Easily Clean IBC Totes / IBC tanks at the Carwash Homestead Hacks

[@CideryFromScratch]

This was a pretty good idea! Thanks for sharing. Its really nice to have the drain right in the center of the wash bay

[@FirstFruitsFarms]

Yw!

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

Well! Thank goodness for algorhythms eh! Here in Atlantic Canada, province of Prince Edward Island, I have an opportunity to buy two IBC totes, 1000 liters each. The need cleaning out though from de-icing fluid....and living in the country I cannot hose them down because the contamination would go down our drench into a beautiful Stanley River. You just gave us the solution....drive to a carwash in the next town and do what you are doing. Other channels suggest using Dawn soap first, and then rinse and rinse. Thank you so much for this brilliant idea and showing us how to do it. Gratefully, Atlantic Canada Eastern Canadian household 🙏🙏🙏 🇨🇦

Are you and your gardens still doing okay if y'all use this IBC totes for water? Problem with using those totes if they're not food grade and they had food in them instead of chemicals like the deicer what happens is that the chemicals that used to be in that tote when it was full have absorbed into the plastic and we'll reach out into your drinking or gardening water.😮

Love it. Vertically challenged, I call it.. my husband calls it a firecracker in small package.

Awesome! Just picked up a few today which had chicken fat in them. Sounds like the best way to go using the car wash! Thanks for the video!

[@FirstFruitsFarms]

Your welcome!

Great, lovely video. But what about the top part? Like under the top side and down the sides a bit? Cleaning the slaughter house and we had short hot water pressure cleaners. Chlorine and de-greasant.

I liked your video! But I couldn’t stand the music lol

We would love to hear more from you both about your experience during the week. Task are great but hearing from your heart would tell us a lot more about what is happening. Your parents trash!?!?!?! What does that feel like to have your parents move there or other members of the family? How is that impacting what you're doing, future food production, water supplies and the like? What has God shared with you and the family about direction? That would be far more revealing about how the farm is progressing. We love you and love hearing about water tanks, the suggestions, which that's all they are, would add a little more flavor, a little sprinkling of salt!!

[@FirstFruitsFarms]

Aye Aye Captain! I love sharing that stuff...will do

[@jacquiebrown3431]

I was wondering what the name of the company is where you bought your totes. I live in NWA and willing to travel for those kind of prices for food grade totes. Loving your videos.

[@FirstFruitsFarms]

It's just our local feed store in central Missouri

[@jacquiebrown3431]

Would you be willing to share the name of the feed store?

[@Supernaturalseamoss]

Genius

Just a reminder car wash watr is not potable in fact it is recycled. I would go after cleaning and rinse with fresh city water.

[@blessedisall6395]

Can you drink the water from the tote after using tire degreaser ?

[@factcheck1776]

My first thought as well.

[@hawkdaddy64]

Put a gallon of bleach and a gallon of water and rinse like mad. Once empty then use a gallon of vinegar and rinse but leave the vinegar in for 24 hours @ 6 hours on each side. Then you can start prepping to store water

[@dtm7909]

Can you haul 2 of them full of water in the back of your truck ?

[@FirstFruitsFarms]

I have a specific cart for hauling full water carts, check other videos

[@theresabouray552]

Take all the plastic off the cardboard box and put them in the bottom of your raised beds

The blaring terrible music ruined the video
