    Great thread. I've been thinking about having a little stored water on hand.

    Question.
    Do you have a hot water heater?
    What size is it? How many gallons does it hold?
    Doesn't it have a drain valve on the bottom that you can attach a garden hose to?

    This is a great source for water because the water is going to be fresh. It is replaced every time you turn on the hot water. If you do need water this would be fresh and on hand. You might even have a garden hose to use. Best of all it will not take up more space.

    Good thought, but only as long as you frequently drain your water heater. The drains are placed at the bottom which is where all the sediment and rust settles. If you've ever drained one, you'll see all kinds of nasty stuff come out.

    yes
    but easy to strain with a clean t shirt if you need water
