Can you drink water that had stood around for a long time? If it’s capped and sealed tightly so nothing could possibly get inside, you wouldn’t hesitate to take a swig from your vintage water, or would you?
A few pathogenic bacteria can survive in clean water and the taste of water can become flat or taste strange after a long storage. Lack of oxygen may make it smell or taste stale. Moreover, toxic plastic chemicals could leach into your water.
Ozone gas is a good way to prepare your 5-gallon water bottles for the long term. Ozone can be used to clean fruit, vegetables, and meats before use, and is a powerful disinfectant. You can be sure the water is safe for use during a future emergency storage if you properly ozonate it before storage.

According to Canadian government site Health Canada, ozone is frequently added to water during the water bottling process:
“Ozone may be added to spring or mineral water during the bottling process as a disinfectant to inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms. Ozone is also effective in removing objectionable odors and flavors because it breaks down into oxygen which improves taste and other qualities.”
