Anyone know if Aqua Blox is out of business or still around?

Seems like every online retailer I check is out of stock (if they even have active page for the product anymore). And the Aqua Blox facebook page was super active then stopped being updated.

I don't know. The product looked innovative but I haven't heard a peep either.

Hmmm. Looks like Datrex/Mayday water pouches for the car kit then... Not sure I trust those "blue cans" not to burst when they freeze in the trunk.

Aqua Blox is just package water in small cartons right?

You don't have a brand of water in cartons at the supermarket? They are generally bigger, but not a big issue in a car.

Thanks, Tjin. Will check out that idea.

Aqua Blox was claiming stability of their packaging... no bursting when frozen, no leeching of chems from liner in hot car.

But to your point, could be other brands out there using similar packaging. Will take a look!

I bought a case of their Aqualiterz a few months ago online from Costco. I've had some Aquablox stored in my truck for four years. No leaks and still tastes good.

Hi,
how much water for how many dollars?

10.5 cents per oz

Hi,
You bought some? Your rationale?

Checking your math I get a different number
$34.95 shipping included / 4.225 oz (60 Pack)

$34.95 / 253.5 oz ( 1.980 gallon )
0.137869822485207 dollars per oz
or 14 cents per oz
or 7.253 oz per dollar

At ten cents an oz you're looking at $25.35 for 253.5 oz / ~2 gallon

Compare to bottled water for $1
1 gallon jug
or six 16.9 fl oz bottles ( 101.4 fl oz or 0.7922 gallon)

No doubt that that USCG/SOLAS certified emergency drinking water is waaaay more expensive. Not sure if anyone has read the specs for testing, but they are pretty impressive.

I think for many of us being able to store some water in a vehicle without worrying about it freezing and bursting on cold nights, or leeching chemicals on hot summer afternoons, and being free from the hassle of constant rotation, is well worth the price for the small amount of water we are talking about.


Would I spend that kinda money for my main water stash at home? Certainly not! But limited quantities for the vehicles? For sure.
