    Default Looking for water barrel in Los Angeles area

    I am looking to get two water barrels to store water to store aged water.
    I assume the standard size are those 55 gallons blue containers ?

    Anyone has those for sales ? or know where I can buy those ? I don't necessary need new one. Any used one will be fine with me. Thanks.

    Check out your local Pepsi or Coke bottling plant. I got mine from Coke, free.

    You can also try bakery stores that do their own baking. They get alot of fruit preserves delivered in the food safe barrels too.

    There's a place next to me in the 91356 area code. It's called Red Barn and they have standard 55 gallon drums (blue colored, mine came with a lid and clamp). I think it's around $35 though. You could also get a 170 gallon watering trough! lol maybe a bit overkill.

    The Tarzana location had them. These are food grade and used for juice or other liquid for human consumption.

    This place is great. They have lots of used and even new barrel for sales. I told them I need a 55 gallon used one for fish tank water storage. They made sure to get me a food grade barrel, nothing toxic. The price is great too. If you are local and looking for a water barrel, this is the place for you.
