The problem
When the tap stops, what will you drink?
Water cuts happen more often than you think. Most last a few hours, some last days. Either way, the first 72 hours are on you.
Burst main
A broken pipe can cut the supply to whole streets while repairs are made.
Boil-water notice
If the supply is contaminated, tap water may be unsafe to drink until the notice is lifted.
Flooding
Floods can damage treatment works and pipes, and floodwater itself is never safe to drink.
Power cut
Long power cuts can stop pumps and treatment works, and leave you without news.
The gap in most UK homes
82%
of UK households have less than one day of drinking water at home.

The solution
Two simple things keep you drinking
1The water carriers
= Your water reserve
Fill them at the tap today and store them. On day 1 of a cut, your drinking water is already there: 3 litres per person per day, for 3, 7 or 21 days.
2The filter straw
= For after
When the reserve runs out, drink water from a stream, a lake or rain through the straw. It removes bacteria and impurities (manufacturer data).

Then: the filter straw
Folds flat
Empty, they fold flat. Fill them whenever you want.
Keep a whole stack of carriers in a drawer or on a shelf, and fill them at the tap when you need them: before a storm warning, during planned works, or today, to have them ready.
- A 20 L carrier weighs about 300 g empty and folds flat like a pouch.
- The 10 L carrier folds down small too.
- Keep your first days filled and the rest folded: when the tap stops without warning, your reserve is already there.
The filter straw
Three ways to drink when the reserve runs out
01
Straight from a stream or a lake
Kneel down and drink through the straw: the water is filtered as you drink.
02
On a bottle
Fill a bottle, fit the straw on and drink. Handy at home.
03
With rainwater
Water from a water butt or a bucket of rain, filtered as you drink.
It does not make floodwater, seawater or chemically polluted water safe.

How to use it
- 1.Store: rinse the carriers, fill them with fresh tap water, close them tightly and keep them somewhere cool and dark.
- 2.Refresh: replace the stored water regularly (we suggest every 6 months), or as advised by your water company.
- 3.Filter: when the stored water runs out, or if the tap water can’t be trusted, drink fresh water through the filter straw.
- 4.Treat if in doubt: if water may be contaminated by sewage, filter it, then boil it or use purification tablets, as the official Be Ready advice recommends.
Good to know
- Never drink floodwater, seawater or water that may contain fuel or chemicals: no personal filter makes it safe.
- The filters do not remove viruses. Boil or disinfect water from a doubtful source after filtering it.
- Once a filter has been used, protect it from freezing.
- This kit follows the official advice but is not an official government product.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is this an official government kit?
No. Our kits follow the official Be Ready advice (3 litres of drinking water per person per day, for 3 days), but Be Prepared is an independent company, not affiliated with the UK Government.
Which kit should I choose?
Solo kits are for 1 person, Family kits for 4 people. Then choose 3 days (the official advice), 7 days or 21 days of stored water. Every kit also has a filter straw for when the stored water runs out.
What is the filter straw for?
For after. Once your stored water has run out, you drink fresh water from a stream, a lake or rain through the straw: it removes bacteria and impurities (manufacturer data). It does not make floodwater, seawater or chemically polluted water safe.
Do the carriers fold flat?
Yes. Empty, the 20 L carrier folds flat like a pouch and the 10 L carrier folds down small too: you can keep several in a drawer and fill them whenever you want.
What do the filters remove?
Bacteria and impurities, according to the manufacturer. They do not remove viruses, chemicals or salt. See our water guide.
When will my order arrive?
We prepare your order in 2–3 working days (up to 5 during peak season or very high demand), then it is delivered in 4–7 working days by tracked service. Most orders arrive within 10 working days.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
Not yet. We deliver to UK addresses only. France, Spain and Germany are coming soon: switch to French, Spanish or German to join those waitlists.
Can I return my kit?
Yes, within 14 days of delivery. For hygiene reasons, a filter that has been unsealed or used can only be returned if it is faulty. See our returns policy.
Don’t wait for the next water cut
Fill your carriers today, put them away, and stop worrying about the tap.
