You cqn get black ones (thin layer black plastic bonded to normal clear) and galv steel enclosed ones too. Need to seal all light though, so tape or flash around lid and tap hole.
I have only cleaned out food use totes that contained peanut oil, sunflower oil, etc. I’d probably make sure I knew what type of pesticide they contained then research which detergents would best break it down.
@@rudijones it appears that tons of dawn dish detergent, then a good rinse, then baking soda, and another good rinse. It was cleaned out before I picked it up and I don't smell pesticides at all so it will try the dawn recipe.
It what I use to sanitize my tap lines after season. The calcium hypochlorite degrades to just calcium instead of salt which sodium hypochlorite degrades to which the squirrels like.
@@rudijones ahh, I didn’t know that squirrels like the salt. Great to know. I own my own pressure washing and soft washing business and I use sodium hypochlorite…. Now, what I’d like to know is of any other advantage of calcium hypochlorite over sodium hypochlorite, if you notice anything.
@@malachibergman902 I don’t notice any real difference between the two other than calcium. Hypochlorite is easier to come by in bulk as it is used for pool cleaning.
These are always such timely updates for the work I'm doing in my maple woods - appreciate it!
I had to clean some with acrylic paint residue. Major PITA. Got it done though.
You can paint the totes or get covers for them. No more algae. They will also last a lot longer not being exposed to UV light.

I have a 275 gal IBC tote for water storage, what mix ratio would I need of Calcium Hypochlorite? Thanks
When you say to store water and well water, are you using it for potable drinking water or for other uses? TIA
Water is used for cleaning syrup making equipment
Have you ever tried an IBC liner? So much easier and guaranteed virgin surface!
Why do you only accept PayPal wanted to buy 6 from you till I seen paypal only. Seemed odd
Have you ever cleaned pesticides out of a tank? I just got a couple and i want to use them for chicken water.

Out of curiosity, why don't you use the IBC totes to hold sap? That's what we use here.
I do use them to hold sap
@@rudijones oh, ha - I thought I heard you say they only hold water.
@TheLuke1184 he only uses the ones he demo cleaned for water..
Where do you get your sap tubing tools?
Cdl online
Why don’t you use vinegar?
Vinegar is not the best disinfectant. I’m trying to kill any trace of bacteria and algae in the tanks. Bleach is cheap and works much better.
Why calcium hypochlorite?
It what I use to sanitize my tap lines after season. The calcium hypochlorite degrades to just calcium instead of salt which sodium hypochlorite degrades to which the squirrels like.

@@malachibergman902 the granular form of calcium hypochlorite has a much longer shelflife as well
