33 gallon rubermade trash cans used to work well. I've
been storing water in them for years, but they don't make them the quality like they used to, the currently made ones will split. But the rubbermade Brute trash cans will work well. If you can get your hands on a used plastic 55 gallon drum they work real good. Harry Ohanian wrote: I was wondering what people are useing to store thier RO water in? |

My only addition to that suggestion is to be careful what the drum was previously used for. |

I was wondering what people are useing to store thier RO water in? I use a bunch of 6.5 gallons buckets were IO salt was purchased in. But I have a small reef tank, so I do not need large amount of water. How much water do you need to store? |

Ok, but it's cheaper to get 5 gallon buckets at the local
hardware store. And also cheaper to get the Rubbermade Brute trash cans, 33gal,or 50 gal, at the hardware store. But the sad thing is that, one used to be able to get rubermade trash cans for $10.00 that work well, but those cheaper ones are not made as strong anymore.

I use three five gallon gasoline storage cans (bought new for this specific purpose, of course). They cost a little more than five gallon buckets, but are strong, sealable, have built-in spouts, and have sturdy, balanced handles. |

I use three 5g Sparklets water cooler jugs. For making sal****er, I use
55g barrels that used to hold Dr Pepper syrup. Matter of fact, I'm mixing one up right now.

wallyworld has square 7 gallon camping water haulers. comes with a spigot. i
like these because being square they don't fall over and roll around in the back of the car, and also there's no wasted space packing them into an area. regards, charlie http://glassartists.org/chaniarts "George" wrote in message news:3Nh1f.405843$_o.58519@attbi_s71...
