Questions & Answers

What must you do to prepare it for use?

Although I felt the need to wash it, it can only be washed by rinsing out. It is because the top does not come off (or does not come Thus, I filled the tank with a large amount of water. I rolled the water around in my garden and drained it. My instinct was to be sanitary even though I thought it was clean and not odorous.

It says a pack is one of 1, but how do I explain Do pack 1 55 gallon drums come in packs of one?

What I can make out of it is that 'pack' is simply the order of the units to be sold. Typically, a single drum is referred to as a "pack" Two drums are in a 2 pack. There are other combinations for this drum and accessory pack - a set of two would make a set of two drums.

There is a torque limit of 20 ft lbs. written in the barrel's bung cap holes The weight of the person is lbs. What are the metrics I can use?

Is that so? Then they make a torque indicator for a bung wrench? Feel free to let me know if you come across

A solid top barrel with two bungs, one of which is 2” NPT and the other is 2” with very coarse threads, is what I use

Both of them got filled up in the finished basement of my house
3/5

I noticed water on the floor about 15 minutes later as I was walking by. There is the same 1/8" hole within two inches of the top lip on both barrels. Can you tell me what I need to do? My emergency water is over 400 pounds each, and they are not sealed, so there is no way to prevent bacteria from entering. It would be great to get an answer from Amazon regarding In addition to my laminate floors being damaged, I am not going to go through the labor and time it takes to empty and return them.

This product is different from what is pictured, was designed to hold drinking water, and the lid and sides have been drilled
5/5

Buy this product and don't be fooled! The purpose of this product is to store water for my family over the long term. A photo showed it had two plugs on the top that could be used to seal it, and no holes on the sides, so it was marketed as a container for storing drinking water. Inside the box, I found a blue barrel with only one plugged hole and a GIANT hole drilled into the top about four inches in diameter. A plastic chunk hung off one side of the board with uneven edges. The drill wasn't professionally done and it was ugly. A plastic screen was on top of the hole and held in place by four screws inside the barrel. These screws drilled straight into the barrel, creating four more holes that were drilled to let in air. Two holes approximately 1/2" in diameter were drilled into the side of the barrel. In one of the holes, about a third of the way up the side of the barrel, and in the other, two thirds. My job required me to dig out two screws that screw into the barrel side and are intended to screw into the I am afraid they would be one more weak spot in the barrel that could compromise attempts to seal it. If they were drilled as carelessly as the top hole I am concerned they would compromise attempts In the bottom of the barrel were several handfuls of plastic shavings. It looked as if it had been repeatedly dragged over rocks, since the bottom of the barrel was extremely dirty and scratched. Since I cannot tell what has been in the barrel before I'm afraid to even put water in it. It appears like it's been used previously as the barrel looks worn and torn and I don't even know what chemicals have been in it. It is not a good idea to buy.

The Solid Barrel is a container for potable water
4/5

This is a sturdy barrel of high quality that arrived clean and has a good fit for storing potable water. The bungs have different thread types, one with coarse thread and the other The seals on both seem to be strong. I've attached a photo that shows the details of the barrel model I To go along with these items, I purchased a siphon pump and a bung wrench. Both of these were An example of a siphon pump is Please note that.

The lid does not come off in its entirety
5/5

We are responsible for this not being what we had planned! There wasn't enough research done on this- Although it was not clear from the initial listing that there is no way to open the entire top to clean the barrel or empty it by putting a pump inside, it is what it is. This item is not free for return (understandably so, as it is a large item), and the shipping cost is not worth the hassle of returning It will be easier to remove the lid myself since the barrel needs to be open top.

This is a plus
3/5

We offer the best 55 gallon drums for water storage on the market from Augason Farms. The Augasons and those look similar, but they are superior in every way. Containers from Augason Farm have visible level markers, so you can tell how much water is in each one at any given time. In addition to the bottom and top, the bottom and top are built better. Gaskets and closure devices are widely used in this industry, so they are pretty standard. It is recommended.
