These 30 gallon food grade, FDA approved barrels sell new for about triple the price (check out other sites then come back). You can buy a new one if you want, but why?
These barrels were gently used by the beverage industry to store soft-drink concentrate. Each barrel has been cleaned and sanitized and is perfectly safe for drinking water.
Has two 2" threaded bung caps (one fine thread, one course thread) with rubber seals.
These are great for a variety of uses such as rainwater collection, bio-diesel, deer feeders, fermentation / brewing, and emergency long-term water storage.
Experts recommend having one gallon of drinkable water per person per day (half for drinking, half for cooking & hygiene). We recommend storing enough water for 30 days for each member of your family. Hurricane Ike victims learned this lesson first-hand when millions were left without power and running water for weeks.
We also recommend using our 5 Year Water Preserver for storing water long-term in barrels. Without this, water should be rotated every six months.
We strongly recommend purchasing a bung wrench along with any of our industrial barrels. Without the appropriate tool, it is difficult to completely tighten or remove the caps.
Note: combined shipping discounts are not available on this item due to size.
