Water Storage WTB

[RicSG]

I am interested in buying something like this. Please let me know if this is safe for water and salt water mix.

Always a gamble when you dealing with a used product. Probably some sort of liner you could use to mitigate any potential problems.

I use 2 of the Rubbermaid cans (32 gal version)

I had a brute trash can split on the side from top to bottom and spilled water everywhere so I do not recommend using them. I have used the food grade drums like the one in your craigslist ad with no issues.

The ad says not for potable water so while that type of barrel is fine not sure that particular barrel is what you want.

[Coral Hind]

It does say that, but right below it says, "Wine or Beer Making, Pickling...Portable Water" I think once you rinsed it out you would be fine.

thank you guys. I was thinking about the craiglist one too. If any of you guys have any tips on where can i get them locally or something better than what i am looking at will appreciate. I cannot afford water spill. This time around and my wife will put an end to this hobby. I need it for water storage and also salt mixing so looking at two to buy. Thank you again for any tips.
