Q: I can buy the same quantity of coca cola here on amazon for $8.56 plus $5.99 prime pantry shipping. why is canned water so much more expensive?

Vinny, as a retired surgeon, you should know that one cannot live solely on soda as a water substitute. I am aware of a soldier in AFG who drank Gatorade almost exclusive (it's free in the dining halls) and ended up in the hospital due to not enough water, and too many minerals he could not process. That's very dangerous, and for older people, it could be fatal.The best bet is to store a majority of your water in barrels or similar containers, and use a good quality hand pumped filter such as the Katadyn Combi Filter. There are several of this style, but the bottom line is that you can filter 1 to 2 liters a minute. Five minutes and you've got you daily intake ready.Blue Can is ideal for medium level threats, and the ultimate for having a supply in each vehicle, as well. The cost seems daunting, however it is far cheaper if you can locate a supplier near you to avoid shipping. And really, at a buck a can in quantity, your premium sodas can cost 50 to 75 cents.I am a customer, and not affiliated with Blue Can. Do I wish it was as cheap as soda? Sure, but I still buy it for its feature.BTW - Try one. The taste is absolutely amazing. There IS no taste! I have never had water so pure. It's like getting an IV!

Q: Can this be used for everyday drinking water or is it only for emergencies?

As ColoradoKathleen stated; this is for LONG STORAGE and will NOT "go bad' smelly or stench whatever you want to call it, for 50 years. you can drink it anytime but if buying for emergency, why not save it just for that? Wouldn't those in Texas appreciate this about now? Regular city water well water will NOT last anywhere near 1 year shelf life plus with the fluoride and other contaminants, I wouldn't even consider saving it for emergencies.

Q: What are the tested temperature ranges without product failure with minimal lengths of time of each extreme?

People freeze the can's and are surprised that it busts open. Its water, yes it does freeze at 32 degrees and yes, it does expand. Their website clearly says its good down to 33 degrees. People who are testing beyond that, then complaining it failed, need to go find another hobby because obviously, prepping is not for them.

Q: Are these cans lined with a BPA containing liner?

Another way to ask this question is: Does the ban contain any bisphenols? A can can be "BPA-Free (bisphenol 'A') free" while possessing BPA-B, BPA-C, etc., which may have identical health concerns. So, what is the lining made out of?
