Awesome product, but how long does these things last? May 23, 2010
By Menehune
I bought several Waterbob directly from the WaterBob website and gave them out to all of my family members which is a great tool for storing water in case of emergencies where tap water would be subject to contamination or lack of distribution due to no electricity (for water pumps). It's clean and more convenient in a waterbob 'bladder' than the surface of a bathtub especially for drinking. Highly recommend it for any coastal areas subject to multiple of severe hurricane strikes... especially for island areas where evacuation to other states is not easily done with massive cost. It's for one use only, so it's best to fill it just before a strike occurs. The question I have is if an emergency doesn't occur within 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years, will the Waterbob hold up while being in storage? No way to test it each year like other items in the emergency kit. Other than that, it's a great emergency tool.

Nice addition to my hurricane prep. Jun 17, 2011
By SargeGC
The WaterBOB arrived ahead of schedule. I'd seen a similiar item on a disaster preparedness website (AlphaRubicon) and was very happy to find one online for a decent price. As a Sheriff Deputy in South Louisiana disaster preparedness is no joke. The plastic is food grade and is thick and durable (plenty tough enough for sitting in your bathtub). The pump is not going to wow any one, but it will get the job done. Those of you who are worried about light and the water getting skunky (my small bathroom has no windows so not a concern of mine) throw a blanket (tarp, shower curtain...whatever) over the tub.

WaterBOB Jan 06, 2012
By Alin Raven
This is a must have for anyone worried about losing power and water. I live in Florida and during a hurricane I used mine. We went with out power and water for a week. This water bladder really saved out bacon! we did not have to wait in a water line at the fire station like so many others. I keep reading people saying this is a one time use item. I rinsed the inside out with organic apple vintager and spring water and then used a shop vac to dry the inside of mine. Theres been no mildew or foul odors I would use it again with confidence.

Must have backup for your family Apr 24, 2010
By Dustin Tarditi
I live in an area that can get ice storms in the winter and hurricanes in the summer/fall. Having a backup water supply is key, and this provides a cheap and easy way to manage about 200 gallons of water.
The old advice of "filling up your tub with water" is good, but this protects the water supply itself. Soap scum/ residue could taint the water, and after a few days, the supply would be ruined. This food-grade vinyl bladder holds the water and even comes with a dispenser pump to fill water bottles or buckets.
We keep ours stored int eh bathroom that has the tub and it's cheap insurance.
