FAQs

Is the Black Red Gorilla Shallow Tub 35L BPA-free?

No, the black color variant of the Gorilla Tub is specifically noted as *not* being BPA-free. While the material is food-grade LDPE, if BPA-free is a critical requirement for food storage or preparation, you should choose a different color of Gorilla Tub.

Can I leave this tub outside year-round?

Yes, the Red Gorilla Tub is designed to be weather resistant and durable enough for continuous outdoor use in various weather conditions, including sun, rain, and cold.

How do I clean my Gorilla Tub?

Cleaning is simple. Just rinse the tub with water. For more stubborn dirt or residue, use a mild soap and water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads.

What does 'food-grade LDPE' mean if it's not BPA-free?

Food-grade LDPE indicates that the plastic material meets certain standards for safe contact with food. However, the manufacturing process for the black color specifically results in the presence of BPA. For food applications where BPA is a concern, it's best to select a BPA-free colored tub.

Can I use this tub for mixing cement or plaster?

Yes, its flexible nature, durable construction, and chamfered edges make it very suitable for mixing cement, plaster, grout, and other similar construction materials. Its easy-to-clean surface also helps prevent material from permanently sticking.

What are the 'golf ball handles' and how do they help?

The 'golf ball' handles refer to the textured, dimpled design on the handles. This unique feature improves your grip, especially when carrying heavy or awkward loads, making the tub easier and more comfortable to transport.

Troubleshooting

Tub feels stiff or less flexible in very cold temperatures.

The `LDPE` material is designed to remain flexible, but extreme cold can slightly reduce its pliability. This is normal and will improve as temperatures rise or if the tub is brought into a warmer environment.

Contents stick to the inside of the tub.

For sticky materials like mud or concrete, spray the inside of the tub with water or a non-stick coating before use. After emptying, clean immediately with water before contents dry and harden.

Handles feel uncomfortable when carrying extremely heavy loads.

Ensure you are using both reinforced handles and distributing the weight evenly. For prolonged carrying of very heavy items, consider transferring smaller amounts or using an appropriate cart.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability and weather resistance for long-term use.
  • Reinforced handles provide comfortable and secure carrying of heavy contents.
  • Highly versatile for a wide range of uses, from gardening to pet care.
  • Chamfered edges facilitate easy scooping, sweeping, and pouring.
  • Flexible design prevents cracking and makes it easy to manipulate.
  • Easy to clean and maintain.

Cons

  • The black color variant specifically is not BPA-free, limiting certain sensitive food applications.
  • Large size might be inconvenient for storage in very small spaces.
  • Shallow design may not be ideal for deep liquid storage without splash concerns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Red Gorilla Shallow Tub requires no assembly. Simply remove any packaging, and it's ready for immediate use.

Compatibility

This tub is highly compatible with a wide range of materials and environments:

  • Materials: Safely holds soil, water, feed, gardening waste, household items, and many non-corrosive chemicals. Its food-grade designation means it can be used for food contact, *though be aware the black tub is not BPA-free*.
  • Environments: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Its weather-resistant properties mean it can be left outside without concern for degradation from rain or sun.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure your Red Gorilla Tub provides years of reliable service, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Rinse the tub with water after each use. For tougher dirt or residue, use a mild soap and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the surface.
  2. Storage: While weather resistant, storing the tub out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use can help maintain its color and material integrity over many years.
  3. Heavy Loads: When carrying very heavy loads, always use both reinforced handles and lift with your legs, not your back, to prevent injury and evenly distribute the load on the tub.
  4. Temperature: Although flexible in cold, avoid exposing the tub to extreme, sudden temperature changes if possible, to maximize its lifespan.
