Water barrels

Hey guys,
I am getting a good deal on 5 gallon water jugs but the problems is that they used to hold soap. Its a great deal, i think 3 - 5 gallon jugs for 10 dollars. They said that they are clean and not soapy. what do you guys think?

Personally, I wouldn't take a chance. Soap can leave a residue that could kill your fish.
Really, 3 jugs for 10 bucks isn't that big of a bargain.

Lucy, did you mean *wouldn't* take a chance?

If you go to home depot you can buy jugs there for the same amount of price and it's new. I agree with Lucy, soap leaves residue and would kill your fish.
