Source for polypropylene or polyethylene 1 gallon wide mouth containers

Goof morning R2R

I'm looking for a source for Source for polypropylene or polyethylene 1 gallon wide mouth containers. Uline has lots of options but you need to buy them by the dozen.

Thanks

Amazon has Rectangular Food Storage Containers, with Snap on Lids, with Volume Marks on the Side. I bought 2-1/2 Gallon Containers from Amazon, the Screw Cap Lid opening was big enough, to put a 12Vdc ATO Pump in the Container. Drilled the Cap for the hose and Cable, used a Rubber Grommet n the Hole for the Cable. Has a nice built in Handle for carrying.

I looked at amazon but they didn't specify the type of plastic. Found these but rather pricy

What are you using the Container for? As long as it is Food Grade, BPA Free, I think it will be okay for your Aquarium. I’m even using a Rectangular Pretzel Jar, for my ATO, Rotate them out when another one comes up empty , old one goes in the recycling.

They are for dosing and Randy recommended polypropylene or polyethylene due to very high PH

These are PVC. Should work just as well as the plumbing we use on our tanks.

You should ask Randy if the Dosing Chemicals are shipped in Polypropylene or Polyethylene Containers!

I use the 1 gallon version of these, and a funnel.

Good point. Even if you don't want the vinegar it may be cheaper than most options.

You can always run the Vinegar through your Clothes Washer, on the cleaning cycle. Just follow the machines instructions.
