Lowes 5 gallon buckets
vs 5 gallon food grade Amazon buckets?
We consume so much plastic now a days, I’m wondering is it that much of a big deal to use Lowes brand non-food grade buckets as 2nd bucket on my diy sip buckets. Plants will be in food grade buckets but they white. So I have 2 dozen black Lowes 5 gallon buckets from my dwc in the past.
Question is, should I just the black Lowes buckets reservoir bucket on my system or use the food grade ones?

If they are made of the same plastic, yes. I forget the name, but it’s the bucket with the 4 in the center of the recycling symbol ♻️.
I used them for brewing for years and years with no ill effects. The only difference would be that mine are green and come from Menards.
