Hi all.

I have been given 4 HDPE containers. Thing is, is that they were used to transport Hydrochloric Acid and Caustic Soda.

They have been rinsed out then washed with detergent then rinsed out again 5 times.

Would they now be ok to use for RO water??

Thanks

Probably be fine, but you might just want to fill them with water and leave for 48 hours then chuck it.

Thanks for all your advice. I have used some of the water from the container and things seem pretty fine in the tank.

Cheers
