How do you use them for 5 gallon buckets - how many do you put in - can you just put them in the buckets

I tried to use them on glass canning jars and they didn't even seal most of them. My guess is they wouldn't work at all for your buckets because they don't have a tight enough seal. They only absorb so much air before they quit working so if your seal isn't perfect they would wear out from the little bit of air seeping in. If you have a rubber ring inside the lid of your buckets, or if these are metal buckets you will "can" with metal lids, you might be able to get them to work.

It would require about 7-9 of them for a 5 gallon bucket. I'd recommend going with 500 cc absorbers. Then you only need to use 3-4 per bucket.

Probably about 5-8 gallons. I think a 5 gallon bucket dumped in there would be enough for it to work but it probably could hold a little more to get topped off. Hope that helps.

I do not have a 5 gallon bucket handy at the moment, but it will hold an item 15.75" tall and 21" wide. I would guesstimate by casually looking at the cabinet that it would not quite hold one.

We have not set it up yet because it is a birthday gift for my son. However I have talked to pet store people and they say you can put 1 inch of fish per gallon....so if it is a 5 gallon tank you can put 5 inches of fish. Then you could have 2 2.5 inch fish or about 6 fish that are 3/4 an inch. I hope this helps

No. That's why I use a gallon bag to store them. It's a store-brand Ziploc equivalent and holds up to 66 (three boxes worth) and takes up less space than the original box or the silly dispenser sold with some. I just checked them against a quart-size bag. You could fit maybe half a box in one, if bag size is an issue. But no, they are not individually wrapped or anything like that.

Directions are to add the bag to one gallon water. That has worked for me. If you want to use filtered water, that is okay, since the Prills actually adds back some of the micro minerals removed by filtering. Use a good, clean 1 gal container to start. Add the prills, fill with water. I forget how long you wait, 4 hrs or something like that. Then you should be good to go. Refill when you are down to about a quart or so. That will act as a "starter" for the next gallon.

I bought 3 trays and they fill the bucket a little over halfway so I would say 5 would fill it all the way up with no problem.

If you plan to place your pots on the ground rather than on cement, you can use 5-gallon pots. Use 14" square metal cages, insert them into the ground, place an empty bag into each cage, then fill it with soil. Be prepared to add another cage on top as the season progresses.Or, a 14" square cage can be fit into a 15-gallon smart pot.

I just put my pump in a 5 gallon bucket. I tried to screw it on to one of the collapsible clear plastic 5+ gallon water containers but the opening was too small for the pump. I have had no issues just setting it in the bucket.

to be safe, I would get a five gallon bucket, WE did a 28 ft. fifth wheel and had about a quart and 1/2 left over, does a very good job!!

I use 3 in a 5 gallon bucket. The hens seem to get plenty of water. I have read that keeping the bucket full increases flow.

I would think so, but the bags are not going to reach the botton of the 5 gal. bucket so you will have to make sure the bag is secure on the top of the bucket.

I used a 5 gallon bucket and put a hose fitting on it and hung it outside on rafter of my coop. Ran hose inside and to PVC pipe that I put these into. I have a 90* joint so it is running down two sides of the coop and probably 7 or so nipples. Plenty water for my 20 birds with room for more without needing to add any more. I just fill the bucket once or twice a week. They work really well. I have part of the pipe at an angle so it is lower on one end for chicks. But you can also just put a few right into the bottom of a bucket and hang it.

You can fill 3-4 5 gallon tanks per bottle. I use more for my use, but this product works great! Use it and experiment.

I've always used a 5 gallon bucket, line with garbage bag and it goes in the garbage can.

Your bucket & how to use it: I use a 5 gallon bucket (you know, the kind sold at home improvement stores with the company's name & logo on them). Given the diameter of the washer, anything smaller shall probably be too narrow. However, if you can handle to weight of the water, you could use a larger vessel. For most batches of laundry, I fill the bucket half way (2 1/2 gallons) along with my detergent, agitate a few times to develop some suds, and then add the dirty laundry. Agitate like mad for as little as 30 seconds (for lightly soiled & delicate items) to 90 seconds (heavy things like jeans). If the item(s) being cleaned are very soiled (ground in gardening dirt on the knees), I find a good minute agitate followed by a soak for a couple hours and finished with another minute agitate will lift the ground in mud.

4 is wonderful because it means 4 times the flow, no waiting. Scrub them with a scotchbrite pad and heat them over 100 degrees to remove bacteria that plug the filters over time. I use 2 plastic buckets and lids to make a filter system. Stack the buckets, the lower one gets a valve, the lower lid and the upper bucket gets the filter, pointing upwards in the upper bucket. Simple, easy, add carbon and a silver coin. Don't know the gallon rate. Buy 4 and be happy. You can get big buckets at a beer store.
