I have been looking everywhere to find so water jugs that I can use to store my RO/DI water. Sadly to say, I have been quite unsuccessful. I plan on making RO/DI water and storing it for top offs and such. However, I need something small enough to store under a sink cabinet for example. I'm in a condo, so storage is a premium and this is part of my WAF.

I've been to Home Depot, Walmat, and some grocery stores with not success. None have empty bottles. Home Depot carries the 5 gallon blue jugs, but they are prefilled. Walmart and some grocery stores have some nice flat but long 2.5 gallon bottles that I like, but they are also prefilled with distilled water.

I did however see this bottle at Menards. http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/detail.asp?product_id=5620B718G&categoryid=8510
This might work, but I'm not sure about how they would hold up for storing water. Any other place to look for empty water bottles that are also small enough to store under a sink. 5 gallon flat jugs would be perfect and I only need 2 or 3.

Thanks.
 
You can just use a new trash can.
 
If you tank isn't that large what about a 5 gallon pail with lid from a donut shop. I know around here they sell them for like a buck and they have only had shortening or icing in them. You could clean those up and use those.
 
I can't use a trash can, because of storage. I need to have this out of sight. I thought about using a Home Depot bucket with lid, but I was not sure if that is ok. Besides the look of the blue jugs look cool too.
 
If I read your post right you want something that will fit under your sink,and it should be able to hold 10 to 15 gal.Big Lots or Walmart both carry storage bins that would do it,if your worried about the strength double them up,If you can put a couple five gallon buckets under the sink,I would go that route,much easier to handle and you can use old salt mix buckets or buy some new ones at Home Depot or Lowes for a couple dollars each with the lids.
 
Yea, I'm looking for 2 or 3 5 gallon storage containers. I'll see how a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket will fit under the sink. If so, 2 or 3 of those would be great with a lid.
 
I have used the coleman 5 gal. containers in the past they work very well,some even come with a pouring spout,makes less of a mess.
 
perhaps a gas can or two, brand new of coarse...
