Jazz Report post Posted April 6, 2019 So I just bought this one. The guy was questionable.. he told me it used to have glycerin. Looks brand new. Can I haul drinking water in this thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted April 6, 2019 I wouldn't risk it. Grey water, I would say ok but not for drinking. We have hundreds and hundreds of totes just like it full of some bad stuff. So they are out there. I would buy a new one for drinking water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazz Report post Posted April 6, 2019 I should note, the inside is clean and smells sweet.. if it *was* glycerin, game on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted April 6, 2019 If you are sure that it was a USP product. I think you can get them new for under 300 bucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted April 6, 2019 glycerin is water soluble and should rinse out, but I wouldn't risk it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StickFlicker Report post Posted April 7, 2019 I would think you could wash it out as good as possible, then "swish" some water around in it, then take that water to a lab for testing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted April 7, 2019 That would be ideal, don't know the cost is to shoot it. Probably what it cost for a new tote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

360 0r Better Report post Posted April 7, 2019 Get some purogene to sanitize it then follow that with citric acid this is what is done in the airline industry to clean and sanitize potable drinking water carts and trucks they used to do the same on aircraft but now they use a high tech ozone sanitizer on them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
