A Food-Grade IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) tote offers several benefits over traditional storage and transport methods. Food grade totes are specifically designed for the safe storage and transport of food, ensuring that the product remains safe for consumption and body absorption. Safe for bathing, cooking, drinking water storage and certainly for watering edible fruits and vegetables.

A 275 Gallon Food Grade IBC Tote is the ideal solution for a water harvesting, collection or storage, or liquid storage or transfer system. A 275 gallon tote will store and provide 5 or 6 times the volume of water than a standard 50 gallon rain barrel and costs less than one rain barrel. A 275 Gallon IBC Tote ( plastic bottle within a metal cage) measures about 46"H x 40"W x 48"L and weighs about 120 pounds empty and be easily moved around by one person.

Tip: Not all Food Grade IBC Totes are created equally! Especially the tote main valve thread type. There are three main valve thread types and you will want the main valve thread type to be coarse because the best tote accessories require the coarse thread type and the coarse thread makes the best long lasting secure connections with no chance of thread stripping or leaking.

Tip: Not all Tote Accessories are created equally! Through trial and error, we only sell or recommend the best quality tote accessories available guaranteed to fit and work. Including camlocks and threaded adapters, sealed or vented lid caps, cap filters, garden hose adapters and overflow fittings, high flow ball valve handle and butterfly faucets and shut-off valves, and UV protective covers.

We have several totes setup onsite where you can see different tote accessories and methods we used to capture roof rainwater or ground pump underground water and transfer the water to our totes that supply water to our gardens.

IBC Tote Containers Are Useful In Many Ways:

• As the population grows and electricity and water costs rise, preserving water by collecting and using rainwater sounds more like it might be a good idea! Public water and wells need electricity to pump the water throughout your home and property. Without water, humans, animals, and homegrown fruits, vegetables, and other plants cannot survive.


• In many cases, water or electricity is not readily or easily available where water transfer is necessary to provide water for you and your plants or animals. Rainwater can be collected from roof tops or water can be siphened from wells, rivers, creeks, or ponds.


• In other cases, large volume construction type liquid solutions must be transferred or made available at new construction sites such as fuels, sealants and oils or even fresh water.


• RV and camping boondockers, tiny houses and cabins, off-road sports event goers, and other creative tote uses are on the rise as well. Totes are also repurposed for a wide variety of other uses like firewood containers, composting bins, animal shelters like dog houses and chicken coops, bathing or soaking tubs, outdoor showers (stacked), and even small greenhouses or garden beds. The list goes as far as your imagination.

How Much Water Falls On Your Roof? (it is more than you might think)

Basic Conversion: One inch of rain on one square foot yields about 0.623 gallons of water.

Formula: Roof Area (sq ft) x Rainfall (inches) x 0.623 = Gallons Collected ( 500 sq ft x 1 inch x 0.623 = 311.5 gallons ).

What you can do with it? Power wash engines, siding, and roofs, irrigate or water crops, gardens and trees, top up wildlife or livestock troughs, wash tools and equipment, recharge swales or mulch basins, wash yourself or clothing, even drink it if absolutely necessary to survive. And, a whole lot more.

Good To Know:

Water off a typical metal/asphalt roof is great for irrigation but not good for drinking without proper treatment.
Keep tanks covered to block mosquitoes and light (avoids or slows algae build up).
Try to incorporate filters and screens leading to your water storage container.
Clean gutters, screens, and first-flush after storms.
Check local rules—some places have guidelines on storage or backflow prevention.
