alan mcilvried November 30, 2007 Share November 30, 2007 (edited) I bought a 37 gallon round "storage" bin from Tractor Supply to use as a second storage tank. It is TuffStuff brand and it is made from 100% recycled LDPE. It was $29 and it is SUPER heavy duty. I was pretty happy with it until I got it home and noticed a strange smell about it. Does anyone have any experience with Tuff Stuff or Recycled LDPE plastic? Lable says it's chemically neutral and suitable for water. (For salt water storage) Thanks Al Edited November 30, 2007 by alan mcilvried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 November 30, 2007 Share November 30, 2007 I would imagine that LDPE is food grade since they make milk jugs and other things from it. I would guess that your container needs a thorough washing. Contact the manufacturer if you are not sure, ask TSC for their number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan mcilvried January 4, 2008 Author Share January 4, 2008 OK, I've done multiple water changes on main tank and two 10 gallon tanks and no ill effects. Sure is a heavy duty container. No chance of this one leaking. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesbuf January 4, 2008 Share January 4, 2008 Did you notice a smell after you put water in it, or before? I ask because I used to get a weird smell to my RO water until I put a circulating pump in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
