Barrel for Chlorine

[dschribs]

Is there any special specs I would need for a barrel to hold chlorine?

Does it need to be made of any special material?

I was thinking of going w this one...would this work??

HDPE works.

What are planning to do with it? Chlorine loses it's strength over time and if you are storing it outdoors, it gets even worse.

FauxQ - Is this HDPE?

pabeader - It will be stored in the basement. I want it clear to see the level of bleach.

My pump and timer will be mounted on the side of my house. The barrel will be in the basement right on the other side of the exterior wall where the pump/timer will be.

Neat idea. At least it will be climate controlled. Still keep in mind about the loss of strength over time though.

Probably. I would call to double check just the same. Good luck,

We are going to do the same thing! (placing barrel in basement for controlled climate)
