Default 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.

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.
