I use a plastic food grade drum that I found on craigslist , mine is 55 gallon with a screw on lid ( it had pickles in it )so I was able to clean it out really good and might be a little bigger than what you were looking for but they do also come in smaller sizes. Picked mine up for 10 dollars.

Heavy duty plastic trash can like a Brute comes in several sizes. I even use one for a big sump.

I use a 20 gallon Brute plastic can with lid for my water, and 2 food grade 5 gallon buckets to tote it to the tank. The Brute ran about $17, and the smaller buckets were about $5 each, all at Home Depot.

i heard that only white cans are BPA free and safe to use. and what do you think of this container?---> IRIS Food Container - Walmart.com

You can get 20 gallon Brute food grade containers.

FWIW, in the BRS videos, I've seen the standard grey containers at the receiving end of their RODI systems.

I just use plastic trash cans. For a long time. Never considered they might leach something. Oh well, if it ain't broke...

I use two of those containers - one for filling and mixing - the other to pull out the water so I am removing and replacing the same amount.

I wheel them all around the apartment ~15 gallons
