rick77 14 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 I've been searching for the rectangular five gallon enclosed buckets or pails just like the ones that are sold as the Enclosed X-Jet Pail. I'd like to get two or three more of them for transporting bleach to the job site. Anybody know where I can find them? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick77 14 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks for all the helpful replies! Those rectangle buckets are easy to handle and they pour without splashing chems all over the place if you don't pour too fast. I'll order a few of them. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick77 14 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 Hey guy I probley be up your way few months going to see my day late april in SC town called gaston Hey Chris that's super kind of you. I think Gaston is a couple of hours away from Greenwood so I wouldn't want you to go that far out of the way. But if you are by chance traveling close to Greenwood I'll take you up on that. Thanks!

rick77 14 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 wal-mart $10.00 bucks. I've got a couple of those (blue) 7 gallon water containers from Wal-Mart but they have the cheezy spout that is slow and clumsy to work with. The link to US Plastics that Chris gave in his post led me to the 5 gallon rectangular Winpak which is exactly what I need. They have them in blue or solid white for just over 10 bucks each. I think the solid white will help cut down on heat from direct sunlight. Thanks for all the helpful replies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick77 14 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 Our Chlorine if ordered in 5's actually comes in the square totes. Might check with your supplier :) The closest supplier that sells 12.5 % SH in 5 gallon containers is about 50 miles away and they charge $20.00 each per 5'er. I'm not sure if they get a deposit on the container or if it's included in the $20.00 price. Actually $20.00 for 5 gallons of 12.5% wouldn't be bad for a one time purchase if the cost of the container is included. I may check with them & see what the deal is. My local supplier sells SH in 55 gallon drums only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian 155 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 I guess I'm lucky to have a friend who works for Royal Purple Oil. He gets me some when ever in need. But the ones at wally world worked fine for my needs. I actually like the RP containers much better though. They are dark purple, so no sunlight exposure. Good luck in your search.

Yeah, the Wal-Mart containers work fine for me too but I like the square/rectangular totes much better because they don't have the cheezy plastic spout. The square plastic totes are just easier to handle and also easier to pour into and out of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 We used cleaned out left over sealer pails that are square, but we have also used the round ones. You can construct soap pails by plumbing them to suit you. Beth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Dahlke 114 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 Try local car washes. Some of the soaps come in square 5vers with the wide mouth opening. I had someone giving me his empties until he started buying soaps in larger quantities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
