Default Need large food grade water container

Hey guys so I'm looking to buy large food grade water containers to contain RO water without contaminating it. Homedepot sells a colaspable 400L one by does not indicate if it's food safe or not. I need one or two containers to add up to about 80gal. Here's link for the colapable version if anyone is able to find info on it.

Lots of barrels for sale on CL. Just have to make sure they are food-safe. I have bought ones that contained distilled water from a lab at UBC. Lots of local reefers have been using the food-safe barrels from different CL sellers for years.

100g drum brand new. Would love to get this for myself but my doorways are too narrow to easily haul these in and out of the house. If I had a fish room, this is what I would get for sure.

Ooo that's a sweet drum. I was planning to leave it outside. Would the sun ruin my water my RO water?

I've read that gray, white and yellow Rubbermaid Brute's are Certified to NSF Standard #2 for food safety.
