How do you transport RO water from LFS?

Would prefer to get 15 US gal at a time. I don't want to buy 3 containers from the LFS for $15/ea for a total of $45. What should I do?

home depot sells 5 gallon buckets for mixing paint for around 5 dollars if i remember correctly

I bit the bullet, bought the jugs, and keep reusing them.

Then again I work at my LFS, so discounts help.

Do they seal well?

Do they seal well?

you mean with the tops? i would assume soo, they sealed better then tropic marine buckets thats for sure. there made to hold paint i imagine spilling paint is alot worse then saltwater.

you know if you buy big salt containers you can keep the buckets for free

they probably charge you a dollar or 2 extra for a top

Cool I'll give that a try. I have 5 gallon buckets for water changes, I can probably just get lids.

most paint or hardware store probably have them. you can shop around if theyve gotten over priced at homedepot in the 3 years since ive bought them.

I got 10 of the home depot buckets for a tank move. The 5 gallon Poland Spring water cooler bottles are easier to deal with or get 3 of these

I use old plastic gas cans that never had gas in them. Not sure how much they cost know but they work great!
