We discovered this product via Cool Tools, one of our favorite sites (and an inspiration for TIOOIN.com). It was submitted by a Peter Bee at this post. The WaterCop is Made In USA and could be a critical safety in your water system, especially if it is often unattended. The automatic water shut off system with moisture sensors can be installed by an experienced DIY-er but may require a licensed plumber (to secure an insurance reduction, you will likely need to secure a professional installer).

Some essential supplies, such as Calcium Hypochlorite for water purification, can only be stored in non-metallic containers (as the fumes will react with / destroy any metal and allow a chlorine gas leak). The preferred method of storage is to use all glass bottles such as this 250ml wide-mouth flint Reagent bottle with a ground glass stopper.

For more information on treating and purifying water with Calcium Hypochlorite, we recommend the excellent articles at SurvivalBlog.com for further reading.
