just got a 55gal drum that has be reconditioned to FDA spec, what can i do to make sure it's clean enough to store R/O in????
 
water

I buy once used juice barrels[orange juice,olives,and halopeno]and the way i get the smell out is to fill with warm water,and dump a box of baking soda in.Stir and let sit over night,than rince and fill a couple times.If that doesn't work than use bleach and water.The bleach way might take a while to air out after you're done.
 
just make sure its sealed, and airated

heated and cirulated makes its eazyer for water changes,
 
Fill it up with water then test the TDS after a few days to see if it leeches anything.

Peace
