Water Storage/Safety Question.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I propose to store water in my 240 litre recycling 'Wheelie Bin' (do they have those in the USA?) by cleaning it thoroughly and lining it with a large plastic bin liner.

Does anyone know if this is a good idea? Any negatives?

	Just use a food safe liner, not trash bags.

	Sounds great to me. I agree with 2ifbyC, trash bags are often chemically treated.

	Do they make 240 litre 'food-safe' liners?
