Where do I find water storage tanks?
 
I am attempting to automate my system a bit more and need to find some nice large size water storage containers.

Do they have to be food grade?

Where can I get them?


Thanks
Chris

You can check out Aquatic Eco Systems. Their shipping might be a little high, but they have a huge selection.

What size/shape are you looking for? I ask because Rubbermaid Brute trash cans are GREAT for water storage and fairly cheap. They may not work for every person though, depending on your needs and storage location.

I found a great plase at [url]www.usplastics.com[/url] , everything you need is here, and descent shipping.

Rural King is a nice place to look or Tractor supply. They usually have the plastic 55 gallon barrels.

found my 55 gallon food grade plastic containers at a local bottler of sauces. 6 dollars each and just had to wash them out as they were used for vinegar. any local bottlers that might use those?

I forgot that you can also go to ebay, and type in "fresh water tanks" It will bring up RV water storage tanks (polyetheleen). I have a 30 gallon that I use to transport sea water home from LFS store. Works great and Cheap!

Thanks!

I've been looking for a good tank for my Auto-topoff system. Finally found the size I was looking for there!

Look at the used equipment forum and search for 55 gallon containers. The guy is selling them for $25 a piece. They are great, I bought one. Ask him if he will ship.

Or you cold try a farm supply or tractor supply and get them for about 8 bucks a piece.
