I would not use that. I used one similar to that during tank transfers and it bowed real bad then cracked. Go to a local feed store, they have all kinds of water storage tanks. I got mine for $20.

You guys have no clue do u. Theres a reason people use food grade storage container to store there water. The reason is that regular plastic have phosphate in them. The food grade containers are made with phosphate free plastics. The phosphates in those container will transfer into the water then your defeating the purpose of filtering your water. Stop being cheep and buy some food grade plastic barrels.
