I live near a huge highway construction project, and about once a month they break the water main, meaning we get a boil water notice for ~48h.
I have a Culligan water filter that runs to a spout on my sink, and one that’s on our ice maker, but we use the level 1 canisters to remove the taste from the water. These canisters are good for about 6 months of regular use (ice maker is about a year).
During the boil water notice, the level 1 filters aren’t sufficient to filter out bacteria and such, so I’d need a level 3 filter for that. But, those are only good for about 2 months, so I don’t want to exclusively use them.
I’d like to have one in storage that I can throw on when we have a main break, but I’m not sure the best way to store it. It’s not super easy to drain the water out of the canisters.

When I was in this kind of situation I just got a water cooler and had my water delivered
