Quality Water Jug?

[atlfishes]

I've been using the green 5 gallon jugs from Walmart. They are tall and skinny and I would like to stay with that general shape. I've now had two leak on me, so its time to change it up. Any recommendations?

People frequently post up ones for free or cheap. I think they were used for syrup or something food grade. I think they're 5gallons, might be worth a search.

Home depot has those 5g jugs for like $2-3...but most on here would prob. give you some jugs if you just asked...I know at one time I had several laying around...now my stock has dwindled some, but I'm sure lots of others have extras.

Thanks for the suggestions. Below is a link to the jug I'm currently using. Don't buy this jug! The shape needs to similar, to fit in the space I'm using.

I've been using these for a couple of months now, I've had no problems that I can tell. But you must buy the lid separate from the bucket, they can both be found in the HD paint department. I know the Homer bucket price online and in store is the same, the lid is $0.98 on top of that.
