Is there a container for drinking water that can be stored in freezing conditions that won't freeze? Without electricity of course

MNSIGI think it's a matter of time. Enough insulation will keep it from freezing for a while, but the contents will eventually get to the ambient air temperature. How long do you need it to stay liquid?

soncornNalgene bottles won’t be damaged by frozen water. But it is just a matter of time with any container in freezing conditions before the water freezes.

old rugged crossThanks guys, For a while. Have to haul water at times and leave it. Was hoping there was some kind on new technology type container that would somehow keep it from freezing. Guess not.

radiomanIsn't there something from high school chemistry that says if you put the water under pressure it won't freeze at 32 F , but a lower temp depending on how much pressure?
Or, maybe add a hint of salt or something else to the water?

bushpilotHello ORC, cheap solar panel (HF) wired to a used battery eating pad placed under the container may work.

FenrisContainers made from certain radioactive materials would be able to stay warm for thousands of years. However, there would be other side effects shall we say. Was personal longevity an important consideration for you?

There might be some good theory there, but I don't know if it would be practical. First of all, it would be a vacuum, not pressure, to lower the freezing point of water. You'd need a setup capable of pulling, say, 1/1000 atm, that would protect from freezing down to about -25C.
1 mbar is basically outer space already, at least for our purposes. Might as well go for a perfect vacuum. That would be some pretty serious lab equipment.
