Hi all. I use 5 gallon buckets (old salt containers) for my 2 part solutions. The problem is that I would like to see when I’m running out of solution. I now see translucent 5 gallon buckets at the big box hardware stores. I’m wondering if anyone has tried these yet. I’m mostly interested in knowing if you can see the solution level and if there are any chemical compatability problems between soda ash and the bucket material. Thanks.
