LF: Water Storage Containers

Locals, does anyone know of any places that carry food grade water storage containers so I can store my RODI and saltwater?

I know lots of online sites, but the shipping is as much as the container.

I'm in Roseville, but willing to drive.

Any stores local carry something like this...

Thank you!

I’ve heard from other members. Check out feed stores and tractor supply locations. They have some on hand. I’m in the same boat. I’m looking for water storage also.

Tractor supply has similar and other containers like 30gal feed drums. You can try most hardware/home improvment stores, just call and ask if they have non-pressurized potable water storage. Our business deals with Fry's Plastic for daylight tanks/ chemical mixing vats. They deliver or have supply a just about everywhere in the states and have vats specically made for these applications.

Thank you for the offer, but I'm looking more for the water containers with screw on lids.

There is a guy in Galt with Food grade, screw top barrels 47 & 52 gallon. His name is George, 209-712-7955. You can find his ad on Sacramento Craigslist under Farm & Garden.

How about a length of PVC cut to your preferred size and caped? It's relatively cheap and made for water.
