Looking for one of those big water containers

We go thru a LOT of drinking water in my house, and I've thought about putting a RO line on a dispenser with a solenoid - but instead I'd like to find one of those big water containers that I see in large fish rooms. Preferably one with a spout. I'd like to be able to make 50+ gallons at a time, and filling jugs as needed with a quick pouring spout.

Anyone know where I can get one? Between tanks, formula, drinking water and cooking - I'm so tired of filling 5G jugs and moving the hose from jug to jug every hour. And of course there is the weekly overflow. I'm sure the NE corner of my house is sinking.

Thanks!

I just found Arizona Barrels today. Haven't dealt with them yet but the prices are pretty good and they are fairly close to me.

... and yes, they are used.

I was surprised no one had ever mentioned them before.

I'm calling them in the am again and will let everyone know how it goes.

could you do me a favor? Could you ask them if they take paypal? The 18gal closed top w/ handle is just what I am looking for!!! Much better than 1 or 5gal h2o bottles.
