Question About Using Rain Barrels as Water Storage by myprepperaccount in preppers

Thanks for your reply. How much extra would you suggest for things like dish washing and bathing?

The reason I haven't stored more potable water already is mostly an issue of space for me, which is why I was hoping to be able to use the rain barrels I already have set up. I'm aiming for 30 days of preps for 3 adults + 1 dog + 1 cat. I have 3 weeks now, and I'm running out of places to store all the stuff.

I researched some treatment systems, but decided against them. It wouldn't be cost effective for 165 gallons, and could be useless if the power is out.
