Default Water Storage Containers in Calgary

I'm trying to create a list of places that sell potable water storage containers to use for water changes, storage, etc. Anyone else have any recommendations?

I use http://www.richardspackaging.com/ they have square and round containers from 10 to 1000 gallons.
Cheep too.

You wont see details on the website of the large containers but they are in the yard at the receiving door.

Do you have Early's Farm & Garden Centers in AB? They have used food grade 65 gallon drums that had food grade oils (flax or canola usually) in them for $20 each. You have to wash them out yourself which isn't easy, but the car wash helps! I have been using a couple for about 4 months now, and they seem ok. I have been testing the RO/DI water after it has sat in the barrels for several weeks and still get 0 tds. I'm hoping that means they are ok!!

Do you have a Wings Foods in Calgary? They are the makers of Soy Sauce, etc. I get food safe 50g drums from them for $15-20 (depends on style, small opening on top or full twist on lid) already cleaned out that were used for pickles or the like. You could just call any food mfg and ask, I'm sure most would be happy to sell them.

Thanks guys! I'll check those all out and see what I can find.

I always seem to be in need of containers.
