RO water storage

I was looking to buy a 30 gallon bucket to store my RO/DI water in. I think it needs to be food safe grade plastic and I was wondering what type others use or if anyone knew where I could find one.

They also sell a 20 gallon, but that may be too small if you want a 30. Just make sure it says BRUTE on the outside.
