Looking for the cheapest NEW Polyethylene 55 Gallon Barrels for water storage. Ive found them at Sportsman Warehouse for $60.00, but they should be around a bit cheaper. Anyone know?

Well, you may be able to clean them, but on craigslist you can get the blue or black for $20.00
I don't want any bacterial issues, its worth the extra $100+ bucks for me.
Sportsmans has been the cheapist localy I have found, unless you want used.
A little bit of bleach will solve any bacteria issues. And its handy later in water treatment or laundry. If you're real paranoid stop by a home brew supply house and get some of their keg sanitizer.Quote:

I still have a few I need to fill up that I picked up from a member on here. If you are in no hurry they popup once in a while
I got 4, I dont use. These used to hold concentrated food.. one smells like vanila. You know where my old house is.. Those drums are in the back. Bring your truck!Quote:

Rotation is unnecessary assuming the container was good to begin with. But I've drank water 5 or moee years old without ill effects. Searching only twitched a little.Quote:
