It's written on the face of the container in code that only people from Alberta would understand . Maybe there is a similar farming supply type store out there. Also seen some almost the same at IPP. Looks like it would work well for a auto top off reservoir.

agreed. the "brute" cans from rubbermaid are very sturdy. Make sure there's no hole in the bottom though. I bought one before and didn't notice a little hole from manufacturing (where the mold breaks from the plastic). I filled it up, then when I lifted it I heard water gushing from the bottom.

They're readily available at home depot and only $11-18 a piece (depending on size).

I don't trust the trash cans on wheels. They're a harder plastic that doesn't give enough with the water pressure and that wierd shape at the bottom for the wheels could be a weak point.
