Nalgene Container for Kalk Reactor
 
OK, I'm looking for a housing to make a kalk reactor. The 4L Nalgene Wide mouth square bottle for liquids looks pretty good as it is air and liquid tight. I've found a mail order place to get it, Labsafety. Is there a local place I can get it?

Hi. Mountain Equipment Coop does sell some Nalgene products but I think they are the smaller bottles 1 litre or less. I'd like my kalk reactor to hold about 4 litres of liquid.

I know it wouldn't be clear, but couldn't you use one of those camping water containers? ya know, those blue ones. they're the same shape as the one you've posted.

The Nalgene containers have a good reputation for being air and liquid leak proof. Also, the container that I want must fit in a 10G water reservoir. The one in your picture looks like it might be too big and I don't know if it is leak proof. In my link, its shows 2 containers, a 1 gallon (4 Litre) bottle and a 6 gallon (25 litre) jug. I'm referring to the smaller bottle in the pic (the one being held with the hand). It is leakproof and will fit in a 10G water reservoir.
