Default looking for water storage tank

Hello
Im looking for somewhere in Edmonton that has 200 liter containers (or something similar, can be smaller) for storing RO/DI water and mixed salt water. Im worried about impurities leaching out of some of the plastic containers. Im heading into edmonton/spruce grove on the 20th. If anyone has any ideas on where to obtain something like this?. Thanks

I have always used rubbermaid gargage cans and storage containers with no problem.
Used them for years. I know people use food grade buckets not sure if they would be
large enough.

I'm trying to find some in the same size. I'm looking for the heavy duty white food grade ones that you see at vineyards and such in a rectangular "space saving" shape. I would like to be able to make a little wood holder for it with wheels. I have been asking around fro a couple months now, but have not been able to find a source. I'm wondering if these bins are something that vineyards are able to obtain by wholesale only and they are not offered for retail since they have such a specific purpose. Currently I am using Rubbermaids, but I find them flimsy and too small.

I'm using 2 Brute garbage cans. They work awesome. One for RO, one for SW.

I think im going to try some of the garbage cans. I would be nice to find something that is square to save space but it seems like that garbage cans are safe so that will do.
thanks

Oh I love the red 'mounting bracket'!

Yeah that would be perfect.
