Tub for rinsing gear

[Broct]

Anyone know of a store selling the 100 gallon rubbermaid bins in CT area? I see them online, but would like to avoid the shipping charges.

Rubermaid Action Packer - great rinse tub. When done dump the water and store the dried gear in it.

I use the Rubbermaid box with wheels on one end both for rinsing, storage and carrying in the back of my wagon.

If you are referring to the 55 gallon one, I used one of these for a while in a sunroom that was carpeted. Apparently the plastic design is not designed to take the loading of the water plus the wet scuba gear and shortly thereafter I found all the water in the carpet due to a crack that developed in the bottom corner.

I tried another just like it but this time outside and it cracked also.

Bought one of the old school galvanized trash cans. (cheap) Will test it outside this season. I am expecting the small fabrication joint in the bottom corner to leak very slowly. No big deal.

It is rigid enough I am expecting to be able to empty it in a flash using the big foot push method

This was my solution. Made it out of T316 stainless. The fill is a 1/2 inch hose coupling... I just run a hose from the garage sink to the tank and turn it on. The drain is a 2 in. PVC ball valve. Empties from full in about 2 minutes. It measures 24 wide x 36 long. It's 15 1/4 in. tall on the fill side but I sloped the bottom to 16 in. on the drain side for easier draining.
I put the 120's in to give the pictures some scale. It holds alot of gear.
