RO Water Tub / Barrel

[bucket brigade]

Where do you find such a thing locally? What kind of retail store would sell these???

p.s. and no i'm not thinking aout going over Niagara Falls in it

what about a rubber maid container. It would have a lid on it , a good size is around 25 /30 gallon and you could plum it with a ball valve a few inches up from the bottom to get the water out easy.


HMMmmmm , i think this might be my setup. I just got a RO/DI and thinking this would work pretty good. You could even put a powerheadlike a 302 AC in there and mix your salt mix right there. With the lid and in the garage it would be a dark cool place for it to mix.

Brute gabage can with wheels is a good way to go , you can get 44 or 55 gallon size.

Army surpluss stores sometimes has them, also chinese food resturaunts sometimes get their soy sauce in them clean them out really well though also there is a guy on e-bay is called barrel man pretty cheap out of las vegas.

I would try tractor supply or any farm supply in your area. They keep stuff like that with feeding and water bins.

I have that container(got it from a freind thats a chemist)but I'd go with the rubbermaid with wheels.

I have 2 30-gallon Rubbermaid garbage cans with lids, available at any Home Depot or similar store. You can get them with wheels too (garbage cans).

How long are you able to keep RO water in a garbage can without risking any deteorating issues??

[Hardhead Cat]

I don't keep it in there long - 24 hours to circulate (with a power head) after I put the salt in - - certainly not longer than a couple of days. I store the excess SW in covered 5-gallon jugs (white plastic) that I got from the LFS. They said they are good for 2 weeks in those jugs, covered.

all i use is a 55 gallon garbage can with wheels and a lid on it. and it has worked great. I dont store in there very long i end up putting it in 5g jugs with a top on them.
