Supermarket water containers for storage

[mark freshwater]

Hi ,
my local supermarket has 10 litres of water for $3 , once finishing drinking the water can i reuse them for ro/di storage if i use said ro withing 2 weeks , or are they a one use only.
Would be alot easier for me to carry upstairs.
Thanks Mark

I assume that the plastic used is food grade, if it is, use it for storing water for our tank is fine. Reefers have used non-food grade plastic container for water storage or sump for our system forever without apparent problem.
10 gals to carry upstairs is a lot of weight for me, but if you are a strong guy, I say go for it.

I missed read it. I can handle 10-11 kilo fine. I am sure you can too. It is the 10 gal container full of water that will give me problem. :)
Isn’t metric system easy. 10 litter of water is 10 kilo of water. Salt and container add slightly more to it.
