Looking for the blue 5 gallon containers

[Christopher]

I am looking for the 5 gallon blue containers with the molded handle but are thick, not thin like milk jugs or the kind like for water at the walmart.

I have only found 1 place online that sells them.

The kind with the white plastic handles over time get brittle and the handles break off.

I found a blue container that is very stiff, thick walled and has the threaded caps like on 55 gallon drums but so far only 1 supplier on the internet that I have found, maybe there are other suppliers out there?

Anyone use similar containers that you have had last several seasons and have a place where I can order them from?

Thanks.

Call a car wash chemical supplier near you or an actual car wash. That's where I get all my containers

I like these for the handles but not impressed with the caps they tend to leak when they are full. I'm not sure where we got them but i'll find out Chris..

carboys is what you are looking for Chris.

Down here there are no big suppliers that sell in anything other than 1 gallon jugs or the specialty chemical suppliers that sell only in the 55 gallon drums.

Checked with the local car wash companies and only in 30 or 55 gallon drums.

I need blue for the UV protection and the molded handle as I have had about 8 of the regular 5 gallon pails with the plastic handles break off as they get brittle over time.

I tried several times to post a pic but it will not let me for some reason.

Thanks for the help.
