Thanks Rob, but I don't currently have space for those

I need the slender style
My space constraints dictate what I will buy
I have a base space of 12 x 12" for all 3 containers, so I'm looking for the tall and slender ones

They don't ship to my address, but thanks for trying

I'm hoping to find something that is HDPE
And hope it will stand up

I think Safeway sells them smaller water jugs (like the picture above,)where you normally buy the RO water for oneself. It has a spout as well.

You can also just order from the USA sending it to Point Roberts Letter Carrier or a place like that too....only 35 minutes from Burnaby you know... and gas up to save you the trip.

Lastly, you can make it yourself if you buy some cyclindrical PVC, or clear Acrylic tubing and cap it off.... might be a bit more to do it this way.

You could also try the 4 liter vinegar jugs they are tall and narrow, and they seem to be fairly sturdy so the heat shouldn't affect them

Thanks Harry!
Those are the exact ones I am looking for
Twice the cost as the manufacturer but that's life
