2,000 liters of water to clean a tank is expensive and time consuming. I used a gallon of ordinary household bleach and a high pressure hose. But then the harvested rainwater collected from roof gutters is only for watering plants. I live on a tropical island with very little rainfall. Our water bill is now 50% less from two tanks. The water (Can) also be used for laundry.)

Only problem is that bleach (aka chlorine) degrades plastics. Itll make the plastic or polypropolene brittle and itll fail way faster. Also, chlorine is absorbed by the body on contact. If you use that water on a food garden the chlorine may kill the plants. At a minimum the chlorine will get into the cells of your vegetables.

Someone gave me a tote for my baby goats a house. I didn’t know until after that it had contained Chlorinated liquid CIP. Can this be cleaned and used for a goat house without harm?

Have you ever tried a Freedom IBC Liner? So much easier and guaranteed interior surface.

When you say drinking water you mean you would actually drink or have your kids drink of that? How safe do you feel on that cleaning. Thanks.

If you are drinking out of an IBC tote when you have running water there is something wrong, If you are drinking out of it because there is no water well then take your chances, 72 hrs comes pretty quick.

Yeah you clean the totes out and filter it. It also depends on what was stored in them most have labels to tell you what was stored in them

If I lived in Detroit I think I’d take my chances with the ibc caught rain water before the city’s “leaded” version. Tap water isn’t always safe water.

you are using a non food grade tote for drinking water?

@woodee54 Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't drink from any food grade tank! Think about the dirty roof and all the bacteria! What creatures rats, mice and bugs carry, you don't wanna know! And when you get kidney failure it'll be too late.) ):
