FiIling Tubs With Water

Why do people do it? The only reason I can think of is to manually flush the toilet but what else could you use it for? Cold bath's? I know there is more and plenty of people do it I just dont know why. 

ETA- wouldnt your water still work (just not hot water) if the power goes out?

Re: FiIling Tubs With Water

  • I think people do it for flushing...and maybe using some for handwashing?  I sure wouldn't drink it!  I think its mainly an issue for people with well water...at least I hope so because we haven't filled our tub...but we did buy extra water...

    We have extra water too but I wasnt planning on filling my tub but was debating whether I had to. I couldnt think of any other reason as to why I would need it but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

  • If you have a well you wouldn't have water when the power goes out.

    Also, in the case of a severe problem, if the water supply gets contaminated, you'd be screwed.

    But I think it's mostly people with well water.

  • Well pump won't work without power, so you can't flush toilet or anything water related. You should be fine with out tub of water...
