FIFY....and yeah, it's not gonna happen. 197 atmospheres is approx 29k psi for those of you following along at home.
I keep some purification tabs in the canteen cup which fits over the bottom of the canteen. No reason not to.
I appreciate the sanity check, but I looked at Android Unit Converter Ultimate app again, and it insists 20MPa == 197.3847Atm. If its off by a factor of 10, I guess I'm NASA-ready...
Oops, Google agrees with me. (Is that a T-shirt?)
But yeah, I wouldn't want to open a beverage bottle with either pressure in it.
Thanks for all the responses. I guess poland springs is the way to go. ....so simple... kind of feel like a moron for asking! ha
Make sure you buy the good shit. You don't want to be stuck drinking walmart brand.
While storing water in your vehicle is admirable, I decided to store gatorade/powerade instead. If I'm stranded, now I have calories and electrolytes in addition to water to hydrate with, and no added storage space needs. Also, they have a lower freezing point than just water.
If I'm keeping something there for the 'what-if', calories + water trumps just water.

Makes sense. It also makes me wonder how long a McDonald's Shamrock Shake will keep in my trunk.
How do you keep water from freezing in the car overnight in the winter? No big deal as long as the container doesn't rupture?
Vodka won't freeze. Jack.
so whats the answer for having water not freezing while stored in the winter (I'm in the case of Poland springs group)?
Are you sure the bottom was a separate piece? They're usually stamped out from a single slug of aluminum. I'd bet it just cracked. That bottom edge is the weakest point of the metal. Pressure doesn't like angles.I was a bit surprised the bottom broke away from the rest of the bottle... I hadn't noticed before the bottom was a separate piece joined to the rest of it.
The crack looks too perfect, straight and long, so I would say it is likely a separate piece.Are you sure the bottom was a separate piece? They're usually stamped out from a single slug of aluminum.
