Water Containers

Hi All,

Wanted to know what kind of containers you use for your RODI water and saltwater for transport in the 5-10 gallon range and where you got them from. LFS wants $10 a piece for theirs and I think I can do better.

Thanks,
BT

Re: Water Containers

I got 6-gallon jugs from Walmart, in the camping section like Daugherty said. Much cheaper than the price your LFS quoted you, I think the ones I got were a few bucks apiece.

Agree. Camping section is the place to look.
