Does anyone know of a place to find 55gal food grade drums in the akron area?(for RODI storage) Country Pure Foods on W waterloo no longer makes them available.
Did I mention drums for cheap?

Not a problem fairweather. Let me know if you learn of anything else and I will do the same. I have a 2x35gal ro/saltmixing set up. Plumbed for mixing salt, water change return, and refilling of ro to salt mixing container. Complete with 2 unions and three valves if you have an interest. I place 1 powerhead in each and flip switches to move water around. It's pretty cool if you have never seen one. Willing to sell for what I have in it.

I have one plastic 55 drum that I bought from a guy who then worked for Stauffer's. The drum had been filled with cherry concentrate, and for the first couple years I had it you could smell cherries if you kept it closed up for a while. I'm not using it now so any reasonable offer considered.

There used to be a place out on route 82 past North Eaton that sold the blue plastic drums that I "believe" were advertised as food safe. I do not know if they are still out thee or not. Anyone?

Thanks for replies. I received reply on yahoo marine groups that Sams club may also have them cheap.

Fairweather, as soon as I get a chance I will try and put a photo up for you. The height is less than that of a 55gal drum.

I have picked up one since post. It had a water based water repellent in it. I have it soaking outside. I have yet to see as to whether or not it will be suitable.
