I would not use soap and water. I would rinse several time with tap water. then wash wil vinegar. then tap water again. then rinse with RO water before use. Soap tend to hold on to stuff especially since you cannot get to the inside very well for rinsing.

If it was something other than bleach, I might say soap and water too. Although, I still do not like the idea much. The vinegar was to neutralize the bleach. If all that has been in the barrel is bleach, rinsing with water is probaby good enough, but maybe scary. :nerd:

Go to one of the box stores and get the "tray" for hot water heaters. They work well to cover 55gallon drums. They should work for this too. It might be less expensive unless you already have the trash can lid. :bigsmile:
Can you save two of the barrels for the club? I think we will be supplying saltwater for the Swap next year. The barrels will work great for that.
I can store them in my garage unless someone esle would want to.

You can also look onto a bung faucet. They sell online cheap, and ag supply stores keep them around. Plastic 3/4 models are around $5 and 2 inchers are around $25. Keeps everything enclosed, and works real well.
