I would not get any that previously held some kind of oil. Too late now. Mine had avocado oil and no matter what I used to clean it it still left the oily residue. I used it to store rodi waste water and the water got disgusting from the oil. Ended up cutting the top half off, lining the inside with a thick plastic liner and used it as a holding tank.
Just curious what you would expect an ICP Test to show you.With the bleach rinse, there was a slight residue that stepped on the top at the water line. It was easily cleaned out with a rag.
The container was looking good after the first bleach rinse.
With the citric acid, there is nothing on the surface or sides at the waterline and nothing on the bottom.
So far, its looking good.
When I'm done with the citric acid rinse, I'm going to find out again with pure rodi water, then submit an icp test.
Icp test will show me exactly whats in the water and how much of whatever is in the water. If I have soap in the water or anything else, it will show high concentrations of whatever elements make up the soap or whatever.Just curious what you would expect an ICP Test to show you.
not won’t be able to say if there’s still oil or soapresidue it would just tell you (maybe) what component elements make those up.
more maybe I’m misunderstanding how ICP works
Do you know what elements normally make up soap?Icp test will show me exactly whats in the water and how much of whatever is in the water. If I have soap in the water or anything else, it will show high concentrations of whatever elements make up the soap or whatever.
It should let me know if my water is safe for the reef.
No but the icp test has ranges that are high, good or low.Do you know what elements normally make up soap?
or what make up oil?
how would you distinguish if those were from soap or oil or from some other source?
I would be FAR more worried about some kind of soap than I would be about something like soybean oil.Do you know the elemental breakdown of soybean oil?
By the way, the container I have did not have soybean oil in it. It had soap for mobile car detail operation.
Bleach should take care of all the organics. I hope citric acid takes care of anything else.
And yes I posted the elemental breakdown of soybean oil above. It’s carbon hydrogen and oxygen.Do you know the elemental breakdown of soybean oil?

2 of 3 of those are things you’d find an abundance of in water
