25l drums

Got drums from car wash if they wasn’t clean enough would ppm meter show it up or not ?

Had one customer complain she had a lot of water marks thinking it might be drum

Thanks for help

test it with tds tester, gotta use it often.

The drums would certainly need thorough cleaning out. I havent used any from car wash as yet, getting couple from my mate who has tropical fish and they will need a good clean, not sure of the best method/solution.

 
Cheers for the barrels MrGreen.

Hells teeth they are only about 6 quid new not worth the hassle of cleaning used ones out.
I have 10 in my van all old hypo drums and some from car wash

Takes 2 minutes to clean one out..fill halfway with water then shake with lid on..empty and fill with water..empty then fill halfway with pure and shake then empty again

Never had a problem and the car wash is 1 minute from my house

Why would i want to pay 60 quid for 10?

 
I could never find any new ones as cheap as 6 quid. I was lucky to find a guy round here that sold ones used for transporting whiskey/ brandy. Took seconds to wash out and cost me only a few quid each. I did buy a couple of new ones before I found this guy and the whiskey ones turned out to be a lot better anyway- stronger, better sizes, easier to grip etc.

Your welcome.....don't bother tipping your hat.

It seems only yourself Mr J&S is of the opinion that rinsing and using old barrels is a waste of time when you can pay FULL price and get a brand new ones.
Personally i cant see the problem taking maybe 10 minutes of my day to rinse 8 barrels out for FREE.
Theres sn old saying..... A fool and his money etc.
This is of course only my opinion and not necessarily the right one but hey ho..
