I am wondering if using a Brute 32 gallon pale is ok for my drip system? Hydro shop keeps talking about "food grade". I have read that leaching of phosphates is the reason. Any input is great.
It's fine for water. Once you add nutes though, I'm not sure.I am wondering if using a Brute 32 gallon pale is ok for my drip system? Hydro shop keeps talking about "food grade". I have read that leaching of phosphates is the reason. Any input is great.
Search Craigslist and see if anyone is selling HDPE barrels near you. I got 55 gallon barrels for $10 each. Worth a look.I am wondering if using a Brute 32 gallon pale is ok for my drip system?

Does the recycled or "virgin material" matter in this case? I only store H2O...I think I am "mind fucking" tis?Search Craigslist and see if anyone is selling HDPE barrels near you. I got 55 gallon barrels for $10 each. Worth a look.
I have two 44 gal brutes, use one as a RO holding tank and the other as a nutrient solution res. Seems to work fine. They are NSF 2 (food equipment) and 21 (thermoplastic refuse container) compliant. They are convenient to move around, easy to clean, and has an ok footprint. It's almost like they were made for holding water instead of garbage.I am wondering if using a Brute 32 gallon pale is ok for my drip system? Hydro shop keeps talking about "food grade".
