Muriatic Acid & pH in swimming pools

Muriatic Acid & pH in swimming pools
In medieval times, hydrogen chloride (HCl), known then as "alchemist's spirit of salt" or "acid salis" was prepared by heating salt (sodium chloride) with iron sulfate. Later a German chemist by the name of Johann Glauber made HCl by combining salt with sulfuric acid which became the common method of preparing HCl. This strong acid is passed into water creating hydrochloric acid, which is further diluted to make the commercially available solution referred to as muriatic acid.
The word muriatic is derived from muria which is Latin for salt water or brine. During the Industrial Revolution in Europe, muriatic acid was produced as a waste product being released into the atmosphere in its gaseous state. Currently HCl is obtained by absorbing hydrogen chloride released during industrial production.
Muriatic Acid is an inorganic, corrosive, aqueous solution. The corrosiveness of HCl can be used in many ways for breaking down the cellulose structure of a substance, resulting in complete hydrolysis. This can be used for leather tanning, brick cleaning, treating and galvanizing metals, to refine and manufacture a wide variety of products, and (as it pertains to this article), pool maintenance.
Muriatic Acid can be used for several pool repairs and maintenance procedures including acid washing, paint and plaster prepping, brick and tile cleaning, filter and cartridge cleaning, chemistry adjustments and more.
It is important when working with hazardous material to take the proper precautions. Follow all safety procedures, wear proper protective gear and know your emergency contacts. Muriatic acid is most definitely a hazardous material and has the potential to be lethal. Sufficient breathing apparatuses, protective eyewear, and rubber gloves are a must when working with acid.
Gunite pools are are often finished with a plaster coating known as a "white coat" or "marcite", or simply "plaster". Plaster finishes are at risk of organic and mineral staining. These stains can be combated using several methods. Stain removing products, concentrated chlorine, non draining acid wash products, and ascorbic acid based products can help with treating these eyesores.
Over time staining can become so severe an acid wash is performed. The pool is drained and acid is poured down the wall of the pool in this procedure. Diluted acid etches away a thin layer of the plaster removing stains, cleaning grout joints, and killing any algae spores that may be embedded into the porous plaster finish. Acid washing can eliminate stains but cannot be performed to often. As the plaster is removed the texture of the pool finish becomes rougher as more sand in the plaster mix becomes exposed. Most plaster coats can withstand 3 or 4 carefully done acid washes over their lifetime.
Acid washing a pool should be performed by a licensed professional, as there are many devils in the details. For a deeper look into
swimming pool acid washing
, see our pool info section.
Etching away the existing plaster is actually the goal when prepping to have a pool re-plastered. Known in the pool industry as an "acid burn" undiluted acid is applied to the pool to help create the rough texture needed for the proper bonding of the new plaster coat.
Washing masonry or brickwork with acid neutralizes the alkalinity leaving it optimal to accept paint. For this reason acid rinsing is also part of prepping for painting a pool.
For this same reason acid plays a major role in balancing your water chemistry. Muriatic acid will lower the Ph and the total alkalinity of water. Acid will lower pH more than it will lower the total alkalinity. This can be a frustrating exercise, if you are trying to lower alkalinity, but keep having to raise the pH again after each treatment (which also raises the alkalinity a bit).
There is a trick to adding acid that will result in gaining a slightly greater alkalinity adjustment. The rule is - "To lower pH more than Alkalinity, Walk the Acid. To lower Alkalinity more than pH, Pool the Acid". Meaning, walk the acid around the pool as you pour it in, to lower pH more....or to lower alkalinity more, pool the acid. To properly pool your acid, shut off the pool pumps for 10 minutes to allow water movement to cease. Then, in one area, usually a quiet, deep corner of the pool, put the acid jug under water, and pour it out underwater. This "pooling" of the acid in one area, keeps a greater concentration in one area, resulting in a greater exchange of hydrocarbons and a resultant increase in bicarbonates, which make up your total alkalinity.
When we speak of pH in pools, what do we really mean? Well, some say pH stands for 'power of hydrogen'. It is really a scale of relative acidity or basicity of the water. The scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral, or neither acidic or basic. Below 7.0 is acidic, and above 7.0 is basic. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale, which means that each point of movement along the scale is a ten-fold change. For example, a pH of 7.2 is 10 times as acidic as 7.3 - and 10 times more basic than 7.1.
Everything around us has a pH level. Fruits such as citrus typically have a low pH, being rather acidic. Milk on the other hand is quite basic in it's pH level. The human eye has a pH level of around 7.3, which coincidentally, is the range we aim for in swimming pools.
Adjusting the pH level in your swimming pool to the range of 7.2-7.6 is easily accomplished by adding an acid if your pH is high, or adding a base if the pH is too low. (follow all package instructions).
Most pool owners find it safer to use a granular acid, in the form of sodium bisulfate, rather than the very caustic muriatic acid. For the base, soda ash is a common chemical used to raise your pH level - by adding this basic powder to the water.
Keep acid away from other chemicals, and never mix acid with any other chemicals. Mixed with Chlorine, and you can create a very dangerous mustard gas. A few years ago, a lifeguard poured acid into a vat of chlorine at the Ramada Inn in Tyson's Corner. Evacuation ~ what a mess. Fortunately, there were no fatalities. Muriatic acid is the most dangerous chemical in a pool service truck, especially if mixed with chlorine.
Keeping pH in range will give the pool owner several benefits, including swimmer comfort and greater chlorine efficacy. A pH level that is too low, is a "corrosive" water condition, which can etch plaster and steel pool components. A pH level that is too high creates a "scaling" water condition, which can cause scale or mineral deposits to form on pool surfaces. High pH levels also makes your chlorine very sluggish, and provides a more suitable environment for algae to flourish.

There are lessons to be learned from this revival of "Driving Miss Daisy," the 1987 play about the unorthodox friendship between a white Southern lady and her black chauffeur that won a Pulitzer Prize for Alfred Uhry (and an Oscar for Jessica Tandy when she and Morgan Freeman starred in the movie). Lesson No. 1 (duh) is that Vanessa Redgrave and James Earl Jones could do this show buried up to their necks in a pit and still break your heart. Lesson No. 2 has to do with how radically the dynamics change when age-appropriate performers are cast in the roles. Still astonishing at 73, Redgrave has the age as well as the regal stature to play Daisy Werthan, the imperious and extremely vital Jewish matron who is 72 when the play opens in 1948 Atlanta. Holding herself tall and taking long, athletic strides, the statuesque thesp lets us know that this old lady has the physical stamina to support her sharp mind and independent spirit.
As Redgrave works her mastery over Daisy's body language, that straight spine gradually softens and bends. Over the play's course of 25 years, the stride shortens, the knees stiffen and the eyes lose their penetrating focus. But as Daisy's supple mind accepts new ways of thinking about age-old Southern traditions based on class and race, Redgrave finds ways to physicalize the inner strength of her indomitable personality.
When the play opens in 1948, Daisy is still in fighting shape to take on her son, Boolie (played to perfection by Boyd Gaines), who is in a state because his mother has just demolished the brand new Packard he bought her. "It was the car's fault," she insists, with a defiant thrust of her chin.
But if Boolie is malleable, the insurance company is not, and Daisy is forced to accept the services of Hoke Coleburn (Jones) as her chauffeur. The veteran thesps immediately find their character chemistry — a combination of curiosity, wariness and stubborn pride — in these early, charming scenes. And by the time their polite hostility gives way to grudging respect and eventual affection, both the public world they live in and the private world they create inside the succession of automobiles Hoke drives for Daisy have spun wildly on their axes.
Jones builds Hoke's physical character differently from the way Redgrave plays Daisy. Being close to 80, he doesn't ask his body to hop around and play the spring chicken (relatively speaking) Hoke is supposed to be. Instead, he cannily works off that magnificent voice of his, which is still in remarkably good shape.
Big and booming and mellow as a cello, the resonant voice that bounces off the walls in the early scenes has enough youthful vigor to make Daisy clutch the furniture to keep from being blown away. As Hoke ages, Jones modulates his musical instrument in subtle ways, lowering the pitch, softening the tone, harnessing the sheer force of it, the way Hoke eases up on the gas of those big cars he drives. By the time he's paying visits to Daisy in a nursing home, he's speaking in a soft whisper.
Not that there's any crockery, or even much furniture for Jones' voice to demolish on John Lee Beatty's impressionistically spare set of Daisy's home — the fewer physical impediments to creaky old bones, the better. Still, there's a pervasively dark and gloomy air to the utilitarian set that doesn't reflect the seismic changes going on in the life of the play.
In the absence of windows and doors, or more expansive and colorful outdoor scene projections, little light shines on Daisy's garden. Or, more to the point, on the tumultuous and often violent political events — the angry KKK rallies, the synagogue burnings, the civil rights protests — that are so scrupulously, if delicately, alluded to in the play.
Redgrave and Jones are masters of their craft, and they have the whole house sobbing long before Daisy reaches for Hoke's hand and calls him her "best friend." But without a stronger sense of the treacherous social currents that these two proudly independent souls must struggle to navigate whenever they go out together for a spin in Daisy's latest car, we can't fully appreciate the depth or profundity of their beautiful friendship.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — When Mimi Ash arrived at her mountain chalet here for a weekend ski trip, she discovered that someone had broken into the home and changed the locks.
When she finally got into the house, it was empty. All of her possessions were gone: furniture, her son's ski medals, winter clothes and family photos. Also missing was a wooden box, its top inscribed with the words "Together Forever," that contained the ashes of her late husband, Robert.
The culprit, Ms. Ash soon learned, was not a burglar but her bank. According to a federal lawsuit filed in October by Ms. Ash, Bank of America had wrongfully foreclosed on her house and thrown out her belongings, without alerting Ms. Ash beforehand.

Aside from a few small flare-ups, the fire was all but over inside the Luongo Restaurant in East Boston on Nov. 15, 1942. And then, at 4:15 a.m., a massive wall tumbled down, causing the building to collapse and trapping dozens of firefighters under heavy debris.
Six firefighters lost their lives 70 years ago Thursday. The incident gripped the city until it was overshadowed by a far-deadlier tragedy 13 days later, the Cocoanut Grove Nightclub fire that killed 492 people.
The nightclub fire, with its massive loss of life, instantly became national news and eventually led to sweeping changes in the fire code and many medical advances. But in the tide of attention, the Luongo tragedy, which ranks as one of the department's deadliest, drifted into near obscurity.
That is about to change. A 4-foot granite monument to honor those firefighters will be unveiled Thursday at Maverick Square, and city officials and the relatives of the victims hope it will bring awareness to the sacrifices of those and other firefighters.
The monument, on the sidewalk in front of the newly built East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, is across the street from where the six died and 45 others — mostly firefighters — were injured. A convenience store now occupies the spot where the building once stood.
City Councilor Salvatore LaMattina, a lifelong resident of East Boston, and officials at the health center worked for several years on the project. The structure bears photographs of the six firefighters and is topped with a bronze firefighter's helmet.
The firefighters who died were John F. Foley, Edward F. Macomber, Peter F. McMorrow, Francis J. Degan, Daniel E. McGuire, and Malachi F. Reddington.
"It's very gratifying that they've decide to honor them. To finally give them recognition like this really means a lot to their families," said David Harney, 71, who is McGuire's nephew.
Harney was just a year old when his uncle died.
Sally Glora, the city auditor, is Degan's niece. She said she will likely say a few words during the ceremony on behalf of the family.
"It's great that they are acknowledging the sacrifices of these men, after it has been overshadowed by other events,'' said Glora, 60."I just think that the decision to follow a career of public service is great. Francis was following in the footsteps of his father, who was a fireman for 33 years."
A Globe article published the following day detailed what occurred and contained brief biographical information on the firefighters, who were on the second floor at the time of the collapse.
"Hours later, when the bodies were finally recovered, the firemen with bared heads stood at attention, unashamed at giving way to their emotions,'' the article said.
McGuire, 44, left a 12-year-old daughter. Reddington, 48, was born in Ireland. Macomber, 47, had a son serving in the Army in Panama at the time of the fire.
Foley, 57, had swapped days off with a fellow firefighter. Degan, 24, joined the department only 18 months earlier. McMorrow was single and lived with his father and sister.
Three other fires in Boston's history have claimed the lives of multiple firefighters.
The Merrimac Street Fire on Feb. 5, 1898 killed six firefighters, including a captain, a district chief, a lieutenant, and three hosemen. The Trumbull Street Fire in the South End on Oct. 1, 1964, killed five firefighters. The Hotel Vendome Fire on Father's Day 1972 claimed the lives of nine — still the largest loss of life in the department's history, dating back to 1678.
Father Daniel J. Mahoney, the chief of chaplains for the fire department, said the East Boston memorial will be a fitting remembrance on several fronts.
"For the families, I know this memorial will be important for them, and for the public, it will make them stop and think of the heroics of not only these six firefighters, but of firefighters everywhere. Whether it was 1942 or before that, firefighters never forget their own, and this monument reflects that."
The ceremony is scheduled to begin at noon at 20 Maverick Square.

You are, here, basically, making a psychic claim. "I have had certain experiences that I have concluded are the same as the experiences of all others who think they have psychic experiences." Further you assume that you know what the whole set of their cognitive processes are when they evaluate their experiences. You know you can rule out any exception to your experience, since, presumably, people cannot have different skill sets, have learned different things, must be exactly like UP TO THAT POINT where you rationally dismiss and they naively believe. Since you argue that it is ridiculous he presents his ideas in a philosophy forum you might want explain how you have overcome the problem of other minds, which you seem to be implicitly claiming to have done, since you know with such certainty what is going on in his mind.Silhouette wrote:unknowing wrote:I never realized how much this sort of thing threatens other people's belief systems.
It only threatens anyone's belief systems in the same way and to the same degree as you saying "I am a cow from outer space", or "I have seen a square circle, u have no way of knowing what I've come across in my life so you can't tell me I haven't".
Well, yes, there are certain things that we can tell you that you haven't come across, and things we can tell you are not the case. Some things cannot physically exist by definition and some things are misinterpretations of what does exist. Whilst I have no doubt whatsoever that your experiences happened, an interpretation of them as psychic is as challenging to philosophy and the beliefs of others as experiencing your existence but then concluding that your existence is that of a cow from outer space. I've had plenty of experiences that I entertain with comments to myself or others such as "wow I must be psychic", so it's not like I don't know what you're basing your belief on. I just know what to do with such thoughts and why.

Raleigh Neighborhood Registry
Registered Neighborhood Groups Enjoy Benefits
The Raleigh Neighborhood Registry is the official list of neighborhood-based organizations throughout the city and its extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The Community Engagement Division established the Neighborhood Registry in 2002 to get residents more involved in decisions affecting their neighborhoods and to improve participation in Citizens Advisory Councils (CACs). Neighborhood-based organizations are encouraged to send representatives to CAC meetings so they can share information and have a voice in what is happening in the community.
The Neighborhood Registry includes more than 260 neighborhood-based organizations. Neighborhood organizations that are not already on the Neighborhood Registry are invited to join. There is no charge to be listed on the Neighborhood Registry.
Who Should Register
Eligible organizations include groups such as:
- Homeowners associations
- Neighborhood associations
- Block clubs
- Community Watch groups
- Neighborhood business associations
- Garden clubs
Forming a Neighborhood Organization
The Community Engagement Division will help you organize your neighborhood for free. Forming a neighborhood-based organization is all about bringing people together to work for the betterment of everyone. Neighborhood-based organizations succeed when residents are eager and willing to make their own decisions about programs and projects. That is why residents are the ones who should take the lead in organizing themselves. However, the Community Engagement Division can offer advice and support. If you would like more information, call the Community Engagement Division at 919-996-4330.

So much for the theory that the Britannia Stadium is a difficult place to come. On a cold and wet afternoon in the Potteries, and at the end of a helter-skelter game, Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool celebrated their first Premier League victory here and a hugely significant three points that lifts them back into the top four. Stoke City, however, could not have been more obliging opponents.
As ruthless as Liverpool were with their finishing, in particular the irrepressible Luis Suárez, who scored twice to take his tally for the season to 22, Stoke were guilty of some calamitous defending and contributed largely to their own downfall. Marc Wilson and Ryan Shawcross, Stoke's central defenders, will have nightmares about this game.
Shawcross may have been unfortunate with the own goal that gave Liverpool an early lead but it was impossible to have any sympathy with the manner in which the home team conceded a second, when the Stoke captain and Wilson got in a terrible mess.
Stoke, to their credit, hauled themselves back into the match with two goals in the space of six minutes at the end of the first half, when Peter Crouch and Charlie Adam each scored against their former club.
At that point the momentum was with Stoke but the complexion of the game changed again when Anthony Taylor, the referee, adjudged that Wilson had brought Raheem Sterling down.
There was definitely contact and arguably no need for Wilson to attempt to make the challenge but, at the same time, Sterling seemed to go to ground fairly easily. Rodgers described it as a "Spanish penalty" and admitted that Mark Hughes, the Stoke manager, was entitled to be aggrieved. When the dust settled, Steven Gerrard converted from the spot and Stoke were once again chasing the game – an unenviable position to be in against a team that counterattack as well as Liverpool.
The visitors' threat was augmented by the addition of Daniel Sturridge and the England international, who was making his first appearance in seven weeks after being sidelined with an ankle problem, had an instant impact when he set up Suárez's second. Although Stoke pulled one back through Jonathan Walters, whose weak shot should never have beaten Simon Mignolet, Sturridge restored Liverpool's two-goal lead two minutes later. Incredibly, there was still time for Crouch to hit the upright and Gerrard to be spared an own goal by a superb Mignolet save.
It was that sort of day. A pulsating game was full of goals and mistakes at both ends of the pitch. Rodgers was full of praise for his players, including Gerrard, who pulled the strings in a deeper role just in front of the back four, but if there is a concern for the Liverpool manager it is that his team looked vulnerable defensively. This was the seventh time in eight away games that they have conceded two goals or more.
Liverpool could hardly have wished for a better start. With only five minutes gone Aly Cissokho hit a left-footed shot from 25 yards that was veering closer to the corner flag than the goal until it took a huge deflection off Shawcross, to leave Jack Butland completely stranded.
Things went from bad to worse for Stoke when Martin Skrtel thumped a long ball from back to front that Wilson tried to head back to Butland. Shawcross, seeking to recover the situation, succeeded only in toe-poking the ball into the path of Suárez, who had the simple task of sliding it home.
Stoke had forced plenty of corners – six inside the opening 26 minutes – without ever really looking too threatening but they pulled a goal back when Peter Crouch got away from Kolo Touré and confidently headed home Marko Arnautovic's centre. Seemingly coasting, Liverpool began to look anxious and Stoke capitalised when Gerrard lost his footing deep inside his own half. Adam seized possession and took a couple of touches before cracking a sublime 25-yard drive that arrowed into Mignolet's right corner.
Then came the key moment in the game when Wilson, having squandered possession to Sterling, tried to atone but succeeded only in tangling with the winger and giving away a penalty. Gerrard sent Butland – who picked a bad day to make his first Premier League start – the wrong way from the spot.
Liverpool's fourth arrived when Sturridge carried the ball from inside his own half before choosing just the right moment to flick a neat pass into the path of Suárez, who curled a right-footed shot into the bottom corner. Walters, set up by Arnautovic, then saw his shot slip through Mignolet's arms. He quickly retrieved the ball but it was Liverpool who struck again. This time Suárez turned creator, his cross picking out Sturridge, who scored at the far post at the second attempt.

Dental Implant Placement
A long-lasting choice, implant-supported dentistry brings you as close to growing new teeth as possible. Expertly placed in the same bone that once supported teeth, you'll often enjoy the strength and function of nature. Modern porcelains produce a life-like result that may leave you completely unaware that they aren't your natural teeth. An excellent choice for one or more missing teeth, dentures can also be attached to implants. The stability and sense of confidence you develop with implants will leave you pleasantly surprised.
A custom road map for your return to full dental function when incorporating implants must guide the way. Dr. Jay and Dr. Chen call upon the best technology available to help them plan your restorative case. Digital x-rays, 3D mapping, models, photographs and case guides prove valuable. Drs. Jay & Chen use highly regarded specialists as needed to bring the components of your case together. But at all times, they serve as the quarterback of the entire plan.
Implant Surgery
Many patients find the procedure of implant placement easier than they anticipated. Various types of sedation may fit your comfort level best, so feel free to discuss them with Dr. Jay and Dr. Chen. Modern dental anesthetic numbs the site, and experienced hands carefully place the implant. A tiny guide hole provides a path for threading a small implant cylinder into place. The sterile piece settles into a precise location, and a smooth cover protects the implant during the healing period.
In some cases, a temporary or permanent crown may be inserted at the time of surgery. Cases involving multiple implants often proceed the same way, with more temporary options available so you can smile confidently immediately.
Implants can't withstand normal bite forces until the bone has attached firmly to the delicate surface. Dr. Jay and Dr. Chen will help you decide what will work best during the initial healing period, and ensure you're still able to function while protecting your implants. This period usually lasts from 3-6 months as implants integrate into your jaw. Most patients experience minimal discomfort after placement, especially compared to tooth removal procedures.

Lead poisoning is usually caused by months or years of exposure to small amounts of lead at home, work, or day care. It can also happen very quickly if you are exposed to high amounts of lead.
Lead exposure can occur during work and hobbies if you breathe fumes and dust that contain lead. It can also happen if you swallow lead because of food, drinks, makeup, tobacco products, clothing, and hands contaminated with lead.
You can expose your family members to lead if you take lead home on your clothes, skin, or hair or if it is on your tools or in your car.
Jobs or hobbies that may involve working with lead or being exposed
to dust or fumes from lead include:

As a director's assistant, Douglas Friedman worked with David Fincher on Fight Club, Se7ven, and The Game, and as a photographer he's shot interiors for the likes of Elle Décor, Wallpaper, and Domino.
But Doug's talent and style far exceed what he captures on camera — unsurprisingly, his fascination with architecture, design, and glamour have penetrated into his own life and home as well. We got a chance to flip the lens and get a look inside his polished bachelor pad. Believe us, a printer as big as a piano, lighting inside a bathtub, dead animal decor, and (of course) amazing (nude) photography are only some of the features we love about Doug's home. And, given that he now splits his time between NYC and L.A., we're just wondering if he needs a house-sitter to watch after all of his cool collectables.
Click through to check out Douglas Friedman's enviable bachelor pad and get the scoop on where he picked up all his swag!

Leave salty favorites, sodas and alcohol off shopping list
When you're hot, stressed and thirsty, certain foods are a bad idea; some speed up dehydration. Here are foods that should be a last resort for storm preparation:
Salty chips, salted nuts and snack foods: These add little nutrition, and your body is going to be stressed. They cause immediate thirst.
Crackers and peanut butter are convenient, but they're salty and can cause extreme thirst. Peanut butter is a good source of protein, but it's generally salty. Use it sparingly.
Candy: Most candy has high sugar levels, which contributes to thirst.
Sodas: Your body needs liquids, more in extreme heat and humidity. Better choices are vegetable and fruit juices that can supply needed vitamins.
One caveat: Fruit juices should be given sparingly to infants — they can cause diarrhea, leading to serious dehydration.
Moderate your intake of sports drinks, which have extra sodium.
Alcohol: Don't run for a cold one. In a situation with downed power lines, broken glass and flooding, wait to celebrate the storm's end when things have settled down.
Essential foods to make meals palatable
Boiling water will be a best method for cooking with many of these items; remember to use clean water.
1. Couscous and five-minute rice. Pour boiling water over these packages, cover, and let stand.
2. Salsa, chunky pasta sauce
3. Ramen noodles. Pour boiling water over them and voilà!
4. Shelf-stable bacon, hard sausages. Make BLT's, add to baked beans, bean salad. Keep in cooler once opened.
5. Single-serve condiments (individual packets of mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup and relish)
6. Pouches of cooked tuna, salmon and chicken. Grill chicken or fish fillets briefly for a "real" meal.
7. Shelf-stable milk. Add to canned soup and heat it up on the grill for substance. Put it in coffee, use it for cereal or make chocolate milk for kids.
8. Shelf-stable cheese. Processed cheese (Velveeta) and sliced cheeses made with oil are shelf-stable.
9. Canned potatoes, canned beans and veggies.
10. Individual puddings, fruit cups
How to pack up your kitchen
Must-haves for before a storm and for keeping foods safe afterward.
Heavy-duty plastic bags: "Contractor bags" are the strongest ones out there, and are available at home warehouse stores and Publix. These hold sticks and bricks without tearing; good for packing boxes of food, countertop appliances, and things with sharp corners. They come in 30- and 50-gallon sizes. (They can be slit apart and used as thick plastic tarps for countertops or protecting big items.)
Permanent markers: Use them to label jars and cans that might lose their labels in high humidity or floods. Write contents of cans on their bottoms or tops and date them; label plastic bags or bins to identify items packed within.
Food-sized storage bags or containers: Empty all open packages of foods into these airtight bags or bins to keep them fresh.
Extra water jugs: Preferably 2.5 gallons or larger. Buy the biggest size your freezer will hold.
Heavy-duty plastic garbage cans with lids: Can be used for water storage, packing foods, packing valuables — or storing trash.
Extra coolers: Buy metal ones with foam/plastic inserts for maximum cooling (see ship's stores or online sources). Buy large Igloo-type coolers that can stack and are on wheels. Buy foam ones to have on hand, but note these are not meant for long-term ice storage. Consider investing in a small cooler that plugs into the cigarette lighter of the car, or a mini-fridge to plug into a generator.
Waterproof storage bins: Flooding during a storm can be more of a problem than winds. Packing everything in plastic, waterproof bins can save the items. For already opened foods, use bins with airtight seals. Use large, clean garbage cans for additional storage.
Preparing for flood conditions
When the kitchen floods, even canned foods can be compromised; those in boxes or cellophane surely are. To prepare your kitchen for flooding:
Emergency travel bin
