RODI Storage Container

[Mark Gray]

Hi everyone
I was looking at a 96 gallon trash can at Home Depot. It does not say what it's mad of, it is some clkind of fiber plastic. I was wondering if this would be ok to hold my ATO water, was wondering if it might leach something into my water

I was about to ask the same thing...

Both the gray and white rubbermaid brutes work fine.

I use the brute trash cans from Lowes. I think they are 45 gallon. If you go that route, be sure to get the tops.

The only trash can I'm comfortable using is the rubbermaid brute trash can. It's NSF certified for food storage. It's what everyone recommends if you go that route.

You want something with the recycling code HDPE 2 or 5 these are food grade containers and do not leach chemicals back into food or water Home Depot carries brutes in the 55g size about $70 I know room can be an issue but 2× might be the answer here os a link on how to identify the HDPE

Do yoy have a tractor supply feed store or agricultural supply around? A clean water/sprayer tank would work too...

That looks like a standard roll away trash can give me about a half hour an I'll look atvours at work and see if I cab find the HDPE code cans come up from the curb today anyway. Also on HD's website it shows the person storing cat food in it....

Space is sort of a problem like I said I need at least 100 gallons yeah I have tractor supply close but they don't seem to carry a vertical tank and I sort of need it in my garage cause i am going to hook it up with a low sensor a high sensor and a solenoid to my Apex. if it overflowed ever it would not hurt anything and it's going to run 2 tanks for ATO

That’s a great decision and a 100 mile drive really isn’t bad at all.

Right on we use a big rubbermade water trough for doing remote watering of trees at the farm I think it holds 100g even has a lower bulkhead already threaded. I'll check the roll aways here in a few layering up now.

I looked on our toter roll aways no code but i did checknout the site an I sent them an email asking what HDPE they were.

I plumbed three 44-gallon Brutes together for my limewater to get one 132 gallon reservoir.

You may want to take a look on CL for something like these if your on a budget as myself. Made from HDPE food grade, food safe used for Pickle, Pepper, Olive storage etc..... I found some locally for $18 bucks a piece and are 47 gallon each. You may want to search for storage barrel, pickle barrel, I have even seen them listed as a "prepper's barrel"
Below is an example pic from a Florida add showing some different sizes and prices.... Just food for thought for us economically challenged good ole boys !!
Yep I'm from KY LOL
