Food Grade Water Barrels

[gnihcraes]

ok to post this here I hope... if not, move/delete or notify.

this guy says he still has a couple barrels left. 55 Gallons, food grade, contained no chemicals. $20 each.

I've purchased from him before.

As long as your not planning on moving them.

I figure more for home storage. I do have two I purchased from this gent in 15 gallon size with handles... makes it a little easier to load them up if you have too... still heavy though!

I'd rather have water purification systems available than to try to keep/carry that much water.

What kind of pump do you have for the stationary barrels?
What about a wrench for unscrewing the cap to put the pump on/in?
Thanks!

I have a little giant water/pond pump - any local hardware store carries them. To fill the barrels, put the pump inside a bucket in the sink and start filling, turn on the pump and fill up the barrels. essentially the reverse for emptying the barrels for water changes... stick the hose inside the barrel and pump it out enough so I can carry it to the floor drain a few feet away and dump it out.

Put in some chlorine bleach and fill it back up.

Reminds me... I need to do this.. it's been a while....

As for the cap, I just twist it on with my hand or if you needed to, use some channel locks or something similary.
