I prepackage my powders in heavy duty zip lock bags, all packages are ready to mix 5 gallon increments

I use empty bleach bottles.

5 gallon pails will hold up but they're big. For powders you could use 1 gallon paint cans or empty whey protein containers.

I buy it in 55 gal drums, transfer it to 5 gal containers, and then to 1 gallon old anti freeze containers.  I get the 5 gal containers from US Plastics. www.usplastic.com  (800) 537-9724  I have been buying from them for years.

Look  for F-Style Industrial Weight Jugs as they are similar to anti freeze jugs.  

p/n 66154   1-gal   $1.46    or   p/n 66300   2.5-gal  $6.05

   Clyde, that was on my to do list as well.

6 inch diameter PVC, cut to the length you need. Cap on one end and a threaded plug on the other. That will work for what you need. You could even use shorter 8 inch PVC and make a tray of four or five and set your 6 inch PVC containers in them. nice and organised.

mike do they make caps that big? seems like it would be kinda expensive though, and I wonder how easily the caps would come off?

sounds good though

For gutter cleaner I use those 5 gallon fuel jugs, they are usually either blue or yellow,..they also have two handles,..one up the back and one on top and they also have the breather for no "glug" filling.

For the other few soaps like Dawn, I like the Zip wax one gallon containers. I just paint them whatever color I want.

For powders like hydroxide, bicarbonate, oxalic etc... I use nice heavy 5 gallon buckets I get from Uline. I buy the simple snap on lids at Wal-Mart.
