| Post subject: | Can chemical barrels be cleaned? |
Hello, I live in Jamaica and I have been wanting to create my system for a while now but could not find any food quality barrels in JA. Lastnight I got lucky lastnight and found out I could buy some barrels from this hardware and also the caged box things. My problem is that these barrel were used to carry chemical and greases so I wondering if its possible to make my system out of this and life survives it(algae test maybe). If I grow plants in this will they absord the chemicals > I eat plants. BTW I don't plan on eating the fish tho > micromagnication.... Would appreciate a good answer on what are my choices. CJ |

Depends on the chemical. People have used round up drums that had rain water go through for a long time. And oils have been cleaned out of IBC's. |

Hmmm is it that oil barrels can be used then, but be clean thoroughly? which chemicals should look out for? |
