Looking for a clear wash bucket

Any leads?

20L/5Gal that I can use a gritguard with... maybe a gamma seal as well.

I would like to be able to keep an eye on the water quality of my ONR baths. Currently using a black bucket with grit/gamma and it's not really great for monitoring the water.

I love the Dodo Juice setup, but don't really feel like importing a bucket from the UK that is made here in the US!

Any other tips for ONR/Black paint appreciated!

Looking for something CLEAR like this:

Dodo Rinse Bucket with Grit Guard

 

5 gallon buckets your looking for are sold at home depot..iirc, one of the members shipped the buckets to Nica from the U.S. to canada....you can order the gamma seal lids from here http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/pr...splastic&category_name=20327&product_id=9715&

 

Yep got mine at hope depot..they even are marked by the half gallon..great bucket..7.50 if i remember

 

I got mine at Lowe's in the paint section. They have 3.5 and 5 gallon sizes that both accommodate GGs. They also have marks on the side at .5 gal intervals. JoeP is right on about getting the Gamma Seals from US Plastics, but play with your order total. I have found that shipping is ridiculous from them if you don't spend at least $25, then it drops by half.

 

^ same here.

got mine at lowes. Although its more opaque than clear. But I can still see my wash water well

It's $35 though. :X

 

I would just grab one from Lowe's. They're about $5.00 I believe.

 

Yep, that was methat sent the buckets to Nica,....... As stated Home Depot is the place.... cool thing about these buckets is that they have measuring marks on them so you can easily fill to the desired gallon qnty

 

I went out and purchased two clear buckets from Home Depot after reviewing this thread. Until now, I was having problems finding a 5 gallon bucket which would accommodate Grit Guards. Thanks for the input.

:nod: yup, those are the buckets I have. They work great, nice labels on them too :thumb:

 

ya the dodo an zaino ones are nice but they are costly.

 

Milabfocker- looks like a great solution to my problem, thanks for the input.

All the shoveling I've been doing lately almost made me forget this thread!

I will post if I do ever find the elusive clear plastic bucket!

 

I have the same buckets as Milabocker and Nica. They are great buckets.

 

anyone know if the Gamma Seal lids from USPlastics will fit these buckets from Home Depot?

 

Dang:doh:......I knew I was forgetting something when I went to Home Depot this past weekend. But hey, I did buy a 49.00 toilet seat. LMAO.

 

Anyone else having trouble getting their grit guards "all the way down" into these clear (purchased at Lowe's) buckets? Mine will only sit about half way down. Do I need to pound the thing into there and make it sort of permanent?

I suppose I could file down the outer perimeter of the grit guard, but I'd rather not do that.

Thanks!

 

been to a couple different HDs in Michgan and Alabama and can't find them... they still carry them?

ps: i know it's an old post

 

You could do what I do and buy Majestic Solutions Super Green Stuff in 5 gallons. It comes in a 5 gallon clear bucket with a heavy duty lid. Once I use all the SGS I have a bucket!
