looking for water storage tank
 

Hello
Im looking for somewhere in Edmonton that has 200 liter containers (or something similar, can be smaller) for storing RO/DI water and mixed salt water. Im worried about impurities leaching out of some of the plastic containers. Im heading into edmonton/spruce grove on the 20th. If anyone has any ideas on where to obtain something like this?. Thanks

I have always used rubbermaid gargage cans and storage containers with no problem.
Used them for years. I know people use food grade buckets not sure if they would be
large enough.

I'm trying to find some in the same size. I'm looking for the heavy duty white food grade ones that you see at vineyards and such in a rectangular "space saving" shape. I would like to be able to make a little wood holder for it with wheels. :) I have been asking around fro a couple months now, but have not been able to find a source. I'm wondering if these bins are something that vineyards are able to obtain by wholesale only and they are not offered for retail since they have such a specific purpose. Currently I am using Rubbermaids, but I find them flimsy and too small.

I'm using 2 Brute garbage cans. They work awesome. One for RO, one for SW.

I think im going to try some of the garbage cans. I would be nice to find something that is square to save space but it seems like that garbage cans are safe so that will do.
thanks

45 gallon drums
 

If you are in Edmonton, try wing's food products, i used to buy 45 gal. drums that were food grade plastic. The are used to ship pickles, ketchup, etc, i bought them for 10$ a barrel. Here is a pic. of one i still use for my water changes. HTH,

Oh I love the red 'mounting bracket'!

Yeah that would be perfect.

Only because i had no duct tape

It's Royal Exclusiv style tape.

Great, the price of red electrical tape just went up 25%.

Klaus would never use tape. He'd CNC micro-thin strips out of 12" thick red pvc and apply an adhesive. The tape market should remain stable!

I can almost believe that.

There is this place in Calgary.

Those barrels would be nearly perfect! For $10 too?? That makes them 99% perfect! :)

Was looking for a container and went here; http://www.innovativeplastics.net/ . Lot's of sizes and shapes.

If you have any of the 'brew on premises' beer making businesses in Sask or Alta, they will also be a good source for large plastic, food grade barrels. They have malt & adjunct in the barrels and once they're empty, they don't reuse them. Can usually pick one up for about $40 here in Vernon, but could differ depending on where you go. I also picked up a plastic drum sold as a rain barrel from a local garden center, it contained glycerine, a byproduct of bio fuel, so vegetable based. That one only cost me around $20. The container is also food safe I think, just needs to be rinsed out real well.
