A 1,000 L IBC tote is the standard way to buy water in bulk. Puretap sells new totes and fills them with distilled, deionized, demineralized or spring water at our plant at 950 Verbena Road in Mississauga. You can buy a tote and a fill together, or bring your own clean tote to be filled.

IBC tote dimensions and weight
Standard 1,000 L IBC totes are built to fit on a pallet. Exact sizes vary a little by maker, so measure yours before you plan a spot for it.
- Capacity: 1,000 L, about 264 US gallons
- Footprint: about 120 cm by 100 cm (47 by 39 inches)
- Height: about 116 cm (46 inches)
- Empty weight: roughly 55 to 65 kg
- Full of water: about 1,060 kg, so you need a forklift or pallet jack to move it
How buying a tote works
- Buy new: order a new tote and a fill together, and we deliver it full.
- Bring your own: drop your clean tote at our plant and order the fill. See empty container pickup.
- Refill: once you own a tote, you only pay for the fill each time.
- Bigger volumes: if you need several thousand litres at once, a tanker load is usually simpler.
Who uses water totes
- Labs, manufacturers and process lines
- Forklift battery rooms
- Car washes and detailers
- Farms, cottages and rural properties
- Event sites and job sites that need water on hand
