Where are you guys getting the 55gal white drums for rodi and salt water storage at. I went to tractor supply and couldn't find any.

Thanks

You can get the food grade Brute garbage cans at Wasserstrom's off of 71 just north of the Crew stadium. I have a 50 gallon for salt mixing and a 15 gallon for RO top off.

I'd recommend the dark ones as IME the white tend to allow light in and slime can grow.

I got mine from Craigs List.
You just need to clean out the syrup real well. I used a vinegar bath and then rinsed and dried a few times.
I had to drive down near Wilmington when I got mine a year ago, but they were only $7.

There are several listings for $15.
