Where can I find 5 gal water jugs?

[James983]

So I'm leaving for a weeks vacation in a few days and my ATO is stuck in transit from BRS due to bad weather last week. My old one died two weeks ago. Fortunately my son will be home and can manually top off my tank. I would like to have 3 or 4 water jugs full so he doesn't have to mess with pumps or hoses. Any idea where I can find some empty jugs near Bayport?

Not what you are looking for but you can get Home Depot buckets with the rubber gasket lids

I don't know about Bayport but I live in the suburbs of Chicago and every LFS in the suburbs and the city sells them on a regular basis. Have you checked your LFS yet? If you haven't I'd reccomend it. If you have a different one would probably have it.

Thanks but not what I'm looking for.

Thanks, may be worth a shot.

James,

I have a 7 gal container for RO water only you can use. It has a spigot on it.

Not local but perhaps an idea?

James,

I have what Vinny is pointing to but it's 7 gals. I also have 1 or 2 5 gal carboy's.

Thanks Walter, I may take you up on it if I can't find something today.

mgb, I'm leaving to tomorrow and won't do anything to the tank that I can't monitor for a while. But thanks for idea.

Vinny, no an option either due to my being last minute.

Last option, my son will have to pump water manually.
I hate going away.
Thanks all.

Thanks much.

I actually found collapsible 5 gal water containers made by Seachem at my LFS. Whats nice about these is they will take up very little space when not needed.
